Adaptive methodology for updating solution building block architectures and designs

A system, comprising;

• a processor;
• a memory coupled to the processor;
• and
• logic, stored on the memory for execution on the processor, for:
• detecting a modification to an architecture of a first computing component stored in a building block repository;
• generating, based upon the modified architecture, a second computing component as a replacement to the first computing, component;
• storing the second computing component in the building block repository;
• correlating the first component to a third computing component incorporated into a solution architecture;
• and
• updating the solution architecture by replacing the third component with the second component.

A computer programming product comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• logic, stored on the memory for execution on a process, for:
• detecting a modification to an architecture of a first computing component stored in a building block repository;
• generating, based upon the modified architecture, a second computing component as a replacement to the first computing component;
• storing the second computing component in the building block repository;
• correlating the first component to a third computing component incorporated into a solution architecture;
• and
• updating the solution architecture by replacing the third component with the second component.

A method, comprising:

• detecting a modification to an architecture of a first computing component stored in a building block repository;
• generating, in response to the detection of the modification and based upon the modified architecture, a second computing component as a replacement to the first computing component;
• storing the second computing component in the building block repository;
• correlating the first component to a third computing component incorporated into a solution architecture;
• updating the solution architecture by replacing the third component with the second component;
• identifying a fourth component incorporated into the solution architecture that has a dependency on the third component;
• determining whether or not functionality of the fourth component is affected by the replacement of the third component;
• and
• if the dependency is affected, identifying a suitable replacement component for the fourth component to resolve the dependency;
• replacing the fourth component with the replacement component;
• analyzing metadata associated with the first and third components to determine any modification or correlation;
• and
• storing the updated solution architecture in a business solution repository.
