Abstract:
1. A system for generating configuration instructions to build a programmable machine that transfers the programmable machine from a generic machine into a specific machine that serves a specified role, comprising: a memory; a processor coupled to the memory; a build management logic configured to automate building by interacting with a library that is in a standardized and a generic form, wherein the generic form allows common building blocks to represent many different configuration options, wherein the library comprising: wherein the build management logic configured to: the unspecified value is resolved by the build management logic looking to a next higher node in a site tree to determine whether that node can resolve the unspecified value, wherein the site tree is a hierarchical organization of objects in the library that are representative of machines to be configured at the site; and an automatic purposing logic configured to provide functionality for manipulating a collection of scripts and associated parameters that are assembled to create the configuration instructions as the output of the user interface.
