Embodiments pertaining to managing access in one or more computing systems can include an operations controller in communication with the one or more computing systems for managing commercial transactions of the one or more computing systems and an access management controller in communication with the operations controller. The access management controller can receive an input that identifies relationships between user roles and actions associated with the one or more computing systems. The access management controller can provide the input to the operations controller for implementation of access rules in accordance with the relationships. The access management controller can attempt to access in the one or more computing systems at least a portion of the user roles and the actions after the operations controller has implemented the access rules. The access management controller can compare the attempted access with the relationships to determine access discrepancies.

An illustrative embodiment of a computer-implemented process for interdependent task management selects a task from an execution task dependency chain to form a selected task, wherein a type selected from a set of types including 'forAll,' 'runOnce' and none is associated with the selected task and determines whether there is a &#x201c;forAll&#x201d; task. Responsive to a determination that there is no &#x201c;forAll&#x201d; task, determines whether there is a &#x201c;runOnce&#x201d; task and responsive to a determination that there is a &#x201c;runOnce&#x201d; task further determines whether there is a semaphore for the selected task. Responsive to a determination that there is a semaphore for the selected task, the computer-implemented process determines whether the semaphore is &#x201c;on&#x201d; for the selected task and responsive to a determination that the semaphore is &#x201c;on,&#x201d; sets the semaphore &#x201c;off&#x201d; and executes the selected task.

Interdependent task management by executing tasks based on the 'for all' task attributes and existence of semaphore in a task dependency chain

An illustrative embodiment of an apparatus for interdependent task management selects a task from an execution task dependency chain to form a selected task, wherein a type selected from a set of types including 'forAll,' 'runOnce' and none is associated with the selected task and determines whether there is a &#x201c;forAll&#x201d; task. Responsive to a determination that there is no &#x201c;forAll&#x201d; task, determines whether there is a &#x201c;runOnce&#x201d; task and responsive to a determination that there is a &#x201c;runOnce&#x201d; task further determines whether there is a semaphore for the selected task. Responsive to a determination that there is a semaphore for the selected task, the computer-implemented process determines whether the semaphore is &#x201c;on&#x201d; for the selected task and responsive to a determination that the semaphore is &#x201c;on,&#x201d; sets the semaphore &#x201c;off&#x201d; and executes the selected task.

A method of generating a tool for merging customizations made to a first version of a software artifact when migrating to a second version includes instantiating a mapping element for each top-level element in a first code set that does not have a complementary element in a second code set; requesting and receiving merge instructions for each top-level element for which merge instructions are not provided in the corresponding mapping element; determining whether the merge instructions for each top-level element for which merge instructions are provided require that customizations be merged into the second code set; determining whether the merge instructions for each top-level element set that requires customizations to be merged are valid; requesting and receiving merge instructions for each top-level element for which the merge instructions are not valid; and storing the merge instructions received for each top-level element in the corresponding mapping element.
