US 2025/0060960 A1 · ADAPTING SCRIPTS FROM A SOURCE PLATFORM TO BE UTILIZED IN A TARGET PLATFORM

Abstract

A computer-implemented method, system, and computer program product for adapting scripts from a source platform to be utilized in a target platform when porting. Traces of system calls from the commands in the source and target platforms are analyzed to identify building blocks. A tree structure for each command of the source and target platforms is constructed with one or more building blocks from the identified building blocks. Commands of the target platform with a functionality within a threshold degree of similarity to the commands of the source platform are identified by analyzing the building blocks of the commands' tree structures. Alternative commands for the commands of the source platform, such as those commands that are not supported by the target platform, may be generated using such identified commands. The script from the source platform may then be adapted to be utilized in the target platform using such alternative commands.
