ABSTRACT:
In a process for ensuring compatibility of components in a system, system components are defined and relationships between two or more system components identified. From relationships between components, inter-relationships between these identified relationships and possibly other components are determined. By validating integrity of either or both of the identified relationship and determined inter-relationship and, based on a validating result, ensuring integrity of the identified relationship or determined inter-relationship, compatibility of the components in the system is ensured. This process is particularly useful in eliminating incompatibilities between resident and migrational software in an automated computer system.
