Abstract
The present invention provides an effective method for migrating the system services on which applications depend, rather than all of the system services, from a source OS platform to a target platform, in order to provide a suitable and consistent environment for the applications, while reducing the cost of the migration. The migration method further classifies the configurations of system services on different platforms into common configurations and specific configurations to accelerate the determination of the source of a migration error.
