Abstract
A component connect facility is provided which generates a list of components which can operatively connect to a product, and obtains an identification of a selected component in the list of components. The selected component connects to the product via an associated connector. The facility further initiates creating a dummy connector replicating, at least in part, the associated connector, where the dummy connector facilitates test connecting to the product.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- generating a list of components which can operatively connect to a product;
- obtaining identification of a selected component in the list of components, the selected component connecting to the product via an associated connector;
- and
- initiating creating a dummy connector replicating, at least in part, the associated connector, the dummy connector facilitating test connecting to the product.
A computer system comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- at least one processor in communication with the memory, wherein the computer system is configured to perform a method, the method comprising:
- generating a list of components which can operatively connect to a product;
- obtaining identification of a selected component in the list of components, the selected component connecting to the product via an associated connector;
- and
- initiating creating a dummy connector replicating, at least in part, the associated connector, the dummy connector facilitating test connecting to the product.
A computer program product comprising:
- one or more computer readable storage media and program instructions collectively stored on the one or more computer readable storage media readable by at least one processer to:
- generate a list of components which can operatively connect to a product;
- obtain identification of a selected component in the list of components, the selected component connecting to the product via an associated connector;
- and
- initiate creating a dummy connector replicating, at least in part, the associated connector, the dummy connector facilitating test connecting to the product.
