Customization conflict detection and resolution
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method for managing customization conflicts, comprising:
- receiving an indication of an automatically detected conflict, the conflict being caused by a metadata error created by a first customization of a core application, the metadata error being an inconsistency created when the first customization has caused a change to a static metadata component, the static metadata component being depended upon by a second customization of the core application, the first customization operating on a first computing device that is separate and distinct from a second computing device upon which the second customization operates;
utilizing a computer processor that is a component of the computer to identify, from a database of conflict corrections, a customization correction configured to remedy the conflict; and
transmitting, over a network, data related to the customization correction for processing to correct the metadata error.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method is disclosed for managing customization conflicts. The method includes receiving an indication of a conflict. The conflict is indicative of an error created by a customization of a core application. A customization correction is identified as a remedy for the customization conflict. The customization correction is transmitted over a network to a party affiliated with a system affected by the customization conflict.

7. A computer-implemented method for managing customization conflicts, the method comprising:
-
receiving an indication of an automatically detected runtime customization conflict, the runtime customization conflict being caused by an error that has occurred due to an inconsistency in runtime logic; utilizing a computer processor that is a component of the computer to identify, from a plurality of customizations of a core application operating on separate and distinct computing devices, a customization that is responsible for creating the automatically detected runtime customization conflict; and transmitting, over a network to an entity responsible for the identified customization, a collection of data related to the customization conflict.

8. A customization conflict management system, comprising:
-
a network-based service component that receives a remotely transmitted indication of a conflict, the conflict being caused by a metadata error created by a first customization of a core application, the metadata error being an inconsistency created when the first customization has caused a change to a static metadata component, the static metadata component being depended upon by a second customization of the core application, the first customization operating on a first computing device that is separate and distinct from a second computing device upon which the second customization operates; a database of conflict corrections; a computer processor that identifies, from the database of conflict corrections, a customization correction configured to remedy the conflict; and wherein the network-based service component transmits, over a network, a record of the customization correction for processing to correct the metadata error. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
