One or more processors apply rules to a first query to generate a modified query such that processing of the modified query is improved for a first set of processing conditions. One or more processors measure a degree of latency experienced during processing of the modified query under a second set of processing conditions. One or more processors generate other rules to be applied to queries based, at least in part, on the measured degree of latency.

Dynamic rules to optimize common information model queries

One or more processors measure a degree of latency experienced during processing of the modified query under a second set of processing conditions.

A method and system for providing a homogeneous view of a distributed common information model (CIM) within a heterogeneous virtual system environment is disclosed. The virtual system environment includes local and remote host systems, each of which includes a CIM Object Model (CIMOM) and a CIM repository of provider applications. The method includes selecting one of the CIMOMs to serve as a single access point to the CIMOMs for all client requests and configuring provider applications of the selected CIMOM to communicate with non-selected CIMOMs. The configuration includes using a discovery or registration process to identify all of the local and remote host systems in the virtual system environment and provide access points between the provider applications of the selected CIMOM and the hosts. In response to a client request, the selected CIMOM uses the access points to retrieve, aggregate, and forward the information to a client application as a homogeneous view.
