For efficient deployment of thin client applications to an end user, an apparatus for efficient deployment of thin client applications to an end user is disclosed. A method and computer program product also perform the functions of the apparatus. The apparatus, in one embodiment, includes a processor and a memory that stores code executable by the processor, wherein the code identifies, on a server, a first file package for a thin client application, the first file corresponding to a current version of the thin client application, receives identifying information for a second file package stored on a local device, compares the first file package to the second file package, and determines a minimum set of updates needed to transform the second file package into a copy of the first file package, in response to the first file package differing from the second file package.

A PC determines whether or not firmware (a first firmware), which has already been downloaded to an image forming apparatus, is present, and, when the first firmware is present on the image forming apparatus, acquires information about the first firmware and information about a second firmware that matches the image forming apparatus. When the application of second firmware to the image forming apparatus is selected, the PC acquires a difference package corresponding to the difference between first firmware and second firmware based on information about first and second firmware, and applies a difference package and first firmware to the image forming apparatus.

A method, computer program product, and system for updating a computer system may include collecting data describing usage characteristics on a customer computer system. Available updates may be stored on a support system together with one or more relevant rules. A recommendation engine may be used to analyze the data describing usage characteristics and to recommend one or more changes based on evaluation of one or more relevant rules for each available update. Changes having one or more attributes and one or more successor relationships to recommend for installation in the computer system may be selected.

A software update method and apparatus for a mobile terminal is provided. A delta generating server determines a plurality of available update versions for a currently installed version of a target software of the mobile terminal and transmits available update version information indicating available update versions to the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal receives the available update version information from the delta generating server and displays the available update version information. When one of the update versions is selected, a delta file for updating the target software to the selected version is generated by the delta generating server and is downloaded to the mobile terminal.
摘要:
A system and method for a block based differencing algorithm which includes the ability to limit memory requirements regardless of source file sizes by splitting the source file into optimally sized blocks. The invention allows the blocks to be processed in any order allowing in-place operation. Further, the present invention allows a second stage compressor to match the compressor blocks to those used by the differencing algorithm to optimize compressor and decompressor performance.

A compatibility tool can certify compliance between software packages managers, used by or known to a user, and software packages to be updated or installed on a computing system. Additionally, the compatibility tool can identify a software package manager that is compatible with the software packages to be updated or installed, if the user does not have or know of a compatible software package manager. To certify software package managers or identify compatible software package managers, the compatibility tool can maintain a database of software package managers associated with software packages that are compatible with the software package managers.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for configuring an element management system server (an EMS server) to support new network element service application versions without upgrading the EMS server software is provided. The EMS stores base version data that describes the data model of a first version of a service application installed on a network element. When a second version of the service application is available, incremental version data describing changes to the data model from the first version to the second version is obtained and stored. In response to receiving a client request involving a service application on a particular network element, the EMS may apply incremental version data, associated with the version of the service application installed on the particular network element, to the base version data to form merged version data that describes the data model of the version of the service application installed on the particular network element.

A system for automation of processes in a working environment to achieve targeted deliverables, said system comprising: mapping means adapted to map discrete processes in a working environment; reader means adapted to read human instructions in relation to targeted deliverables at mapped discrete processes; interpreter means adapted to interpret said read instructions into a machine readable instruction format; compiler means adapted to compile said machine readable instruction format into a pre-defined operating system executable instruction format; packager means adapted to classify and package said operating system executable instruction format in a pre-defined format; and installer means adapted to install and deploy said packaged format in said working environment to complete the automation process and achieve targeted deliverables.
摘要:
Described is installing multiple software packages to a computing device in a single transaction, whereby the multiple package installation commits if successful, or the device is rolled back to a determined state if unsuccessful. A client process provides a system service (installer) with a package, and the service partitions package installation actions into execution, commit and rollback phases, with the execution phase run for each package. If successful, the transaction is committed by performing the multiple commit phases. If unsuccessful, the installation is rolled back via the rollback phases. The phases may be interleaved, with execution and commit phases performed in FIFO order, and rollback phases performed in LIFO order. A client process may dynamically determine which packages to install, a client process may be embedded in a package and join the transaction, and/or one client process may delegate control to another client to add package actions to the transaction.
