Problems solved by technology
IT needs, however, are constantly evolving and at the same time the size, speed, complexity, and other factors associated with an IT environment may change.
Updating a deployed software solution that has been customized for an enterprise client introduces multiple issues for the enterprise client because updating a software solution typically requires migration of one or more components of the deployed software solution.
One issue for enterprise clients in migrating a deployed software solution is that migration of software components is made more complex when one or more software components of a software solution are dependent upon one another and when differing upgrade approaches are required for each individual software component of a software solution.
In addition, each enterprise client will encounter

A migration set list generator specifies a physical topology of a deployed software solution, wherein the software solution comprises a plurality of software components and data associated with said plurality of software components integrated into a single entity. The migration set list generator specifies at least one solution change to the deployed software solution to meet at least one business requirement and specifies at least one migration strategy for migrating the deployed software solution, wherein the at least one migration strategy comprises at least one of a product level strategy specified for a particular software component of the plurality of software components and at least one solution level strategy specified for the plurality of software components, wherein the product level strategy overrides the solution level strategy for the particular software component. The migration set list generator generates a plurality of migration tasks for making the at least one solution change to the deployed software solution specified in the physical topology based on the at least one migration strategy and generates a recommended physical topology yielded for the software solution if the physical topology is updated according to the plurality of migration tasks.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Technical Field[0002]This invention relates in general to computer software solutions, and more particularly, to generating a customized set of tasks for migration of a deployed software solution.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]Many business enterprises spend considerable resources assessing information technology (IT) needs and deploying a software solution into an IT environment to meet these IT needs. In one example, a software solution refers to a total solution of integrated software components and associated data. IT needs, however, are constantly evolving and at the same time the size, speed, complexity, and other factors associated with an IT environment may change. Thus, once a software solution is deployed for an enterprise client, the enterprise client is likely to need to update any or all of the integrated software components that comprise the software solution.[0005]Updating a deployed software solution that has been customi...
