Automating A Governance Process Of Creating A New Version Of A Service In A Governed SOA
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of automating a governance process of creating a new version of a service in a governed Service Oriented Architecture (‘
- SOA’
), the method comprising;
modeling the governance process of creating a new version of a service in the governed SOA, the modeled governance process comprising;
reviewing requested updates to a deployed service;
determining, in dependence upon the requested updates and a specification of a present version of the deployed service, whether a new version of the deployed service is required;
if a new version of the deployed service is required, determining whether the present version of the deployed service will be subsumed by the new version; and
if the present version of the deployed service will be subsumed by the new version, retiring the present version of the deployed service; and
generating, in dependence upon the modeled governance process, one or more automation modules, each automation module comprising a module of computer program instructions that, when executed by a computer processor, supports performance of one or more steps of the modeled governance process.

Abstract
Modeling a governance process of creating a new version of a service in a governed SOA and generating, in dependence upon the modeled governance process, automation modules that include modules of computer program instructions that, when executed by a computer processor, support performance of one or more steps of the modeled governance process and where the modeled governance process includes reviewing requested updates to a deployed service; determining, in dependence upon the requested updates and a specification of a present version of the deployed service, whether a new version of the deployed service is required; if a new version of the deployed service is required, determining whether the present version of the deployed service will be subsumed by the new version; and if the present version of the deployed service will be subsumed by the new version, retiring the present version of the deployed service.

14. The computer program product of claim 14, wherein the modeled governance process further comprises:
-
if the present version of the deployed service will not be subsumed by the new version; logging the new version in a registry and repository; requesting a service identifier for the new version of the service; entering service classification information in the registry and repository, the service classification information describing a sector for the new version of the deployed service, a service type for the new version of the deployed service, and a target certification level for the new version of the deployed service; updating specification modeling service artifacts and realization modeling service artifacts of the deployed service; refactoring and rationalizing the deployed service; and certifying the new version of the deployed service. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
