PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To conquer the disadvantage of a conventional method to patching such as the increase of a labor related with the reception and application of patch. SOLUTION: A facility receives, in a computing system, a distinguished patch package for modifying the behavior of a programmatic entity. The facility automatically extracts, from the distinguished patch package, (1) patch application information that identifies a distinguished programmatic entity to which the patches are applied, and (2) patch behavior information that specifies a manner to modify the behavior of the distinguished programmatic entity. The facility automatically adds, to a patch table, a distinguished entry containing the extracted patch application information and patch behavior information. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
