Comparing system engram with product engram to determine compatibility of product with system
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving a system engram encoding an existing configuration of a target system, the existing configuration including one or more of hardware and software of the target system, the system engram originally acquired by a first processing device and received by a second processing device;
comparing, by the second processing device, the system engram with a product engram, the product engram encoding a required configuration of the target system for a product to be compatibly installed in relation to the target system, the required configuration including one or more of required hardware and required software within the target system for the product to be compatibly installed in relation to the target system; and
,outputting, as compatibility information of the product with the target system, results of comparison of the system engram with the product engram, by the second processing device.

Abstract
A system engram encoding an existing configuration of a target system is received. The existing configuration includes one or more of hardware and software of the target system. The system engram is originally acquired by a first processing device and is received by a second processing device. The second processing device compares the system engram with a product engram encoding a required configuration of the target system for a product to be compatibly installed in relation to the target system. The required configuration includes one or more of required hardware and required software within the target system for the product to be compatibly installed in relation to the target system. The second processing device can output, as compatibility information of the product with the target system, results of comparison of the system engram with the product engram.

10. A system comprising:
-
a processor; a computer-readable medium to store a computer program executable by the processor; and
,a receiving component to receive a system engram encoding an existing configuration of a target system, the existing configuration including one or more of hardware and software of the target system, the system engram originally acquired by a processing device, wherein the computer program is to compare the system engram with a product engram, the product engram encoding a required configuring of the target system for a product to be compatibly installed in relation to the target system, the required configuration including one or more of required hardware and required software within the target system for the product to be compatibly installed in relation to the target system. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
