A real-time activity monitor (RTAM) operates within or in association with a machine (such as a desktop) within a back office environment to automatically track and record desktop processing activities, application usage, as well as manual processing. The real-time activity monitor provides visibility into real-time task processing at the client desktop to enable an enterprise to address back office operational inefficiencies that are exposed by the data. According to a further feature, a recording approach is used to enable a user of the system to automatically define processes and tasks to be monitored. The approach obviates manual configuration by recording application usage actions and then using these interactions as a template for a new process object to be monitored. In an alternative embodiment, the process recorder captures screenshots and enables screen element bookmarking.

A technique for statically linking an application process to a wrapper library employed in intercepting one or more calls invoked by the application process. The intercepted calls may comprise system calls or library calls. In a first link step, the application process is statically linked with at least the intercept library, and in one embodiment, all libraries associated with the application process except for the wrapper library. This first statically linking step creates a first module. Thereafter, at least one call invoked by the application process, and to be intercepted by the intercept library, is renamed. The renaming of the intercepted call is from its original name to a temporary name in the standard program library, the intercept library and the application program. This renaming step creates a second module that no longer contains the original name of the at least one intercepted call. The second linking step is to statically link the second module with the wrapper library, thereby creating an executable module wherein the application process is statically linked to all libraries while still providing for interception of the at least one system or library call within the executable.

Statically linking an application process with a wrapper library

A method for effecting a direct jump in an executable program module to a target address displaced from a source address by a specified distance that is greater than a maximum permitted range. During program linkage the direct jump is split into at least two component direct jumps each no greater than the maximum permitted range, thus allowing the direct jump to be achieved by jumping sequentially from the source address to the target address via each of the component direct jumps. A storage medium for storing data representative of the executable program module contains at least one trampoline for performing the component direct jumps.
