Script generation engine and mapping semantic models for target platform

A method for generating an installation script for installing an application component to a specific target platform, the method comprising the steps of:

• retrieving a semantic model for the application component from a communicatively coupled repository of semantic models for interdependent ones of application components, the semantic model including a set of individual listings comprising a listing of component relationships and a listing of target platform requirements specifying a minimum requisite type and a level of resources required for operation of the application component on a target platform;
• determining from the listing of component relationships from the set of individual listings in said semantic model, a set of dependent components upon which the application component depends that are required to be present in the specific target platform;
• further determining from the listing of target platform requirements from the set of individual listings in said semantic model, a set of resource requirements required to be met by the specific target platform;
• computing a total anticipated consumption of the resources required for operation of the application component on the target platform;
• and,
• mapping said set of dependent components and said set of resource requirements into platform specific instructions in a platform specific installation script.

A non-transitory machine readable storage having stored thereon a computer program for generating an installation script for installing an application component to a specific target platform, the computer program comprising a routine set of instructions when executed cause the machine to perform the steps of:

• retrieving a semantic model for the application component from a communicatively coupled repository of semantic models for interdependent ones of application components, the semantic model including a set of individual listings comprising a listing of component relationships and a listing of target platform requirements specifying a minimum requisite type and a level of resources required for operation of the application component on a target platform;
• determining from the listing of component relationships from the set of individual listings in said semantic model, a set of dependent components upon which the application component depends that are required to be present in the specific target platform;
• further determining from the listing of target platform requirements from the set of individual listings in said semantic model, a set of resource requirements required to be met by the specific target platform;
• computing a total anticipated consumption of the resources required for operation of the application component on the target platform;
• and,
• mapping said set of dependent components and said set of resource requirements into platform specific instructions in a platform specific installation script.

A system for generating an installation script for installing an application component to a specific target platform, comprising:

• a computer having at least one processor and a memory, the computer comprising program code that when executed causes the at least one processor of the computer to:
• retrieve a semantic model for the application component from a communicatively coupled repository of semantic models for interdependent ones of application components, the semantic model including a set of individual listings comprising a listing of component relationships and a listing of target platform requirements specifying a minimum requisite type and a level of resources required for operation of the application component on a target platform,
• determine from the listing of component relationships from the set of individual listings in said semantic model, a set of dependent components upon which the application component depends that are required to be present in the specific target platform;
• further determine from the listing of target platform requirements from the set of individual listings in said semantic model, a set of resource requirements required to be met by the specific target platform,
• compute a total anticipated consumption of the resources required for operation of the application component on the target platform, and
• map said set of dependent components and said set of resource requirements into platform specific instructions in a platform specific installation script.
