Abstract
The machine-native format of a machine reported configuration data set is identifying, and a set of rules is employed to translate the data set from machine-native format into a common format such as sales nomenclature. The common format configuration information is stored in a globally accessible repository, and retrieved to produce accurate and comprehensive configuration reports for complex configurable systems such as computer servers. These configuration reports may be utilized in order and need fulfillment, such as ordering system upgrades and repair components, scheduling manufacturing, assembly and shipping.
