Abstract: A method, system, and/or computer program product provide a custom virtual appliance. One or more processors generate a description file of a custom virtual appliance based on a user requirement. The processor(s) acquire configuration metadata of the custom virtual appliance from the description file. The processor(s) create a list of candidate virtual appliances based on the configuration metadata. The processor(s) acquire a disk size of the custom virtual appliance based on configuration metadata. The processor(s), for a specific virtual appliance in the list: acquire a disk size of the specific virtual appliance; and determine, based on the disk size conversion information, whether the specific virtual appliance is required to convert a disk size of the custom virtual appliance. In response to determining that a candidate virtual appliance from the list is required to convert the virtual disk, the processor(s) construct the candidate virtual appliance as the custom virtual appliance.

Abstract: An aspect of generating a product model includes extracting from source code of an application system at least one transaction definition associated with the source code. Each transaction definition describes a transaction in a product implemented by the source code. An aspect also includes dividing the transaction definition into one or more product categories, and obtaining a product component associated with one of the product categories from the source code so as to generate the product model. The product component includes at least one product parameter associated with the product category, and the product model includes an association relationship between the product category and the at least one product parameter.

Abstract: A method, system and/or computer program product provides a custom virtual appliance. A description file of a custom virtual appliance is generated based on a user requirement. A configuration metadata of the custom virtual appliance is acquired from the description file. A list of candidate virtual appliances is created based on the configuration metadata by using conversion information, wherein the candidate virtual appliances in the list are capable of converting to a configuration that corresponds to the configuration metadata.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method for providing a technical solution for model driven development. Program code is analyzed to determine the execution sequence of states of the program code. The program code is generated by performing a first transformation to a model. The model includes an abstract description of a business implemented by the program code. At least part of the statement of the program code is grouped into functional blocks. A visual representation of the program code is created. The visual representation is based on the execution sequence and the functional blocks. A code snipped is determined to be preserved in the program code based on a user's annotation of the visual representation. The code snippety is to be preserved in new program code generated by performing a second transformation to the model. The second transformation is executed after the first transformation.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and program product for generating a business rule model. In one embodiment, there is provided a method for generating a business rule model, comprising: extracting from source code of an application system a business flow executed by the source code, the business flow comprising a plurality of business procedures that are executed in an order; analyzing parts in the source code that are associated with various business procedures among the plurality of business procedures, building rule metadata describing business rules followed by various business procedures; and generating a business rule model followed by the business flow on the basis of the order and the rule metadata. In one embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus for generating a business rule model. Accordingly, a business rule model may be automatically generated from source code of an application system without manual manipulation.

Abstract: At least one XML document to be validated is parsed, and XML data in the at least one XML document is represented as data objects in at least one data object model in a memory. At least one rule document is parsed and a rule object model that includes rule objects is created in the memory. At least part of the data objects are extracted from the at least one data object model and at least part of rule objects are extracted from the rule object model. Partial validation is performed in a corresponding execution context that validates the extracted at least part of the data objects based upon the extracted at least part of the rule objects.

In response to obtaining the message of other programs on which the program is dependent from the sub/pub server, the program is deployed.

Abstract: According to an aspect, a method for correcting an invalid script in a web application includes determining an invalid reference in an invalid script. A storage location is determined in a database corresponding to the invalid reference based on a data relationship mapping, wherein the data relationship mapping indicates the correspondence between the reference and a storage location in the database. An up-to-date value at the storage location is queried and the queried up-to-date value is determined to be the correct value of the invalid reference.
