Abstract
Abstract A system, method and article of manufacture are provided for managing an environment in a development architecture framework. Service of a system is managed based on service level agreements and/or operations level agreements. A plurality of system management operations are performed. The system management operations include start-up and shut-down operations, back-up and restore operations, archiving operations, security operations, and performance monitoring operations. Service is planned in order to anticipate and implement changes in the system.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 18
Claim 1
Independent Claim
101 words
A method for managing a development environment in a development architecture framework comprising the steps of: (a) managing service to a developer of the development environment based on at least one of service level agreements with the developer and operations level agreements with the developer; (b) performing a plurality of system management operations on the development environment selected from the group of system management operations consisting of start-up and shut-down operations, back-up and restore operations, archiving operations, security operations, and performance monitoring operations; and (c) planning service to the developer in order to anticipate and implement changes in the development environment.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
101 words
A method for managing a development environment in a development architecture framework comprising the steps of: (a) managing service to a developer of the development environment based on at least one of service level agreements with the developer and operations level agreements with the developer; (b) performing a plurality of system management operations on the development environment selected from the group of system management operations consisting of start-up and shut-down operations, back-up and restore operations, archiving operations, security operations, and performance monitoring operations; and (c) planning service to the developer in order to anticipate and implement changes in the development environment.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
36 words
A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the step of planning service to a developer is carried out by service planning tools including at least one of performance modeling tools and capacity modeling tools.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the start-up and shut-down operations are performed with the start-up and shut-down operations being automated.

Claim 7
Dependent Claim
116 words
A computer program embodied on a computer readable medium for a development environment in a development architecture framework comprising: (a) a code segment that manages service to a developer of the development environment based on at least one of service level agreements with the developer and operations level agreements with the developer; (b) a code segment that performs a plurality of system management operations on the development environment selected from the group of system management operations consisting of start-up and shut-down operations, back-up and restore operations, archiving operations, security operations, and performance monitoring operations; and (c) a code segment that plans service to a developer in order to anticipate and implement changes in the development environment.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
116 words
A computer program embodied on a computer readable medium for a development environment in a development architecture framework comprising: (a) a code segment that manages service to a developer of the development environment based on at least one of service level agreements with the developer and operations level agreements with the developer; (b) a code segment that performs a plurality of system management operations on the development environment selected from the group of system management operations consisting of start-up and shut-down operations, back-up and restore operations, archiving operations, security operations, and performance monitoring operations; and (c) a code segment that plans service to a developer in order to anticipate and implement changes in the development environment.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
38 words
A computer program as recited in claim 6 , wherein the code segment that plans service to a developer is carried out by service planning tools including at least one of performance modeling tools and capacity modeling tools.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
25 words
A computer program as recited in claim 6 , wherein the start-up and shut-down operations are performed with the start-up and shut-down operations being automated.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
25 words
