Abstract
An apparatus is provided with a change management module adapted to manage making changes to a data processing device of a data processing environment.
Claims20
An automated method for facilitating management of a data processing environment comprising:
- learning of a submission of a request, in digital form, to make a change to a data processing device of the data processing environment;
- in response, determining whether to allow the requested change of the data processing device to be scheduled or assigned for implementation;
- and
- conditionally indicating allowance of the requested change of the data processing device to be scheduled or assigned for implementation, based at least in part on the result of said determining.
1 more element
An apparatus, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a change management module adapted to be operated by the processor, to learn of a submission of a request to make a change to a data processing device of a data processing environment, in response, determine whether to allow the requested change of the data processing device to be scheduled or assigned for implementation, and conditionally indicate allowance of the requested change of the data processing device to be scheduled or assigned for implementation, based at least in part on the result of said determining.
An automated method for facilitating management of a data processing environment comprising:
- generating a change report, in digital form, enumerating changes made to a data processing device of the data processing environment, based at least in part on a reference state of the data processing device;
- receiving an indication of approval of the enumerated changes;
- and
- in response, updating the reference state of the data processing device to include the enumerated changes.
1 more element
An apparatus, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a change management module adapted to be operated by the processor, to enable the apparatus to generating a change report enumerating changes made to a data processing device of a data processing environment, based at least in part on a reference state of the data processing device, receive an indication of approval of the enumerated changes, and in response, updating the reference state of the data processing device to include the enumerated changes.
