ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE DECISION MODELING FOR GAUGING IMPACT OF SOURCE CHANGE ON DEPENDENT SYSTEMS

Abstract

Mechanisms are provided for representing impacts of changes to objects in a computing system on dependent objects of the computing system. Metadata from monitored computing devices of the computing system is collected, where the metadata is associated with objects of the computing devices. A user and object metadata and relation repository (UOMRR) is generated from the metadata, where the UOMRR comprises a lineage graph that represents a dependency of the objects. A change request is received for changing a resource of a computing device in the monitored computing devices. A source object is identified in the lineage graph corresponding to the change request, and paths in the lineage graph corresponding to the source object are identified. Impact scores are calculated for each of the paths, where the impact scores quantify an impact of the change request on dependent objects of the corresponding path.
