Abstract
A business software customer deploying both on-premises and cloud-based applications can be provided with an automatically-generated, customer-tailored release master plan for a hybrid networked business solution that can include specific information and instructions tailored to the business software customer's customer-specific system landscape.
Claims19
A computer program product comprising a machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one programmable processor, cause the at least one programmable processor to perform operations comprising:
- accessing common release master plan information for a cloud-based application purchased by a business software customer from a service provider cockpit of a service provider of the cloud-based application;
- reading, from a customer-specific system landscape directory, information characterizing an on-premises application of the business software customer;
- generating, based at least on the common release master plan, the information characterizing the on-premises application of the business software customer, and a release master plan management object model, a customer-tailored release master plan for a hybrid networked business solution for the business software customer;
- and
- providing, for use by a user at the business software customer, the customer-tailored release master plan as an interactive document comprising preparation steps to be performed to enable a new feature of the hybrid networked business solution.
A system comprising computer hardware configured to perform operations comprising:
- accessing common release master plan information for a cloud-based application purchased by a business software customer from a service provider cockpit of a service provider of the cloud-based application;
- reading, from a customer-specific system landscape directory, information characterizing an on-premises application of the business software customer;
- generating, based at least on the common release master plan, the information characterizing the on-premises application of the business software customer, and a release master plan management object model, a customer-tailored release master plan for a hybrid networked business solution for the business software customer;
- and
- providing, for use by a user at the business software customer, the customer-tailored release master plan as an interactive document comprising preparation steps to be performed to enable a new feature of the hybrid networked business solution.
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- accessing common release master plan information for a cloud-based application purchased by a business software customer from a service provider cockpit of a service provider of the cloud-based application;
- reading, from a customer-specific system landscape directory, information characterizing an on-premises application of the business software customer;
- generating, based at least on the common release master plan, the information characterizing the on-premises application of the business software customer, and a release master plan management object model, a customer-tailored release master plan for a hybrid networked business solution for the business software customer;
- and
- providing, for use by a user at the business software customer, the customer-tailored release master plan as an interactive document comprising preparation steps to be performed to enable a new feature of the hybrid networked business solution.
