Abstract

A computer implemented method, data processing system, computer usable program code, and active repository are provided for management of a software service. A request is received to deploy the software service in a computer network. A dependency analysis is performed for the requested software service to determine component software services and physical resources necessary to deploy and manage new software service as a composite in responsive to the software service being the new software service. An active object is created to manage the new software service using an active template based on the analysis. The new software service is deployed in the computer network using the active object. The new software service is managed using the active object.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention

[0002] The present invention relates generally to networked computer systems. More particularly, the present invention relates to software and systems management in networked computer environments.

[0003] 2. Description of the Related Art

[0004] Distributed environments such as clusters of computing systems, data centers, and grid systems involve managing a large number of resources and service components. Typical end-service provided to the users of such systems require composition of multiple resources and service components, which together deliver the end-service that is of interest to the users. Such composition of multiple components require careful configuration of the components and deployment of these components, such that they interface with each other in a compatible manner so that the composite service is deployed, initialized, handles the workload submitted by users, handles component level faults gracefully, and provi...
