Abstract

An approach is provided for synchronizing elements in files across a technical environment. In one embodiment, a processor obtains a first change to a first file. The processor also obtains data identifying a second file. The processor determines if the change is supported by a data library in a pre-defined list of data sources. The processor analyzes the data library to determine a type of the change. The processor applies the type of the change to the second file.

Claims (65)

1. A method for dynamically synchronizing elements in a technical environment, the method comprising:

obtaining, by a processor, a first change to a first file, and data identifying a second file;

determining, by the processor, the first change supported by a data library and identifying the data library supporting the first change, wherein the data library includes library data that defines and supports changes in files and functionalities provided by technical resources;

based on the identifying, analyzing, by the processor, the data library to determine a type of the first change; and

applying, by the processor, a second change to the second file, wherein the second change is the type of the first change, wherein the first change and the second change are not identical, and wherein the second change is supported by one or more data library.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, before the applying:

creating a simulation of the second file with the second change applied; and

soliciting a response from a client in connection with the simulation.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

saving the response from the client;

saving the type of change; and

associating a score with the type of change based on the response.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

obtaining an instruction selecting the saved type of change;

obtaining data identifying a third file;

applying a third change to the third file, wherein the third change is of the saved type of change; and

indicating the score to a client.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

obtaining additional data identifying a plurality of files; and

applying a change of the determined type of change to each file of the plurality of files.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the obtaining comprises obtaining the data identifying the second file from a pre-defined list in the data library.

7. The method of claim 3 , wherein the associating further comprises evaluating whether the score is above a predefined score.

8. A computer program product for dynamically synchronizing elements in a technical environment, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium and program code stored on the computer readable storage medium, the program code executable by a processing circuit to perform a method comprising:

obtaining, by the processing circuit, a first change to a first file and data identifying a second file;

determining, by the processing circuit, the first change is supported by a data library and identifying the data library supporting the first change, wherein the data library includes library data that defines and supports changes in files and functionalities provided by technical resources;

based on the identifying, analyzing, by the processing circuit, the data library to determine a type of the first change; and

applying, by the processing circuit, a second change to the second file, wherein the second change is the type of the first change, wherein the first change and the second change are not identical, and wherein the second change is supported by one or more data library.

9. The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein the applying comprises:

creating a simulation of the second file with the second change applied; and

soliciting a response from a client in connection with the simulation.

10. The computer program product of claim 9 , the method further comprising:

saving the response from the client;

saving the type of change; and

associating a score with the type of change based on the response.

11. The computer program product of claim 10 , the method further comprising:

obtaining an instruction selecting the saved type of change;

obtaining data identifying a third file;

applying a third change to the third file, wherein the third change is of the saved type of change; and

indicating the score to a client.

12. The computer program product of claim 8 , the method further comprising:

obtaining additional data identifying a plurality of files; and

applying a change of the determined type of change to each file of the plurality of files.

13. The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein the obtaining comprises obtaining the data identifying the second file from a pre-defined list in the data library.

14. The computer program product of claim 10 , wherein the associating further comprises evaluating whether the score is above a predefined score.

15. A computer system for dynamically synchronizing elements in a technical environment, the computer system comprising a computer readable storage medium, a processor, and program code stored on the computer readable storage medium and executable by the processor to perform a method comprising:

obtaining, by the processor, a first change to a first file, and data identifying a second file;

determining, by the processor, the first change supported by a data library and identifying the data library supporting the first change, wherein the data library includes library data that defines and supports changes in files and functionalities provided by technical resources;

based on the identifying, analyzing, by the processor, the data library to determine a type of the first change; and

applying, by the processor, a second change to the second file, wherein the second change is the type of the first change, and wherein the first change and the second change are not identical, and wherein the second change is supported by one or more data library.

16. The computer system of claim 15 , wherein the applying comprises:

creating a simulation of the second file with the second change applied; and

soliciting a response from a client in connection with the simulation.

17. The computer system of claim 16 , the method further comprising:

saving the response from the client;

saving the type of change; and

associating a score with the type of change based on the response.

18. The computer system of claim 15 , the method further comprising:

obtaining additional data identifying a plurality of files; and

applying a change of the determined type of change to each file of the plurality of files.

19. The computer system of claim 15 , wherein the obtaining comprises obtaining the data identifying the second file from a pre-defined list in the data library.

20. The computer system of claim 15 , the method further comprising:

obtaining an instruction selecting the determined type of change;

obtaining data identifying a third file;

applying a third change to the third file, wherein the third change is of the determined type of change; and

indicating a score to a client.
