  • Method for optimizing migration of software applications to address needs
    Patent number: 8429645
    Abstract: An exemplary method (which can be computer implemented) for enhancing migration of software applications from a source system environment to a destination system environment includes the steps of translating needs into requirements for the destination system, capturing deployment and configuration of the software applications in the source system environment and the destination system environment in a centralized model, analyzing dependencies between the systems in the source and destination systems to construct a mapping between the requirements and elements of the model, and generating enhanced migration rules, based, at least in part, on the mapping.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 14, 2007
    Date of Patent: April 23, 2013
    Assignee: International Business Machines Corporation
    Inventors: Patrick J. Draper, Kevin D. Galloway, Jim Hyde, Ying Li, Liang Liu, Qian Ma, Krishna C. Ratakonda, Kewei Sun
  • Method for enabling traceability and recovery from errors during migration of software applications
    Patent number: 7870169
    Abstract: A method (which can be computer implemented) for addressing errors during migration of software applications includes the step of obtaining access to a data repository, which includes a listing of migration decisions and a listing of dependencies associated with the migration decisions. The method further includes the steps of obtaining an indication of a migration error, tracing the migration error to at least a first one of the migration decisions in the data repository, and employing the listing of dependencies to identify at least a second one of the migration decisions, depending on the at least first one of the migration decisions identified in the tracing step, which is impacted by the migration error. Techniques for populating the data repository are also provided.
