1. A method of non-destructively updating an information technology infrastructure using an operations management environment, the method comprising: integrating an operations management environment with an information technology infrastructure through an adaptor, the integration occurring while the information technology infrastructure performs one or more tasks; receiving data from the information technology infrastructure through the adapter, the data being generated by activity of artifacts included in the information technology infrastructure, the artifacts being configured to perform the one or more tasks; modeling relationships between the artifacts included in the information technology infrastructure based on the received data; determining a proposed modification to the information technology infrastructure based on an external change; simulating, while the information technology infrastructure performs the one or more tasks, the response of the artifacts to the proposed modification using the modeled relationships; monitoring the response of the artifacts to determine if the proposed modification implements the external change; generating a modification based on the proposed modification if the proposed modification implements the external change; and updating the information technology infrastructure with the modification by pushing the modification through the adaptor while the information technology infrastructure performs the one or more tasks.
