METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATED COMPONENT PRODUCT INTEGRATION
First Claim
1. A method for performing a component product integration sync, comprising:
- generating a component product extensible markup language (XML) schema;
identifying a number of component products to be integrated together in a software system;
generating a component product XML file for each identified component product according to the generated component product XML schema; and
using the generated component product XML files to verify compatibility of the identified component products when integrated together in the software system.

Abstract
A method is provided for performing a component product integration sync. In the method, a component product extensible markup language (XML) schema is generated. A number of component products to be integrated together in a software system are then identified. A component product XML file is generated for each identified component product according to the generated component product XML schema. The generated component product XML files are used to verify compatibility of the identified component products when integrated together in the software system. Once compatibility of the identified component products is verified, the software system can be built with a high expectation of success.

12. A method for generating a component product extensible markup language (XML) file to be used in performing a component product integration sync, comprising:
-
(a) identifying a component product for which a component product XML file is to be generated;
(b) reading a tag in a component product XML schema;
(c) identifying the tag read in operation (b) as representing an executor tag;
(d) in response to operation (c), running an executor specified by the executor tag to retrieve data from an install unit associated with the component product;
(e) in response to operation (d), storing the retrieved data in the component product XML file;
(f) identifying the tag read in operation (b) as representing a static data tag;
(g) in response to operation (f), retrieving static data associated with the static data tag from a static data source;
(h) in response to operation (g), storing the retrieved static data in the component product XML file; and
(i) repeating operations (b) through (h) until each tag instance in the component product XML schema has been read once and in a sequential manner beginning with a first tag present in the component product XML schema. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A computer readable medium including program instructions for performing a component product integration sync, comprising:
-
program instructions for obtaining a component product extensible markup language (XML) schema;
program instructions for obtaining a respective identifier for a number of component products to be integrated;
program instructions for generating a component product XML file for each identified component product to be integrated, wherein the component product XML file is to be generated according to the obtained component product XML schema; and
program instructions for verifying compatibility of the identified component products when integrated together to form a system, wherein the compatibility is verified using the generated component product XML files. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
