<p>A technique for distributing software in a computer system, the software being comprised of software entity instances and the computer system being comprised of hardware entity instances, the technique comprising the storage of data in a database descriptive of the software entity instances, hardware entity instances, and relationships between such instances; the modification of one or more software entity instances; the scanning of a database to associate with each modified software entity instance one or more hardware entity instances to receive each modified software entity instance; and the distribution of each modified software entity instance to one or more associated hardware entity instances. The model upon which the database is built describes all hardware and software entity instances, as well as the relationships between such entity instances which are significant to software distribution.</p> |
