Service Template Property Reset for Component Version Upgrades
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing automation techniques for managing computer systems do not effectively handle component improvements, such as version upgrades, and changes in property settings associated with these components, leading to potential operational issues and inefficiencies.
Innovation Solution
A management system that includes an interface device, storage resource, and processor to create or edit service templates, upgrade component versions, estimate post-reset configurations, search for compatible property groups, and display setting content, facilitating easier property resets during version upgrades.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If component version upgrades are performed manually without automated property reset support, then version improvements can be applied, but the process becomes time-consuming and error-prone due to manual property resetting
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-stores multiple candidate property groups in the property group storage unit before version upgrades occur. When a version upgrade is triggered, the system automatically retrieves and applies the appropriate property group without requiring manual intervention, thus performing the property reset action in advance to eliminate time loss during the upgrade process
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables automated self-service property resetting through the version upgrade processing unit, which automatically identifies the target component, retrieves the corresponding property group, and applies the reset without human intervention. This self-service mechanism eliminates manual labor and reduces errors associated with manual property management
2Measurement precision
If comprehensive property groups are stored for all possible version scenarios, then property reset accuracy is improved, but system complexity and storage requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system stores property groups with localized specificity, where each property group contains only the exact properties needed for a particular version scenario rather than all possible properties. The property group storage unit organizes data by component type and version, allowing the system to retrieve only the relevant subset of properties needed for each specific upgrade, thus maintaining high accuracy without excessive complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The property management system is segmented into distinct functional units: property group definition, storage, retrieval, and application. Each unit handles a specific aspect of property management independently. Property groups are further segmented by component type and version, allowing the system to manage complexity through modular organization while maintaining comprehensive coverage for accurate resets
3Productivity
If automated property group retrieval is implemented, then management efficiency is improved, but the system requires more sophisticated processing and storage infrastructure
Solution Approach 1:
The property group storage unit and retrieval mechanism are designed as universal components that can serve multiple version upgrade scenarios across different component types. The same storage and retrieval infrastructure handles various property groups for different components and versions, eliminating the need for separate specialized systems for each upgrade case, thus improving productivity without proportionally increasing infrastructure complexity

AI summary
A management system and management method for facilitating resetting of necessary properties along with a version upgrade of a component are proposed. The management system and management method are designed to: update a version of a target component associated with a designated service template or its duplicate in response to a version upgrade request which designates a service template; estimate possible configurations as a post-reset configuration caused by the version upgrade of the target component with respect to each property group including properties associated with the version-upgraded target component, from among property groups of the designated service template or its duplicate; search for a property group having any of the estimated configurations from among property groups of a service template other than the designated service template or its duplicate; and display setting content of the property group detected by the search.
