A computing system comprises, in one example, a difference generation component configured to access a type file representing a type in a base version of a computing system and identify a customization made to the type in the base version of the computing system to obtain a customized version of the computing system, and a type accessing component configured to serialize the customization into a customization file of a given file format, the customization file having a separate element representing each customization made to the type in the base version of the computing system to obtain the customized version of the computing system, the type accessing component storing the customization file as a separate file from the type file.

Representation of customizable types in a development environment

A computing system comprises, in one example, a user interface component and a domain specific language (DSL) type generation system configured to control the user interface component to display type generation user input mechanisms, detect user actuation of the type generation user input mechanisms, and, in response to the detected user actuation, generate a set of DSL types and relations between types in the set, and wherein the domain specific language type generation system is configured to output the set of DSL types and relations for use in a use environment.

Domain specific language modeling framework in a development environment

A computing system comprises, in one example, an upgrade system configured to detect a user upgrade input indicating that a base version of a computing system is to be upgraded, by applying a set of upgrade changes to the base version, to obtain an upgraded version of the computing system, a difference generation system configured to retrieve a customized version of the base version of the computing system and identify that the customized version corresponds to the base version with customizations applied, a combining engine configured to obtain the customizations applied to the base version and the upgrade changes, and combine the customizations with the upgrade changes to obtain a full set of changes, and a difference application engine configured to apply the full set of changes to the base version of the computing system to obtain a customized, upgraded version of the computing system.

Model driven customization framework

An upgrade or update that is available to a deployed computing system (or deployment) under analysis is identified. Performance improvement metrics measured at similar deployments, that incorporated the identified update, are accessed to estimate a performance improvement metric corresponding to incorporating the identified update at the deployment under analysis.

Adaptive upgrade to computing systems

A development system comprises, in one example, a customization component configured to detect user development inputs to develop elements of a computing system, the elements comprising types modeled in the computing system, a display system configured to generate user interface displays, and a visualization system configured to identify a set of customized elements, a set of non-customized elements, and a customization type for each of the customized elements. The visualization system comprises a display system controller configured to control the display system to generate an integrated view user interface display that visually distinguishes the set of customized elements from the set of non-customized elements and indicates the customization types for the customized elements.

Visualization framework for customizable types in a development environment

A development system comprises, in one example, a development module configured to receive user development inputs to develop elements of a computer system. The elements comprise types modeled in the computer system. The development system comprises a user interface module configured to generate a user interface display with user input mechanisms that receive a user search query for searching the elements of the computer system. The development system comprises a search module configured to identify a type-based search parameter for the user search query and to obtain a set of search results by performing an element search based on the user search query and the type-based search parameter.
