Sending a discovery agent to a computing device determines the services provided by that first computing device. As a result, a first set of information is received from the agent that provides information indicative of the services provided by the computing device. That information can then be compared to other information, either from the same computing device at a different point in time, or from a second computing device. The other information is indicative of services performed by that computing device at a different point in time or the second computing device. From that, services provided by the computing device that were previously different on the first computing device or that are not available on the second computing device can be determined.

Remote discovery and system architecture

A computer system is disclosed which has data contained in a plurality of objects described by a model representing host-based application assets. The model is use in the development of business-centric applications. The computer system comprises a data storage means for storing said plurality of objects in the computer system and means for populating the plurality of objects with a specification for a particular host-based asset. The model comprises a hierarchy of classes defined for the computer system, and includes in part a user class representing properties unique to a particular user; a user access application class representing a privilege level that a user has to a particular application; an application class encapsulating a list of host-based assets and a list of users who have access to those assets; a common file class encapsulating those hostbased assets that belong to an application type; and, a database file class encapsulating a generalization of all persistent host-related data.
