Estimating the term…
A service library framework that provides a common software interface for low-level system management software modules that provides system administration processing and interfaces with remote computers that execute various types of operating systems. Service library modules are created for each operating system to be managed by a system administration management system. High-level system management applications are only required to have interfaces to a common, generic system request and response interface provided by the service library. The operating system specific service library modules translate requests into operating system specific requests and translate operating system responses into generic messages to be returned to the high-level system.
A computer implemented method for administering a plurality of computer software operating systems, the method comprising:
A service software library comprising:
A signal bearing medium including a program which, when executed by a processor, performs operations for transferring a data message, the operations comprising:
The signal bearing medium according to claim 15, wherein the operations for converting the at least one generic software operating system administration request comprise operations for converting the at least one generic software operating system administration request into a plurality of software operating system specific system administration requests, and the operations for submitting communicate respective software operating system specific system administration requests to corresponding processing systems that are executing one of the corresponding software operating systems.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
