Abstract

Methods, computer systems and computer program products for service packages porting are provided. Aspects include a computer implemented method for a service package porting is provided. One or more processors provision a component of a first layer based on a plurality of component descriptions and build the service package on the first layer. Hence the one or more processors collect first log information that relates to build failures of the service package. According to another embodiment of the present invention, the method further comprises determine whether a build failure is related to the first layer based on the first log information and remove the component of the first layer if it is determined that the build failure is related to the first layer.

Claims

1. A computer implemented method for porting a service package, comprising:

provisioning, by one or more processors, a plurality of components of a first layer based on a plurality of component descriptions;

building, by the one or more processors, the service package on the first layer;

collecting, by the one or more processors, first log information that relates to build failures of the service package associated with at least one component of the plurality of components;

determining, by the one or more processors, whether a build failure is related to the first layer based on the first log information;

removing, by the one or more processors, the at least one component of the first layer if it is determined that the build failure is related to the first layer; and

keeping, by the one or more processors, the at least one component of the first layer if it is determined that the build failure is not related to the first layer;

provisioning, by the one or more processors, a plurality of components of a second layer on top of the first layer based on the plurality of component descriptions, wherein the second layer is on top of the first layer; and

wherein the first layer comprises one or more components from the plurality of components that were kept based on the build failure not being related to the first layer;

building, by the one or more processors, the service package on the second layer; and

collecting, by the one or more processors, second log information that relates to build failures of the service package.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

determining, by the one or more processors, whether a build failure is related to the second layer based on the second log information; and

removing, by the one or more processors, the component of the second layer if it is determined that the build failure is related to the second layer.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

determining, by the one or more processors, whether a build failure is related to the second layer based on the second log information; and

keeping, by the one or more processors, the component of the second layer if it is determined that the build failure is not related to the second layer.

4. A computer system for porting a service package, comprising:

one or more processors;

one or more computer readable media; and

program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable media for execution by at least one of the one or more processors, the program instructions comprising;

program instructions to provision a plurality of components of a first layer based on a plurality of component descriptions;

program instructions to build the service package on the first layer;

program instructions to collect first log information that relates to build failures of the service package associated with at least one component of the plurality of components;

program instructions to determine whether a build failure is related to the first layer based on the first log information;

program instructions to remove the at least one component of the first layer if it is determined that the build failure is related to the first layer;

program instructions to keep the component of the first layer if it is determined that the build failure is not related to the first layer;

program instructions to provision a component of a second layer on top of the first layer based on the plurality of component descriptions, wherein the second layer is on top of the first layer;

wherein the first layer comprises one or more components from the plurality of components that were kept based on the build failure not being related to the first layer;

program instructions to build the service package on the second layer; and

program instructions to collect second log information that relates to build failures of the service package.

5. The computer system of claim 4, wherein the program instructions further comprise:

program instructions to determine whether a build failure is related to the second layer based on the second log information; and

program instructions to remove the component of the second layer if it is determined that the build failure is related to the second layer.

6. The computer system of claim 4, wherein the program instructions further comprise:

program instructions to determine whether a build failure is related to the second layer based on the second log information; and

program instructions to keep the component of the second layer if it is determined that the build failure is not related to the second layer.

7. A computer program product for porting a service package, comprising:

a computer readable storage medium and program instructions stored on the computer readable storage medium, the program instructions comprising;

program instructions to provision a plurality of components of a first layer based on a plurality of component descriptions;

program instructions to build the service package on the first layer; and

program instructions to collect first log information that relates to build failures of the service package associated with at least one component of the plurality of components;

program instructions to determine whether a build failure is related to the first layer based on the first log information;

program instructions to remove the at least one component of the first layer if it is determined that the build failure is related to the first layer;

program instructions to keep the component of the first layer if it is determined that the build failure is not related to the first layer;

program instructions to provision a component of a second layer on top of the first layer based on the plurality of component descriptions, wherein the second layer is on top of the first layer;

wherein the first layer comprises one or more components from the plurality of components that were kept based on the build failure not being related to the first layer;

program instructions to build the service package on the second layer; and

program instructions to collect second log information that relates to build failures of the service package.

8. The computer program product of claim 7, wherein the program instructions further comprise:

program instructions to determine whether a build failure is related to the second layer based on the second log information; and

program instructions to remove the component of the second layer if it is determined that the build failure is related to the second layer.

9. The computer program product of claim 7, wherein the program instructions further comprise:

program instructions to determine whether a build failure is related to the second layer based on the second log information; and

program instructions to keep the component of the second layer if it is determined that the build failure is not related to the second layer.
