Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method, device, system, and program able to automatically optimize configuration values in software constituting an integrated system. The integrated system introduction support device collects from a configuration management database (CMDB) software configuration values related to other integrated systems sharing interactive aspects with the software constituting the target integrated system, and generates a regression model of configuration values having a high correlation among the collected software configuration values. When configuration values in a predetermined software program constituting the integrated system have been specified by the user, the integrated system introduction support device applies the specified configuration values to the regression model, and calculates an optimum value for the other software programs constituting the integrated system.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for optimizing configuration values in a plurality of software programs in an integrated system, the software programs in the integrated system interacting with each other via a network, the method comprising the steps of: collecting, from a configuration management database (CMDB) in the network, the configuration values in the plurality of software programs constituting the integrated system and other configuration values of software programs cons…
