First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- interacting, by a human, with a first computer system executing a provisioning program and thereby making a first request for a service catalog that indicates a plurality of services of the provisioning program;
selecting a service from the service catalog and thereby making a first request for a schema that defines one or more actions associated with a selected service;
selecting an action associated with the selected service;
generating a first electronic form based on the schema;
providing, by the human, at least some of the information requested in the first electronic form; and
performing an action by the provisioning program on one or more provisioning end points based on the information in the first electronic form.

8. A computer-readable storage medium storing a program that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to:
-
make a request for a service catalog that defines a plurality of services a provisioning program is configured to perform; request a first schema being a schema for at least one service selected by a user; receive the first schema that defines, at least in part, information used by a provisioning program to perform provisioning with respect to one or more provisioning end points; generate a first electronic form based on, and after receiving, the first schema; receive information requested in the first electronic form regarding a first provisioning request; and send the information to the provisioning program. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10)

11. A computer-readable storage media storing a program that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to:
-
receive a request from a client program for a service catalog that defines, at least in part, services a provisioning program is configured to perform with respect to one or more target programs, and send the service catalog to the client program; receive a request from the client program for a schema associated with a selected service, and send the schema to the client program; receive an electronic form regarding a first provisioning request, the electronic form comprising data; and perform provisioning of one or more provisioning end points based on the data. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)
