摘要:
The present invention provides a method, system, and computer program product for the on-demand creation and distribution of customized dynamic contracts. At least one business opportunity is extracted from an opportunity database. For each extracted business opportunity, a credit score for a customer associated with the extracted business opportunity is obtained and a dynamically modifiable contract for the extracted business opportunity is generated. The dynamically modifiable contract is distributed to a contact associated with the extracted business opportunity, who presents the dynamically modifiable contract to the customer associated with the extracted business opportunity. The contact can modify the dynamically modifiable contract, if necessary, during negotiations with the customer, to provide a contract that is acceptable to the contact and the customer.

A method and system for updating a database structure. The database structure includes a dynamically changing list of control documents. A control document specifies tasks to be performed on the database structure. An agent finds an approved control document on the list such as by looking into a view of control documents. Processing the approved control document includes causing an execution of at least one task on the approved control document. Execution of a such task includes updating of the database structure, and may be implemented by the agent that found the control document or by another agent called by the agent.

Under the present invention, information pertaining to an existing network topology is imported into a migration database. This information typically comprises information about devices in the existing network topology, existing network addresses for the devices, whether each device has a static or a dynamic address, information about locations of the devices, and information about users of the devices. In addition, information pertaining to a new network topology is received in the migration database. This type of information typically comprises new network addresses or ranges of addresses for the devices, network port identifiers, connections to specific closets, racks, and switches, and whether each device requires a static or a dynamic address. Regardless, the information provided will then be sorted according a set of database views, which can then be provided to viewers.

A system and method for controlling access to an ACL list protected database. Each of one or more access control documents includes a start time or an end time, and a start access control list or an end access control list. An access control agent permits access to the database after the start time by reference to the start access control list and after the end time by reference to the end access control list.

A method and computer system for generating and maintaining database instances. A template manager creates the template for generating the instances based on design information, stores the template in a template manager database, generates N instances (N≧2) based on the template and on control information for the N instances, stores the N instances in the template manager database, and transmits the N instances to corresponding N locations. The control information includes access control information and configuration control information that includes identification of N locations corresponding to the N instances. The template manager refreshes the template based on update design information, refreshes the N instances based on the refreshed template, and transmits the N refreshed instances to the corresponding N locations. The template manager may refresh M of the N instances (M≦N), based on update control information, and transmit the M refreshed instances to the corresponding M locations.

Disclosed are a method of and system for enterprise-wide migration. The method comprises the steps of creating instances of databases for a migration, for billing and reporting, and repositing reports; gathering information on the organization, location, hardware, and software affected by said migration into a database for planning said migration; and building an inventory of the affected hardware and software using an inventory tracking tool or an inventory mailer. Migration hardware and software is ordered based on said planning and said inventory, using an inventory tool; and labor, hardware, and software as installed are tracked and billed, using said billing and reporting database. Agents for said creating, gathering, building and tracking are enabled using an agent control facility.

Under the present invention, an initial distribution list of electronic message recipients within an organization undergoing an IT migration is generated using a personnel directory of the organization and at least one selection criterion. Once initial electronic message recipients are known, messages will be generated and sent using information from a mailing database and a designated schedule. User records for each of the initial electronic message recipients will be created in an inventory database and will include user information from the personnel directory as well as message information. Based on responses to the initial electronic message, follow-up and final electronic messages can be sent to respective distribution lists, and corresponding information stored in the user records of the inventory database.

The present invention provides a method and system for transferring data between server systems. Specifically, the present invention provides a method and system for locating and importing data stored on a source server system in a first file format to a staging server system. Once imported to the staging server system, the data is processed (e.g., parsed, edited, and translated). After processing, the data is formatted into a second file format and then exported to a destination server system. Thus, the present invention allows data stored on a source server system in a first file format to be transferred to a destination server system in a second file format.

Disclosed are a method, system and computer program for collecting inventory data about a group of machines at an office. This method comprises the steps of running an inventory tool on each of the machines, and the tool presenting dialog displays on each of the machines, filling in or changing data in the dialogs presented by the tool, and submitting the collected information to a server. Also disclosed are a method, system and computer program for customizing an inventory data collection tool for a plurality of logical groups of users. Each of the logical groups of users is provided with a copy of the inventory data collection tool and with a first copy of a common control file. Each of the groups of users uses the first copy of the common control file to customize the tool for the group of users.
