20080301641 | Management of Heterogeneous Software Artifacts Through a Common Representation - A method for managing a configuration of heterogeneous software artifacts through a common central configuration representation includes adding a plurality of software artifacts from an initial software solution to a heterogeneous configuration tool. Using this heterogeneous configuration tool, artifact-level configuration parameters are extracted out of selected software artifacts by the heterogeneous configuration tool. The extracted artifact-level configuration parameters are then presented in a single representation. A subset of the presented extracted artifact-level configuration parameters is mapped to a set of solution-level parameters, which are then exposed in a subsequent software solution. Thereafter, parameters for one or more of the solution-level parameters, which are used by the subsequent software solution, are exposed. These parameters for the subsequent software solution are then mapped back to the artifact-level configuration parameters of the subsequent software solution. | 12-04-2008 |
