Abstract
A system and method is provided for managing verification of configuration item changes. Discovered configuration data associated with a configuration item may be received. A determination may be made regarding whether a change order for the configuration item exists. A determination may be made regarding whether the change order is in a “verification in progress” state. When the change order is in the “verification in progress” state, alignment of the discovered configuration data with the change order may be determined and a verification policy may be determined based on the determined alignment.
Claims20
A method for managing verification of configuration item changes, the method comprising:
- receiving discovered configuration data associated with a configuration item;
- determining whether a change order exists for the configuration item;
- when a change order exists for the configuration item, determining whether the change order is in a verification in progress state;
- when the change order is in the verification in progress state, determining alignment of the discovered configuration data with the change order, wherein said determining the alignment further comprises determining whether a variance exists between the discovered configuration data and the change order;
- and
- determining a verification policy based on the determined alignment.
A system for managing verification of configuration item changes, the system comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- receive discovered configuration data associated with a configuration item;
- determine whether a change order exists for the configuration item;
- when a change order exists for the configuration item, determine whether the change order is in a verification in progress state;
- when the change order is in the verification in progress state, determine alignment of the discovered configuration data with the change order, wherein the processor configured to determine the alignment is further configured to determine whether a variance exists between the discovered configuration data and the change order;
- and
- determine a verification policy based on the determined alignment.
A computer program product comprising:
- a computer-readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, the computer readable program code comprising:
- a computer readable program code configured to receive discovered configuration data associated with a configuration item;
- a computer readable program code configured to determine whether a change order exists for the configuration item;
- a computer readable program code configured to determine whether the change order is in a verification in progress state when a change order exists for the configuration item;
- a computer readable program code configured to determine alignment of the discovered configuration data with the change order when the change order is in the verification in progress state, wherein said computer readable program code is further configured to determine whether a variance exists between the discovered configuration data and the change order
- a computer readable program code configured to determine a verification policy based on the determined alignment.
