Automated Deployment of Enterprise Archive with Dependency on Application Server Via Script - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17454142 titled 'Automated Deployment of Enterprise Archive with Dependency on Application Server Via Script

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a computer-based method, system, and program for automatically deploying an updated configuration to a computer system. Here are the key points:

  • The invention provides a set of management objects that allow users to configure an environment using commands and command parameters.
  • The management objects are used to identify and install a set of applications in the current configuration.
  • A deployment script is created to automatically deploy the updated configuration.
  • The deployment script stops any running applications that need to be updated.
  • It also uninstalls any previous versions of the applications that exist in the current configuration.
  • The updated configuration is then used to install and execute the applications.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • This technology can be used in software development and deployment processes to automate the installation and configuration of applications.
  • It can be utilized in system administration to streamline the deployment of updates and configurations across multiple computer systems.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Manual installation and configuration of applications can be time-consuming and error-prone. This technology automates the process, reducing human effort and potential mistakes.
  • Updating applications in a complex environment can be challenging. This technology simplifies the process by automatically stopping and uninstalling previous versions before installing the updated configuration.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Automation of the deployment process saves time and effort for system administrators and developers.
  • The risk of errors during installation and configuration is reduced, leading to more reliable and consistent deployments.
  • The ability to automatically stop and uninstall previous versions ensures a clean and efficient update process.


Original Abstract Submitted

A computer implemented method, computer system, and computer program product for automated deployment of an updated configuration to a computer system. A set of management objects are provided that enable commands and command parameters to configure an environment. Using the set of management objects, a set of applications re that are installed in a current configuration. A deployment script to automatically deploy an updated configuration. In executing the deployment script, for each application to be installed, if a version of the application is running, the application is stopped. For each application to be installed, if a version of the application is installed in the current configuration, the application is uninstalled. Using the set of management objects, the application is installed according to the updated configuration, and executed.
