A system, a method, and a computer program product for providing a layered business configuration are disclosed. A configuration information for configuring an application object of a software application is obtained. The configuration information is arranged in at least one configuration staging table. The configuration staging table contains at least one configuration object. The configuration object contained in the configuration staging table is activated. Based on the activated configuration object, at least one configuration runtime table for configuring the application object is generated.

Layered business configuration

According to some embodiments, a business service provider may define a stable user interface anchor entity associated with a business object data structure. A reference field may be associated with the stable user interface anchor, the reference field representing a path to a persistent node of the business object data structure. An end user adaptation to a user interface may then be applied in connection with the business object data structure, the adaptation referencing the stable user interface anchor entity.

Stable anchors in user interface to support life cycle extensions

In one aspect, there is provided a computer-implemented method. The method may including selecting an existing business object for extension in an extensibility integrated development system; generating, in the extensibility integrated development system, a page highlighting one or more nodes of the existing business object to allow selection of the one or more nodes for modification; selecting, in the extensibility integrated development system, at least one of the one or more nodes, when highlighted; modifying, in the extensibility integrated development system, the selected one or more nodes by adding at least one attribute to the at least one of the selected one or more nodes; and storing, in a repository, the modified node including the added at least one attribute. Related apparatus, systems, methods, and articles are also described.

Extensibility integrated development environment for business object extension development

Some aspects relate to systems and methods to receive a first metamodel conforming to a first meta-metamodel associated with first modeling unit types. A second metamodel conforming to a second meta-metamodel is generated based on the first metamodel and on a mapping between the first meta-metamodel and the second meta-metamodel, where the second meta-metamodel is associated with second modeling unit types, and where the first modeling unit types are different from the second modeling unit types.

Systems and methods for metamodel transformation

A method, apparatus, and system are provided for monitoring of system resources. According to one embodiment, managed beans may be provided to management applications. The managed beans may be registered with a managed bean server. The managed bean server along with a monitoring server may be used to monitor the resources. Monitoring data may be collected from monitoring of the resources, and may then be provided to the management applications.

Architecture and method for monitoring system resources within an enterprise network

A monitoring system is described which simplifies the management of complex, multi-tiered networks such as those used in large enterprises. One embodiment of the system is implemented on a cluster of application servers which are communicatively coupled together on a network to serve applications over the network to a plurality of clients. One embodiment of the monitoring system is built from a group of services. An administration service generates a plurality of runtime management beans ('MBeans') on each of the server nodes of the cluster and associates each of the runtime MBeans with specified server node resources. In addition, in one embodiment, a notification service generates cluster-wide notifications in response to certain specified events associated with certain resources of certain MBeans. The notification service distributes the notifications across all, or a subset of, the server nodes of the cluster. In addition, a monitor service generates monitor MBeans corresponding to selected runtime MBeans. The monitor MBeans are arranged in a hierarchical tree structure and are configured to receive monitoring data from associated runtime MBeans.

Multi-service management architecture employed within a clustered node configuration

A method, apparatus, and system are provided for monitoring of system resources using a monitor tree. According to one embodiment, a resource may be associated with a monitor managed bean at a node of a monitor tree. Monitoring information regarding the associated resources may be requested from a runtime managed bean, and the monitoring information may be received by the monitor managed bean at the node of the monitor tree.

Method and system for employing a hierarchical monitor tree for monitoring system resources in a data processing environment

Methods and apparatuses for configuring logging of a deployment of an enterprise component are described herein. In one embodiment, in response to a request for deploying an enterprise component, a logging configuration process extracts logging configuration information from a logging configuration file associated with the enterprise component and configures the logging for the respective enterprise component being deployed. The logging configuration file is designed exclusively for configuring logging of the enterprise component. Thereafter, the deployment information of the enterprise component is logged based on the extracted logging configuration information when the enterprise component is deployed. Other methods and apparatuses are also described.

Log configuration and online deployment services

An integrated tracing and logging system for an enterprise network is described. One embodiment of the integrated logging and tracing system has an object-oriented architecture which includes a controller class with two sub-classes: a tracing sub-class and a logging sub-class. Instances of the tracing sub-class (tracing modules) are associated with specified program code regions of network applications. The tracing modules receive method calls from the network applications and process the method calls based on defined severity levels. Instances of the logging sub-class (logging modules) are associated with specified 'categories' related to the enterprise network (e.g., system, database, etc). The logging modules receive and process method calls from network components associated with the categories. The integrated logging and tracing system provides a unique architecture for configuring the logging and tracing modules using minimum/maximum severity settings and inheritance.

Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to a system and method for a remote Graphical User Interface (GUI). In an embodiment, a local computing system requests access to a remote computing system. In response, the remote computing system provides connection information to identify an appropriate GUI for accessing the remote computing system. The local computing system forwards the connection information to another local computing system to obtain the identified GUI. In one embodiment, the local computing system automatically downloads the GUI and accesses the remote computing system with the GUI.

Obtaining a graphical user interface to access a remote computing system

A method, apparatus, and system are provided for a visual administrator providing Java management bean (MBean) support. According to one embodiment, a representation of a plurality of MBeans is displayed on a graphical user interface of a computing device. One of the plurality of MBeans may be selected with the graphical user interface. In an embodiment, an attribute of the selected MBean is accessed with the graphical user interface. In an embodiment, an operation of the selected MBean is invoked with the graphical user interface.

Visual administrator providing java management bean support

A system and method for employing bytecode modification techniques for tracing services within an application server. Application servers, such as those based on the Java 2 Enterprise Edition ('J2EE') standard, include a variety of different services. In one embodiment of the invention, a group of services executed on an application server are identified for tracing. For each service in the group, a group of entry and/or exit methods to be traced are identified. The group of entry/exit methods may represent entry and/or exit points to and from the service, respectively. Once the service's method are identified, the service's bytecode is modified based on the particular group of entry/exit methods specified. The service is then executed and method invocations of the bytecode modified entry/exit methods are registered.
