Abstract
The present subject mater relates computer system configuration and, more particularly, to system configuration comparison to identify process variation. Various embodiments described herein include one or more of systems, methods, software, and data structures to retrieve configuration information from a first system and a second system, apply a set of rules to the configuration information to identify process variants implemented in each of the first and second systems, and output a representation of process variant implementation differences between the first and second systems.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- extracting configuration information from a first system;
- extracting configuration information from a second system;
- applying an adaptation catalog to the configuration information extracted from both the first and second systems to identify configuration packages implemented on the first and second systems;
- comparing the identified configuration packages implemented on the first and second systems to identify differences;
- and
- generating and providing an output representative of the identified differences from the comparing.
A computer-readable medium, with instructions thereon, which when processed, cause a computer to:
- retrieve configuration information from a first system and a second system;
- apply a set of rules to the configuration information to identify process variants implemented in each of the first and second systems;
- and
- output a representation of process variant implementation differences between the first and second systems.
A system comprising:
- a network interface;
- a processor;
- a memory device including instructions stored thereon that are operable on the processor to cause the system to:
- retrieve, over the network interface, configuration information from a first system and a second system;
- apply a set of rules to the configuration information to identify process variants implemented in each of the first and second systems;
- and
- output a representation of process variant implementation differences between the first and second systems.
