Abstract
A methodology is presented for discovering and storing end-to-end associations between different types of entities in a system configuration model of a distributed middleware system. First associations are determined, at each distributed system tier, between instances of data and data-container configuration elements. Those first associations point to logical subdivision of a data service that is directly responsible for implementing an instance of data. Second associations are determined, at said each distributed system tier, between said data-container configuration elements and a server infrastructure. Said second associations point to a server infrastructure that hosts said data-container configuration elements. Third associations are composed, within said each distributed system tier, between said instances of data and said server infrastructure, using said first associations and said second associations. Fourth associations are composed, end-to-end, which represent dependency of an application using said instances of data to said server infrastructure.
