A method of identifying a unique object nested within a hierarchy of objects in a computing system. The computing system identifies the unique object by its class and instance in a syntax readable by the computing system. The method identifies at least one parent object by its class and instance in the syntax and defines a relationship between the unique object and the parent object in the syntax. An computing system is used for identifying a unique object nested within a hierarchy of objects in the computing system. The computing system includes a first identify module, a second identify module, and a define module, The first identify module identifies the unique object by its class. The second identify module identifies at least one parent object by its class and instance in the syntax. And, the define module that defines a relationship between the unique object and the parent object in the syntax. An alert can be issued for the unique object.

Method and apparatus for unrestricted reporting of alert states for managed objects, regardless of type

An apparatus creates a user-defined .NET class within an operational control environment of distributed computing systems. The apparatus includes a define module that allows a user to create a new class and define properties for the new class in a specification. After the user creates the new class, the define module creates a .NET class based on the specification. In addition, a method for creating a user-defined .NET class within an operational control environment of distributed computing systems includes receiving a user-defined class; receiving user-defined properties for the user-defined class; and creating a .NET class based on the user-defined class and properties.

Method and apparatus for user-defined managed objects

Various approaches for managing a plurality of instances of an object model are disclosed. At least a first and a second instance of the object model are established in first and second data processing systems. Each instance includes a plurality of objects, and each object includes a first attribute that is a globally unique identifier (GUID). Objects are associated other objects of the plurality of objects, and for each association between a first and a second one of the plurality of objects, the first object includes a second attribute that is the GUID of the second object. Established in each system are first and second versions of a data set that includes the GUIDs of the plurality of objects and associated pointers to memory locations of the objects in the first and second memory arrangements.
