IT Environment Construction Support via Parameter Correspondence
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The construction of IT system environments is labor-intensive and prone to quality deterioration and increased costs due to the need for manual management of complex design changes and script updates, with existing solutions requiring individual script creation for each system and considering dependency relations, which leads to inefficiencies and waste.
Innovation Solution
An environment construction support device that stores a tree structure model and construction script structure, with parameter correspondence information updating to reflect changes, allowing for efficient construction of IT system environments by managing dependencies and automating script generation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If construction scripts are created individually for each IT system, then the environment can be constructed for each system, but manual labor increases and costs rise
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal construction script template that can be applied across multiple IT systems. Instead of creating individual scripts for each system, a single template with parameterized sections handles various construction scenarios, reducing manual effort while maintaining system-specific customization through parameter substitution.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses template copying and substitution mechanisms where a master construction script template is copied and automatically customized for different IT systems by replacing parameters such as system names, versions, and configuration values, eliminating the need to manually create separate scripts for each system.
2Adaptability or versatility
If design changes are made to IT systems, then the system adapts to new requirements, but rework and management complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the construction script into modular templates with distinct parameter sections. Each template section represents a discrete functional unit that can be independently modified. When design changes occur, only the affected parameter sections need updating rather than rewriting entire scripts, reducing management complexity while maintaining adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent prepares construction script templates in advance with predefined structures and parameter placeholders. This preliminary setup allows future design changes to be accommodated by simply updating parameter values in the existing template framework, rather than creating new scripts from scratch, thus reducing rework while preserving flexibility.
3Manufacturing precision
If construction scripts are updated manually, then the latest requirements can be reflected, but time consumption and error rates increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-updating construction scripts where parameter values are automatically retrieved from configuration files or databases. When source data changes, the scripts automatically update themselves through parameter substitution, eliminating manual editing while maintaining accuracy and reducing update time.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent establishes a feedback mechanism where construction scripts automatically detect changes in source configuration data and trigger corresponding updates. This feedback loop ensures scripts remain synchronized with the latest requirements without manual intervention, improving both accuracy and update efficiency.
Data Source
AI summary
According to the invention, it is possible to efficiently construct an environment for implementing an IT system. Provided is an environment construction support device. The environment construction support device stores a tree structure model that is information representing an environment for implementing an IT system in a tree structure and can be updated as needed, a construction script structure that is information related to a construction script that is a series of codes for constructing the environment and can be updated as needed, and parameter correspondence information that is information indicating a correspondence between an element of the tree structure model and an element of the construction script, and updates the parameter correspondence information to correspond to latest contents of the tree structure model and the construction script structure by comparing at least one of the tree structure model and the construction script structure with the parameter correspondence information.
