Abstract
The invention relates to a system and a method for managing and/or providing partial solutions consisting of elements. With the aid of the system and method, existing partial solutions can be reused and updated. Here at least one partial solution is created, especially by a user, with the at least one partial solution serving as a template for creating a copy. The created partial solution is saved in a library and a copy of a saved partial solution (2l..2n) is created. The at least one copy of the partial solution thus serves for use in creating a solution, in particular an automation solution.

A system for managing or providing a solution, the solution including partial solutions having solution elements, the system comprising:
- a first engineering unit for creating at least a partial solution, the partial solution serving as a model for creating a copy of the at least one partial solution;
- a library for storing at least the created partial solution;
- and
- a second engineering unit for creating at least one copy of a stored partial solution, wherein a solution is created based on the at least one copy of the stored partial solution.
A method for managing or providing a solution, the solution including partial solutions having solution elements, the method comprising:
- creating at least one partial solution;
- using the at least one partial solution as a template for creating a copy of the at least one partial solution;
- storing the created partial solution in a library;
- creating at least one copy of the stored partial solution;
- and
- creating a solution based on the at least one copy of the stored partial solution.
