Abstract
A first computing entity receives a respective set of software discovery rules from each of a plurality of other computing entities. Based on each of the sets of software discovery rules, a set of software discovery rules associated with the first computing entity is modified. The modified set of software discovery rules is communicated to each of the plurality of other computing entities.
Claims21
A method of software catalog information management, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a first computing entity, a respective set of software discovery rules from each of a plurality of other computing entities;
- modifying, based on each of the sets of software discovery rules, a set of software discovery rules associated with the first computing entity;
- and
- communicating the modified set of software discovery rules to each of the plurality of other computing entities.
A system for software catalog information management, the system comprising a first computing entity, wherein the first computing entity is coupled to plurality of other computing entities, and wherein the first computing entity comprises:
