A computing system for managing storage relative to a storage subsystem is provided. The computing system includes a processor and a first interface configured to interact with a deployed software system using a representational state transfer communication technique. A second interface is configured to interact with the storage subsystem in accordance with the representational state transfer technique. The computing system is configured to interact with the storage subsystem via the second interface in response to a request from the deployed software system via the first interface and to provide an output to the deployed software system through the first interface based on the interaction with the storage subsystem.

Aggregated access to storage subsystem

Techniques are described herein that are capable of modeling a lifetime of a hybrid software application using an application manifest. For instance, workflows and input-output information may be received (e.g., from an independent software vendor). The workflows are configured to implement respective heterogeneous software products that are included in a hybrid software application. The input-output information specifies inputs of the heterogeneous software products and a mapping between output(s) of first heterogeneous software product(s) and input(s) of second heterogeneous software product(s). Operations that are to be performed to execute the workflows are determined based at least in part on the inputs and the mapping. A lifetime of the hybrid software application is modeled by generating an application manifest that defines the lifetime based at least in part on the operations.

Modeling lifetime of hybrid software application using application manifest

A configuration architecture automatically links the output of a business process modeler to a business system configuration tool. The output of the business process modeler is translated into a representation of a source business process that is used by the business system configuration tool to automatically generate configuration templates. A user can provide configuration information through the configuration templates. The configuration inputs are applied to an implementation of a business system to obtain a configured, working business system instance with the same functionality as the source business process.
