There are disclosed computer-implemented methods, apparatus, and computer program products for scheduling snapshots. In one embodiment, the method comprises the following steps. The method comprises receiving performance data relating to a data storage system. The method also comprises determining, based on the performance data, a time for performing a snapshot of data stored on the data storage system. The method further comprises scheduling the snapshot according to the time.

Scheduling snapshots

A method is used in displaying data storage system information. A graphical user interface (GUI) is provided that includes a tree structure of GUI components. Each of the GUI components is representative of an object in a data storage system. The tree structure includes lightweight information for the GUI components. At least one of the GUI components is updated by exercising a model view controller architecture. The GUI component is derived from a model chain that includes at least two models.

Displaying data storage system information

A method is used in managing memory in displaying data storage system information. A graphical user interface (GUI) is provided that includes a GUI component representative of a logical object in a data storage system. In an object pool, a software object is stored corresponding to the GUI component. In the object pool, the software object is made available for garbage collection when the GUI releases a reference to the software object.

Managing memory in displaying data storage system information

A method is used in managing application features. A first XML file is extracted from a first JAR file, and a second XML file is extracted from a second JAR file. Based on an identifier that is common to the first and second XML files and a directory structure that is common to the first and second JAR files, a merging operation is executed on the first and second XML files. An application feature is derived from the results of the merging operation.

Managing application features

A method is used in managing threads in displaying data storage system information. A thread is selected having a first method for executing a background task for interacting with a data storage system and a second method for use in updating a graphical user interface display based on a result of executing the background task. From a thread pool, another thread is selected for executing the background task.
