Method and apparatus for operating a data processing system. The data processing system hosts an operating system that is coupled to a management interface processor, wherein the management interface processor is coupled to a network having a plurality of computer systems coupled thereto. One or more instances of an independently operable console view are initiated on one or more of the computer systems, and one or more logical console objects are instantiated on the management interface processor. On selected ones of the computer systems, one or more instances of a system operations program are configured to transmit data received from a console view to the logical console object and transmit data received from a logical console object to one or more instances of a console view. The instances of the system operations program are coupled to the logical console objects, respectively, and in response to user-initiated connection requests for each of the one or more instances of the console view, each instance of the console view is coupled to a selected instance of the system operations program.

Method and apparatus for operating a data processing system using multiple console views

A method and apparatus for operating a data processing system. The data processing system hosts an operating system which is coupled to a management interface processor. The management interface processor is further coupled to a network along with a plurality of workstations. One or more logical console objects are instantiated on the management interface processor. Respectively associated with and coupled to the one or more logical console objects are one or more instances of a system operations program. The instances of the system operations programs provide a user-interface for console level operations of the data processing system. The instances of the system operations program can be rehosted amongst the workstations, thereby aiding in workload balancing and resiliency.

Method and apparatus for operating a data processing system

A system for automatically responding to character-based messages is disclosed. A pattern database is defined with pattern definitions for matching input messages and response definitions for automatically responding to matching input messages. Patterns definitions include token definitions which define criteria for matching a portion of an input message. The pattern definitions further include pattern decisions that contain logical expressions which increases the flexibility in defining patterns to match messages. The response definitions include function definitions and optional function decisions. Functions to be performed in response to a matching message are specified in the function definitions, wherein performance of the specified functions is dependent upon evaluation of the function decisions.

Apparatus and method for message matching using pattern decisions in a

A system for automatically and variably responding to character-based messages is disclosed. With user specified input, a software tool creates a pattern database. The pattern database consists of pattern definitions for matching input messages and response definitions for automatically responding to matching input messages. Pattern definitions define criteria for matching an input message. The response definitions include function definitions and optional function decisions. Functions to be performed in response to a matching message are specified in the function definitions, wherein performance of the specified functions is dependent upon evaluation of the function decisions.
