A computer program product comprises a computer useable medium. The computer useable medium has a computer readable program such that when the computer readable medium is executed on a computer, the computer is caused to configure a calling interceptor at a service invocation point corresponding to a first component service of a software application to monitor a service invocation made by the first component service of a second component service of the software application, record a first set of correlation data represented by a first correlation indicator into a trace file, record a unique identifier into the trace file, and send the unique identifier to the second component service thought the service invocation.

Method and system for correlating trace data

According to a sample embodiment, a method is provided for capturing context information about an event. A data collector is created comprising instructions to collect specific context data in response to specific conditions in a call stack, and the data collector is registered with a first failure data capture application. In a sample embodiment the first failure data capture application receives a registration for a context data collector. Then, in response to being called, the first failure data capture application looks for at least one of a class and a method defined in the context data collection registration that matches conditions of the call stack. In response to said call stack conditions being met, the first failure data capture application calls the data collector to collect context data from the call stack, receives context data from the context data collector; and presents the context data.

Capturing context information in a currently occurring event

A computer program product comprises a computer useable medium. The computer useable medium has a computer readable program such that when the computer readable medium is executed on a computer, the computer is caused to configure an interceptor at a service invocation point corresponding to a component service of a software application. Further, the computer is caused to record, at the interceptor, data in a trace file. The data is associated with a service invocation at the service invocation point. Finally, the computer is caused to provide the trace file to a service level debugger that navigates through the trace file.

Method and system for providing post-mortem service level debugging

A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for updating multiple concurrent versions of shared artifact libraries. Shared artifact libraries are associated with a consuming application for establishing shared artifact libraries upon which the consuming application has a dependency for artifacts. A snapshot of the shared artifact libraries associated with the consuming application in an active session is created in response to starting a session. The shared artifact libraries are updated in response to new versions and updates of the shared artifact libraries becoming available. Artifacts are dispensed from the shared artifact libraries to the consuming application based on the snapshot of the session.

Support continuous availability by allowing the use of multiple concurrent versions of shared artifact libraries, with proper bind-drain semantics, for long-lived process application consumers

A computer implemented method, data processing system, and computer program product for monitoring event specification and monitoring event subscription. Monitorable events are defined in a context of execution of a monitored component. Monitorable points of execution of the monitored component are identified, wherein events can be generated from the monitorable points. Possible events that can be generated in the identified monitorable points are then identified to define the monitorable events.
