Methods, computer program products, and computer systems for configuration management are disclosed. Such methods, computer program products, and computer systems include determining whether unstructured data or structured data is available for use as a basis to define an associative template, and in response to a determination that unstructured data is available for use as the basis to define the associative template, determining whether the unstructured data is hierarchically organized. In response to a determination that the unstructured data is hierarchically organized, an associative template can then be defined using the hierarchical organization of the unstructured data, where the unstructured data is hierarchically-organized unstructured data (HOUD).

Method and system for configuration management of hierarchically organized unstructured data using associative templates

Various systems, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for performing configuration management functionality on hierarchically-organized unstructured data using associative templates. Such methods, computer program products, and computer systems include identifying a node in the associative template and setting a configuration parameter to a parameter value, based on a template association. The node in the associative template is a node in a hierarchy of an associative template. The identifying indicates a template association between the node in the associative template and a node in a hierarchy of hierarchically-organized unstructured data (HOUD). The parameter value is maintained in the node in the associative template, and the node comprises the configuration parameter.

Method and system for configuration management of hierarchically-organized unstructured data using associative templates

A method and apparatus for recreating placeholders comprising selecting at least one object of information in an archive, determining a source location for the selected at least one object of information, accessing the selected at least one object of information, and recreating a placeholder from the selected at least one object of information.
