Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for applying a code update to a target system from a personal communication device. A code update command is received from a messaging application, executing on the personal communication device of the user, indicating a code update to install on the target system a code update maintained in the target system. The code update command is processed to extract indication of the code update to install and a target system user identifier of the target system on which to install the code update. At least one job is generated to install the code update on the target system. The at least one job is transmitted to the target system to cause the target system to process the at least one job to install the code update.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method according to one embodiment includes outputting an interface, receiving a first input and parsing contents of the first input. It is determined whether the first input includes the instances of information: a type of modification that is to be performed, a program that is to be incorporated in the performing of the modification, and a target system on which the modification is to be performed. In response to a determination that the first input does not include one or more of the instances of information, a request is output. In response to a determination that the first input includes the instances of information, a process is performed. The process includes correlating the instances of information to a script file and performing the modification in accordance with the instances of information of the first input. The process further includes collecting status information and outputting the status information.
