Method and computer system for effecting changes in a software system landscape

摘要

The invention concerns a method for effecting changes in a software system landscape with a plurality of logical software systems that are interconnected by logical transport paths, comprising the steps of: providing system role types, each system role being associated with one of a plurality of system role types; providing low level operational tasks associated to system role types; providing a transport track that defines a route through logical systems in a particular order and that specifies one source system, adjacent interconnected systems, and at least one target system; providing high level operational tasks in a software development system that define software changes; generating transport requests for transporting the software changes; and generating a low level operational task list for the logical systems affected by the changes to the software by: analyzing the transport track(s) and the system role types and selecting low level operational tasks associated with the system role types according to the high level operational tasks. The invention also concerns a corresponding computer system and a computer program product comprising on a storage medium a computer code that upon execution on a computer system performs the method.
