According to embodiments of the present invention, machines, systems, methods and computer program products as part of a data replication process are provided. One or more complex transformations are identified from source code files of installed software products on a target system. A subscription is created for each complex transformation, the subscription containing instructions for transforming data within the source system into a form compatible with the target system. The instructions are executed within the target system to transform source data of the source system into a form compatible with the target system.

Automated identification of complex transformations and generation of subscriptions for data replication

A method, system and computer program and method for modifying functionality of a computer program. In one embodiment, configuration files include configuration directives for removing and replacing computer executable codes. The configuration directives include code identifiers pointing to the computer executable codes for execution by the computer program. A lookup module is configured to recursively search for configuration files within plug-in packages. A control module is configured to modify the program flow of the computer program in accordance with the configuration directives.

A method and system for testing a Layer tunnel in a data communication network including a network device and a network manager are described. According to the method, a test invocation is received from the network manager at the network device. In response to receipt of the test invocation at the network device, a Layer tunnel within the data communication network is tested, and a result of the test is reported to the network manager. The tests that may be conducted include a connectivity test to determine if a Layer tunnel can be established and a responsiveness test to determine the propagation time of a Layer tunnel. Advantageously, both compulsory and voluntary Layer- tunnels can be tested, thereby enabling all Layer protocols (e.g., L TP, L F, and PPTP) to be supported.
