Abstract :
The basic requisites of a configuration and software distribution environment are presented for maintaining information systems based on heterogeneous technological platforms: mainframe, minicomputers, and personal computers. A preliminary functional study for the ad hoc development of a configuration and software distribution instrument is presented. An evolution towards the IBM repository manager is evaluated as a technological choice to support an internal development of the instrument
