Nomura Research Institute has been granted a patent for a system that manages the release of a developed program to a production environment. The system includes multiple servers with a blockchain installed, a means for detecting release-related events, and a means for generating a blockchain block containing uniqueness and specification information. The system ensures the uniqueness of the program during the detected event, which includes program approval, automatic movement, and transfer to different storage areas.

Managing release of developed program using blockchain technology
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11762643B2) describes a system for managing the release of a developed program to a production environment using blockchain technology. The system includes multiple servers with blockchain installed, means for detecting release-related events, and means for generating blocks of the blockchain containing uniqueness and specification information.
The developed program is released by transferring it from a first storage area accessible to developers to a second storage area with restricted access. It is then further transferred to a third storage area in the production environment. The system detects events such as program approval, automatic movement of a program between storage areas, and movement of a program to the production environment.
The blocks of the blockchain also contain additional information such as the subject of the event, the time and position of the event, and the path of the program during the event. The position of the program can be in the first, second, or third storage area.
The system includes means for specifying approved programs that have not been moved by referring to the specification information in the blockchain. It also automatically moves the specified program from the first storage area to the second storage area.
In cases where the specification information specifies approval of a program in the first storage area, the system compares the uniqueness information of the program in the blockchain with the current uniqueness information. If they match, the program is specified, but if they don't match, a warning process is performed without specifying the program.
The system also includes means for generating a screen that displays events associated with a predetermined program and the uniqueness information obtained during the event. This screen is displayed on a display.
Additionally, the system includes a server for auditing purposes. It generates a screen displaying statistical information about program releases by referring to the blockchain and displays it on the auditing server's display.
Overall, this patented system leverages blockchain technology to manage the release of developed programs to a production environment, ensuring uniqueness and providing detailed information about events and program positions. It also offers features for specifying and moving approved programs, as well as generating screens for event display and statistical information.
