RESOURCE CONFIGURATION MIGRATION AND IMPLEMENTATION UTILIZING MULTIPLE BRANCHES

Abstract:

The invention relates to a configuration implementation system that allows users to maintain configurations for production resources (e.g., application, systems, or the like) in a main configuration table, and multiple versions of the configurations in branch configuration tables in order to deploy and test the branch configurations independently of each other based on implementation schedules. Moreover, the configurations in the configuration branches can be implemented in various releases for the production resource as necessary and merged into the other branches in order to maintain consistency with the production resource and to identify any discrepancies between the configuration branches. The invention also utilizes script patterns to create scripts to implement the configuration changes in the production resources un a uniform way regardless of the user that is creating, modifying, deploying, testing, and/or implementing the configurations through the various branches.
