Abstract
A registration manager implemented as a task registration manager for dynamically registering management task descriptions on demand. The task registration manager includes a static registration mechanism, a static registry, and a runtime registration mechanism. At installation of a management application, the static registration mechanism stores a relatively small amount of information regarding each task provided with that application in the static registry for use at runtime. At runtime, the runtime registration mechanism registers a task the first time a specific task is requested by consulting the information contained in the runtime registration mechanism and then parsing the task description and placing it in a description object. A pointer to the description object is returned. Subsequent executions are performed using the pointer to the description object already in memory.
