A remote execution request is received from a client, specifying first and second remote execution tools and execution data pertaining to the tools and comprising a query to select host machines. First and second host machines are selected in view of a result of the query and the first and second tools. A script is generated in view of the execution data and first metadata describing components of the host machines. A plurality of execution proxy machines are selected in view of the first and second hosts. A first template associated with the first tool and a second template associated with the second tool are generated in view of the script. The first template and the second template are transmitted to first and second execution proxy machines, respectively. Outputs from remote execution of the templates are received from the first and second hosts and transmitted to the client.

Distributed remote execution

Some embodiments of a system and a method to automatically generate documentation on application programming interfaces (APIs) have been presented. For instance, while a processor is building a software system from programming code including APIs, the processor may extract objects related to the APIs from comments embedded in the programming code and automatically generate documentation on the APIs using the objects extracted and templates associated with the objects extracted.

Automatically generating documentation on application programming interfaces

Some embodiments of application programming interface (API) enhancement in a networked system have been presented. In one embodiment, a servlet is initialized on a centralized server in the networked system. The capabilities of an application programming interface (API) accessible by the client are expanded to allow the client to have data converted to a predetermined format when executing an automation script in order to perform an administrative task on multiple computing machines in the networked system without user intervention.
