    摘要: Methods, apparatus and computer program products decompose a service process into service process operations; filter the service operations based on at least one pre-determined criterion; identify at least one different service process operation to be used to replace an existing service process operation; and replace the existing service process operation with the at least one different service process operation. The service process can be decomposed using specific service features derived from reference service processes. The pre-determined criterion used to filter the service operations can constitute a service level; a service category; or a service process feature. A service process feature describes core functionality of the service.

    摘要: Disclosed is a computer-implemented method, system and computer program(s) for migration of a source machine instance to a target machine instance of least one heterogeneous virtual server device managed within a cloud computing environment. The method includes discovering machine images of a cloud service provider and storing results in a computer-readable catalog containing cloud metadata comprised of machine image identifiers and information discovered about the machine images. The method further includes, in response to a request for migration document in a computer-readable form that comprises a specification of a required migration target machine instance, specifying weight/priority information for components to be included in the target machine instance, where the weight information indicates weights for operations comprising component installation, component removal and component upgrade in the target machine instance. The method also includes executing a best fit matching algorithm to examine the catalog in accordance with the weight/priority information to identify optimal machine images to be used for the migration of the source machine instance to the target machine instance.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method, system and a computer program for correlating an incident service ticket with an incident resource ticket. The method includes, in response to a creation of an incident service ticket in a certain service category; searching with a data processor for open incident resource tickets of the same or similar category; searching with the data processor based on a set of similarity rules for corresponding critical configuration items defined in business service configuration items and, if both searches succeed, searching with the data processor found incident resource tickets ordered by time using found critical configuration items and, if a match is found, declaring the incident service ticket to be correlated with the matching incident resource ticket. The exemplary embodiments further provide that, if both searches do not succeed, or if a match is not found, obtaining input from a dependency tree for the business service configuration items and if no related service configuration items for the service category are identified then concluding the performance of the method, otherwise searching with the data processor found incident resource tickets ordered by time using found related service configuration items. If no associated resource tickets are available then the method performs constraint adaptive probing of resources determined from the dependency tree to attempt to generate at least one corresponding resource ticket, and to search on any corresponding resource tickets that are generated for related configuration items.

    摘要: A method for facilitating compliance testing in an information technology (IT) environment is provided. The method includes defining each IT component of an enterprise as a set of attribute value pairs represented as a configuration item (CI) and defining relationships among the CIs. Configuration Standards for the CIs are defined to include scope identifying CIs to which the Configuration Standards apply and restrictions defining requirements for compliance.
