The invention relates to a process for installation of a first program code on a server which is connected via a communication network with an installation server and on which a second program code is already installed. The invention further relates to the server and the installation server for performance of this process. A first data set containing the first program code is sent by the installation server via the communication network to the server. A second data set containing a test code for the first program code to be installed is sent by the installation server via the communication network to the server. Before integration of the first program code in the second program code, the server by means of the test code checks the second program code on the server to establish whether it is compatible with the first program code. Only if the result of this check is positive does the server integrate the first program code in the second program code already on the server.
Process for installation of a first program code on a server which is connected via a communication network with an installation server and on which is already installed a second program code, where in the process
Server with an interface unit for communication with an installation server via a communication network and with an installation unit for installation of the first program code on the server where the installation unit is structured so that it receives from the installation server via the communication network a first data set containing the first program code, wherein the installation unit is further designed so that it receives from the installation server via the communication network a second data set containing a test code for the program code to be installed, that before integration of the first program code in the second program code, by means of the test code it checks the second program code on the server to establish whether it is compatible with the first program code, and that if the result of the check is positive, it integrates the first program code in the second program code already on the server.
Installation server to support the installation of a first program code on one or more servers, each of which is connected via a communication network with the installation server and on which a second program code is already installed, where the installation server has a memory unit to store the first program code and a control unit designed so that it arranges the sending of a first data set containing the first program code via the communication network to the server or servers for integration of the first program code in the second program code already on the server concerned, wherein the control unit is further designed so that it arranges the sending of a second data set containing a test code for the first program code to be installed, via the communication network to the server or servers, where the test codes are structured so that the respective server can by this means, before integration of the first program code in the second program code, check the second program code on the server concerned to establish whether it is compatible with the first program code.
