Managing incrementally applied system updates
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of updating a system including a plurality of sever instances comprising:
- determining a level of revision for each operating server instance;
adding one or more sets of operational features compatible with an operating server instance to the system based on a comparison indicating that the determined levels of revision of each of the other operating server instances of the system satisfy levels of revision required by each of the one or more sets of operational features; and
performing server operations of the operating server instances and applying the added one or more sets of operational features to the server operations.

Abstract
According to one embodiment of the present invention, a computer system updates a system including a plurality of sever instances, and includes at least one processor. The computer system determines a level of configuration for each operating server instance. One or more sets of operational features are added to the system based on a comparison between the determined levels of configuration of the operating server instances and minimum levels of configuration associated with the one or more sets of operational features. Server operations are performed and one or more corresponding sets of operational features are applied to the server operations in response to the addition of those corresponding sets of operational features to the system. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and computer program product for updating a system including a plurality of server instances in substantially the same manner described above.
