Capability dependency management in multiservice framework

Abstract

Dependency compliance features for assessing software dependencies in a host information handling system and remediating dependency non-compliance exceptions are disclosed. Disclosed methods and systems obtain a platform capability manifest (PCM) including capability information for each of one or more supported capabilities and identify at least one enabled capability. The enabled capability may correspond to a software service installed and enabled on the host. A dependency compliance of the host is evaluated based, at least in part, on dependency information included in the PCM. If a dependency non-compliance is detected, the enabled capability may leverage the multiservice framework to remediate the applicable service to achieve dependency compliance. Dependency compliance may include version compliance wherein the dependency information may include version criteria for each software library and/or version criteria for the enabled software service.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
