  • Method and apparatus for multiplatform migration
    Patent number: 7356816
    Abstract: A method and system for migrating a computing environment from a source computing platform to a destination computing platform. A script defines at least one software system or application stored on the source computing platform. The script is parsed by a scripting engine to resolve specific user-selectable settings of each source software system or application. Genetic data is generated to represent the resolved settings of the source software systems and/or applications. The genetic data is then selectively applied to corresponding software systems or applications stored on the destination computing platform to automatically provide similar settings thereon.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 13, 2001
    Date of Patent: April 8, 2008
    Assignee: Computer Associates Think, Inc.
