20110078211SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ANALYZING AND TRANSFORMING AN APPLICATION FROM A SOURCE INSTALLATION TO A TARGET INSTALLATION - The present application is directed towards systems and methods for analyzing and transforming an application from a source installation to a target installation. Customized functions, objects, databases, and code of the source installation may be analyzed in accordance with analysis rules to create a meta-model representative of the elements of the customized elements and their relationships with each other and objects of the source installation. Responsive to transformation rules, the meta-model may be modified to create a transformed meta-model representative of the elements and their relationships with each other and objects of the target installation. The transformations may then be applied to the customized functions, objects, databases, and code of the source installation to convert them into transformed functions, objects, databases, and code, compatible with the target installation.03-31-2011

20110283269SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR APPLYING RULES TO TRANSFORM OBJECTS OF AN APPLICATION - The present application is directed towards systems and methods for applying one or more rules that transform objects of an application from a previous instance of the application. Customized functions, objects, databases, and code of the instance of the application may be analyzed by an application transformation tool to identify one or more objects that have been modified. The modified objects may be further analyzed to detect if they are permissibly alterable. The application transformation tool may determine whether each of the permissibly alterable objects reference a standard interface of the application. The application transformation tool may apply one or more rules that transform objects to those permissibly alterable objects that do not reference the standard interface of the application.11-17-2011
20110283270SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ANALYZING CHANGES IN APPLICATION CODE FROM A PREVIOUS INSTANCE OF THE APPLICATION CODE - The present application is directed towards systems and methods for analyzing and transforming changes in customized code of an enterprise resource planning (ERP) application from a previous instance of transformation of the customized code of the ERP application. Customized functions, objects, databases, and code of the application may be analyzed to identify changes in application code from a previous instance of the application code. Changed code may be further analyzed to determine which portions violate a predetermined set of coding rules of the application. Portions that violate the predetermined set of coding rules may be enumerated by one of developer, time, or type of object. Transformation rules may be applied to the code that violates the predetermined coding rules to generate a transformed instance of the application that is in conformance with the coding rules.11-17-2011
