The present disclosure relates generally to the field of software configuration management, and more particularly to validating, detecting, and dynamically handling software configurations and updates. A computing device detects a configuration event in a first computer program. The computing device includes a plurality of executing computer programs, wherein the plurality of executing computer programs includes the first computer program and a second computer program, and wherein the first computer program has a configurational relationship to the second computer program. The computing program determines whether the configuration event affects the second computer program. The computing device generates an action in response to the determination.

Runtime detection of software configurations and upgrades

A processor-implemented method, system, and/or computer program product detects and handles an unintentional touching of a touch screen in order to prevent unintentional inputs to the touch screen. An unintentional touching of touch screen, as determined by one or more predefined events, causes a predetermined region of the touch screen to be disabled.

Detecting and handling unintentional touching of a touch screen

Software fix packs and/or APAR's are maintained at a server for use on a requesting computer system. The requesting computer system makes a request for a specific APAR, which is identified by a version number, from the server. The server determines, by examining the requesting computer's request, whether the requesting computer system has all required software dependencies for the requested APAR. When it is determined what the requesting computer systems needs, the server bundles the requested APAR and any required software dependencies, not already on the requesting computer system, for shipment to the requesting computer system.
