Abstract: A method of creating an activation solution for commercial network services is disclosed. The method employs modular, reuseable building block archive files, which represent a higher level of abstraction than simple atomic tasks. After the building block archives files suitable for addressing the needs of an activation solution are selected, innovative logic combines these building block archives to more quickly create an activation solution than is possible working from individual atomic tasks.

Abstract: An object conversion system which allows applications and their data to migrate from a classless object space to a class-based object space independently of other applications and data. A set of procedures operate upon, update, and maintain a set of four tables, including, (1) a field location table for use in determining whether a field was created by a classless object model application or a class-based object model application; (2) a field method table for storing mappings from fields to both their corresponding class and method for access; (3) an identification table for storing the mapping between a classless object ID and its corresponding class-based object ID; and (4) an object description table for storing the mapping between a classless object ID to every field associated with that classless object ID.
