Abstract
A system for and method of automatically enforcing a configuration change process for change requests of one or more configurable element within one or more configurable computation systems. The system comprises means for managing a configuration change process for one or more configurable elements within a corresponding configurable computation system, means for generation a configuration request, means for applying a set of authorization rules to the configuration change requests to generate selective authorization of the CEs, and means for selectively locking and unlocking changes to configurable elements within the configurable computational systems.

26. A method comprising:
-
managing a configuration change process for one or more configurable elements (CEs) within a corresponding at least one configurable computation system (CCS); generating a configuration change request; applying one or more authorization rules to a configuration change request to generate a selective configuration change authorization of the one or more CEs; and locking configuration changes in the at least one CCS, wherein the locking can selectively enable configuration changes to the one or more CEs based on the selective configuration change authorization. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)

37. Logic encoded in non-transitory media that includes instructions for execution and when executed by a processor, is operable to perform operations comprising:
-
managing a configuration change process for one or more CEs within a corresponding at least one CCS; generating a configuration change request; applying one or more authorization rules to a configuration change request to generate a selective configuration change authorization of the one or more CEs; and locking configuration changes in the at least one CCS, wherein the locking can selectively enable configuration changes to the one or more CEs based on the selective configuration change authorization. - View Dependent Claims (38, 39, 40, 41)

42. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a memory element for storing data; and a processor that executes instructions associated with the data, wherein the processor and the memory element cooperate, such that the apparatus is configured for; managing a configuration change process for one or more CEs within a corresponding at least one CCS; generating a configuration change request; applying one or more authorization rules to a configuration change request to generate a selective configuration change authorization of the one or more CEs; and locking configuration changes in the at least one CCS, wherein the locking can selectively enable configuration changes to the one or more CEs based on the selective configuration change authorization. - View Dependent Claims (43, 44, 45)
