Managed Software Systems

a. Definition - A managed software system is a collection of software elements, grouped under a logical system. The purpose of a Managed Software System is to provide a logical container to organize a collection of Software Elements. Its configuration is largely up to the user. For example, one may want to configure a single managed software system that contained software elements for all the Siebel components (Gateway, Enterprise, Appservers), and also includes software elements that represent a web server and a database server. Alternatively, a separate Managed Software System can be created for the database server, and yet another for the web server software elements.
