APPLICATION UPGRADE FEASIBILITY AND SUPPORT
First Claim
1. A method for application upgrade feasibility and reporting, the method comprising:
- generating in memory of a computing system a deployment characterization of a customized instance of a computer program designated to receive an upgrade;
comparing the deployment characterization to a selection of known characterizations of deployment of different customized instances of the computer program, each of the characterization having an association with an upgrade feasibility predictor for the upgrade;
identifying a matching one of the known characterizations for the generated deployment characterization; and
,displaying a report on a display of the computing system including an upgrade feasibility predictor corresponding to the matching one of the known characterization.

Abstract
Embodiments of the invention provide a method, system and computer program product for upgrade feasibility and reporting. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for application upgrade feasibility and reporting includes generating in memory of a computing system a deployment characterization of a customized instance of a computer program designated to receive an upgrade. The method also includes comparing the deployment characterization to a selection of known characterizations of deployment of different customized instances of the computer program, each of the characterization having an association with an upgrade feasibility predictor for the upgrade. The method yet further includes identifying a matching one of the known characterizations for the generated deployment characterization. Finally, the method includes displaying a report on a display of the computing system including an upgrade feasibility predictor corresponding to the matching one of the known characterization.

7. An application deployment data processing system configured for application upgrade feasibility and reporting, the system comprising:
-
a host computing system comprising at least one computer with memory and at least one processor; a data store coupled to the host computing system; a customized instance of a computer program comprising a plurality of components stored in the data store; and
,an upgrade feasibility module executing in the memory of the host computing system, the module comprising program code enabled upon execution by the at least one processor to generate in the memory a deployment characterization of the customized instance of the computer program designated to receive an upgrade, to compare the deployment characterization to a selection of known characterizations of deployment of different customized instances of the computer program stored in the data store, each of the characterization having an association with an upgrade feasibility predictor for the upgrade, to identify a matching one of the known characterizations for the generated deployment characterization and to display a report on a display of the host computing system including an upgrade feasibility predictor corresponding to the matching one of the known characterization. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A computer program product for application upgrade feasibility and reporting, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a device to cause the device to perform a method comprising:
-
generating by a device in memory of a computing system a deployment characterization of a customized instance of a computer program designated to receive an upgrade; comparing by the device the deployment characterization to a selection of known characterizations of deployment of different customized instances of the computer program, each of the characterization having an association with an upgrade feasibility predictor for the upgrade; identifying by the device a matching one of the known characterizations for the generated deployment characterization; and
,displaying by the device a report on a display of the computing system including an upgrade feasibility predictor corresponding to the matching one of the known characterization. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
