The present invention relates to exchanging data between software components in a distributed software system comprising a first software component and a second software component. A first data exchange metadata description is provided that contains information on data structures used in a serialized data exchange by the first software component. A dedicated second data exchange metadata description is provided for each older version of the second software component, each second data exchange metadata description containing information on data structures to be used in a serialized data exchange by the second software component. As a consequence, the first software component having a newer version is able to exchange data with any of the older second software components by using the respective data exchange metadata in data serialization and deserialization.

System and computer program product for estimating the cost of an ESD for software and subsequent updates for the software. Various cost factors can be considered such as one or more of the following. First program instructions determine a cost of the ESD associated with packaging together components of the software. Second program instructions receive a selection from an operator whether to push or pull the subsequent updates to a customer, and determine a cost for distributing the subsequent updates based on the selection. Third program instructions estimate a cost of the ESD associated with a type of program used by the customer to create images of the software. Fourth program instructions estimate a cost of the subsequent updates associated with distributing the updates to a remote distribution site, and then distributing the updates from the remote distribution site to the customer based on a type of customer tool used to download the updates from the remote distribution site. Fifth program instructions sum together the various costs.

A new method is disclosed, for upgrading the software in a real-time distributed software system comprising several processes running in parallell. The method involves a preparatory procedure in which the new software is installed. Then, the software is activated, the components ordered to save configuration data and transaction data in a database, whereupon the components are stopped. When the preparatory procedure is completed, a restart procedure is invoked. This involves selecting start level (full upgrade involving all components, or a partial upgrade concerning just one or a few components). The modules concerned are started from the new software version. On each start level a number of start phases are defined. These are sequential steps performed during the restart operation. Each module subscribes to a number of these phases. Some of the phases are defined as synchronisation points, here called service levels, which all modules have to arrive at before the process is allowed to commence. During this process, each module is given the responsibility of converting any configuration data or transaction data belonging to it, if needed. The conversion is done by reading the old data from the database mentioned above and converting said data to the format required by the new software.

The invention discloses a method of disposing a Distributed Software System to solve problems, in the prior art, of software version inconsistency which is caused by large quantity of distribution spots of service, difficulty in disposing service software and easily caused inappropriate human operations. The invention includes the following steps: (1) the center service process sends the instruction of updating the version of the service software to the local proxy process which is independent from distributed spots. (2) the local proxy process updates the software version according to the instruction, in which the center service process and the local proxy process will use uniform binary instruction. Therefore, all the local proxy processes on each service distribution spot will update the version of the service software from the center service process, which enables the service software of each service distribution spot of the enterprise-level or telecommunication-level software system to keep consistent with each other, thereby avoiding the inconsistency of service software caused by large amount of inappropriate human operations, and making the distribution of the service software easier.
