Abstract: The invention resides in a method, system and program product for grouping related program sequences for performing a task. The method includes establishing, using a first code for grouping, one or more groups that can be formed between one or more related group-elements obtained from a plurality of groupable program flow documents, and executing, using a group program sequence engine, the groupable program flow documents, wherein each group-element considered an ancestor group-element of a group established and validated by the first code is executed before executing a related group-element obtained from the group, and wherein the related group-element of the group is executed only once during execution of the groupable program flow documents for performing the task. In an embodiment, the establishing step includes identifying a name attribute specified in the one or more related group-elements for establishing the one or more groups.

Abstract: A system and program product for enabling dormant computer hardware resources in a computer system having a set of dormant computer hardware resources. The method includes accepting a customer request to enable a set of dormant hardware resources, and providing computer readable instructions to a customer accessible console in communication with the computer system. The instructions are installable by the customer, and are capable of enabling dormant computer hardware resources upon installation. An order process establishes prerequisites, facilitates customer order placement, and provides rapid order fulfillment. Prerequisites include contract terms, information describing the computer system configuration, access to provider systems, and customer system setup. Ordering is facilitated through information management, configuration rules, and an interactive interface, presenting valid configuration options to the customer.

Abstract: A provider server receives an order from a customer by way of a workstation for a customer selected configuration change of computing resources of an end user machine, the provider server having a predetermined time period and negotiates configuration change price for billing said customer for the purchase of said ordered customer selected configuration change, said negotiated configuration change price for billing said customer for the purchase of said ordered customer selected configuration change.
