A method for implementing a graphical modeling tool in a web-based environment is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, such a method may include enabling a user to import, into a web-based environment, a domain meta model comprising a number of meta model elements. The method may further enable the user to associate the meta model elements with graphical representations in the web-based environment, thereby allowing the user to create palette elements. The user may then assemble the palette elements on a canvas to create a diagram. This diagram may be converted into an instance of the domain meta model. This instance may be validated for conformance with the rules and constraints associated with the domain meta model. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also disclosed and claimed herein.

Graphical modeling tool

Embodiments are directed to identifying, by an apparatus comprising a processing device, a pattern in a graph that has a support value greater than a threshold, wherein: the graph comprises a plurality of weighted nodes coupled to one another by one or more weighted edges, and each of the plurality of nodes is associated with at least one weighted attribute.

Identification of performance bottlenecks

An interactive user interface (UI) to manage searching of data is disclosed. The UI includes a first display panel configured to display a parent context view and a child context view thereon and a second display panel configured to display a diagram of an enlarged portion of the child context view.

System and method for implementing data navigation interface

A method and computer program product of incrementally visualizing graphical extensible models for legacy software applications via a user interface are provided. A graph of nodes and connections showing only the highest level of details are presented. Each node that contains additional, lower level, details is shown with an expansion icon that may be selected to see additional levels of detail for the node. When selected, the user interface drills down to show the next lowest level of details for that artifact within a visual boundary of the original artifact that was expanded. Because of the nested, hierarchical nature of the model, relationships between higher level artifacts can be inferred from explicit relationships between lower level artifacts. When the node is expanded, any connections that previously connected to the higher level artifact are updated to connect to the appropriate artifact in the lower level details.

Method and computer program product for viewing extendible models for legacy applications

A source container for use in a computer system executing problem determination tools in an integrated environment across a computer network, the source container comprising a list of pathways to a plurality of source files and module objects. A software development may create the source container independently or within the front end of a problem determination tool. The front end of the problem determination tools sends the source container to its engine, and only source files and module objects having a pathway in the source container are analyzed within the engine of the problem determination tool. Furthermore, the results of the analysis of only those source files and module objects having a pathway in the source container are returned to the front end of the problem determination tool for viewing by the software developer. The front ends of the tools of the integrated development environment, the source files, the module objects, the engines of the tools, and different tools may all be located on different servers and/or clients across a computer network.

Constraining source code and objects for analysis tools

On demand tracking of applications is provided by a mechanism of the present invention. After a user selects one or more units of execution of interest, a marker is assigned to each target object. Upon invocation of an application, an event is sent to an event handler if at least one target object is executed. The event handler gathers a process identifier and initiates a debugging, tracing or logging of the process on a target system.
