Abstract
A computer-implemented method comprises, using a server computer that is communicatively coupled to an instance of an application program, and under stored program control: collecting answer data from a computing device by executing input AI instructions, to programmatically select a plurality of question data representing questions about configuration values of the application program, to cause rendering the question data in a user interface of a display device coupled to the computing device, and to select other question data automatically via a decision tree embodied in the input AI instructions; receiving a plurality of answer data from the computing device in response to the rendering of the question data; automatically repeating executing the input AI instructions and receiving the plurality of answer data to obtain a complete set of answer data; based on applying pre-defined programmatic rules to the answer data, identifying a plurality of contextually relevant domain objects and storing the domain objects; applying one or more programmed transformations to the domain objects to result in automatically generating one or more configuration files for the instance of the applic…
