INSTALLATION TOOL FOR ENTERPRISE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS BASED ON BUILDING BLOCKS

摘要

An installation tool is proposed for EMS systems in which the operation of a business logic portion is defined by a settings portion. According to the embodiment, the installation tool includes a plurality of "building blocks", modular increments of settings information that is sufficient to establish a predetermined business process within the EMS system. As part of the installation process, an operator may select one or more building blocks from among a library of the blocks (1030). The selected building blocks may be added to an installation container (1040). Once all desired building blocks have been selected, the EMS system may be installed on a target system, using the container's building blocks to define the settings on which the EMS system will operate.
