Abstract
The generation of an activity display for displaying history data for one or more migration values is provided. A history record that includes various modification attributes is generated each time the migration value is modified and stored as history data. One or more stored history records can be obtained from the history data and displayed to the user. When multiple history records are to be displayed, they can be categorized in a hierarchical structure based some of the modification attributes to enable a user to selectively display and navigate the history records.
Claims29
A method of managing inventory for a migration, the method comprising:
- obtaining at least one migration component for the migration;
- obtaining a set of history records for a migration variable for the at least one migration component, wherein each history record in the set of history records corresponds to a unique modification of a value of the migration variable and includes a set of modification attributes associated with the unique modification;
- and
- generating an activity display for the migration, wherein the activity display includes the set of modification attributes for at least one of the set of history records.
A method of managing inventory for a migration, the method comprising:
- obtaining a set of history records for the migration, wherein each history record in the set of history records comprises a plurality of modification attributes associated with a unique modification of a value of a migration variable;
- generating at least one hierarchical structure for categorizing the set of history records based on at least some of the plurality of modification attributes;
- and
- generating an activity display based on the at least one hierarchical structure.
A system for managing inventory for a migration, the system comprising:
- a system for obtaining a set of history records for a migration variable for at least one migration component, wherein each history record in the set of history records corresponds to a unique modification of a value of the migration variable and includes a set of modification attributes associated with the unique modification;
- and
- a system for generating an activity display for the migration, wherein the activity display includes the set of modification attributes for at least one of the set of history records.
A program product stored on a computer-readable medium, which when executed, manages inventory for a migration, the program product comprising:
- program code for obtaining a set of history records for a migration variable for at least one migration component, wherein each history record in the set of history records corresponds to a unique modification of a value of the migration variable and includes a set of modification attributes associated with the unique modification;
- and
- program code for generating an activity display for the migration, wherein the activity display includes the set of modification attributes for at least one of the set of history records.
