Configuration command template creation assistant using cross-model analysis to identify common syntax and semantics
First Claim
1. A computer program product for creating a configuration template for a set of devices, the computer program product comprising a computer readable device having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions readable/executable by a hardware processor to cause the processor to:
- separate, by the processor, existing syntactic models describing syntax from existing semantic models describing semantics prior to determining a command information;
determine, by the processor, the command information for a plurality of devices;
identify, by the processor, a command structure from the command information which is common to a set of devices from the plurality of devices; and
associate, by the processor, the set of devices to a common configuration template,wherein the program instructions readable/executable by the processor to cause the processor to determine, by the processor, command information for the plurality of devices are further readable/executable by the processor to cause the processor to;
retrieve one or more commands for each device;
extract command syntax, command inter-relationships, and parameter limitations for the one or more commands for each device; and
store the command syntax, the command inter-relationships, and the parameter limitations for the one or more commands for each device to a command index.

Abstract
In one embodiment, a computer program product for creating a configuration template for a set of devices includes a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith. The program instructions are readable/executable by a hardware processor to cause the processor to separate, by the processor, existing syntactic models describing syntax from existing semantic models describing semantics prior to determining a command information and determine, by the processor, the command information for a plurality of devices. The program instructions also cause the processor to identify, by the processor, a command structure from the command information which is common to a set of devices from the plurality of devices, and associate, by the processor, the set of devices to a common configuration template.

7. A computer program product, the computer program product comprising a computer readable device having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions readable/executable by a hardware processor to cause the processor to:
-
retrieve, by the processor, one or more commands for each device of a plurality of devices from existing syntactic and semantic models created for individual variants of devices; identify, by the processor, a command structure from the one or more commands which is common to a set of devices from the plurality of devices; associate, by the processor, the set of devices to a common configuration template; extract command syntax, command inter-relationships, and parameter limitations for the one or more commands for each device; and store the command syntax, the command inter-relationships, and the parameter limitations for the one or more commands for each device to a command index, wherein the program instructions readable/executable by the processor to cause the processor to identify, by the processor, the common command structure are further readable/executable by the processor to cause the processor to; store, by the processor, checksums for the command syntax for the one or more commands for each device to the command index; and compare, by the processor, the checksums in the command index to identify common entries in order to determine models which share one or more common commands. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)
