ASSISTING SERVER MIGRATION
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for preparing a migration and consolidation of at least one source application to be migrated to or consolidated in at least one heterogeneous server device, the method comprising:
- selecting at least one prospective target platform component based on one or more of;
an evaluation of at least one source platform component and a requirement of the at least one source application, wherein the source platform component referring to an individual dependency that the at least one source application has upon hardware, software or at least one attribute of the hardware and software, the prospective target platform component referring to an individual software, hardware or attributes of the individual software and hardware to be provisioned for the at least one server device;
collecting first metadata of the at least one source platform component and the at least one prospective target platform component;
collecting second metadata associated with the migration and consolidation; and
preparing and configuring a final target platform based on the first metadata and the second metadata, the final target platform referring to a sum of dependencies a final target application has upon hardware or software, the final target application referring to an application that exists after the migration and consolidation.

Abstract
The present invention describes a method and system for preparing a migration and consolidation of at least one source application to be migrated to or consolidated in at least one heterogeneous server device. A computing system selects at least one prospective target platform component based on an evaluation of at least one source platform component, a requirement of the at least one source application, and a compatibility and an affinity of the at least one prospective target platform component. The computing system collects first metadata of the at least one source platform component and the at least one prospective target platform component. The computing system collects second metadata associated with the migration and consolidation. The computing system groups the first metadata and the second metadata into a RFM (Request For Migration). The computing system prepares and configures a final target platform in accordance with the RFM.

13. A computer-implemented system for preparing a migration and consolidation of at least one source application to be migrated to or consolidated in at least one heterogeneous server device, the system comprising:
-
a memory device; and a processor unit in communication with the memory device, the processor unit performs steps of; selecting at least one prospective target platform component based on one or more of;
an evaluation of at least one source platform component and a requirement of the at least one source application, wherein the source platform component referring to an individual dependency that the at least one source application has upon hardware, software or at least one attribute of the hardware and software, the prospective target platform component referring to an individual software, hardware or attributes of the individual software and hardware to be provisioned for the at least one server device;collecting first metadata of the at least one source platform component and the at least one prospective target platform component; collecting second metadata associated with the migration and consolidation; and preparing and configuring a final target platform data structure based on the first metadata and the second metadata, the final target platform referring to a sum of dependencies a final target application has upon hardware or software, the final target application referring to an application that exists after the migration and consolidation. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
