Abstract: A method and system are provided to support automated modification to a multiple node tree structure. Each clause and each logical operator are defined in the tree structure as nodes. In addition, each link emanating from a child node to a parent node is defined as a child link, and each link emanating from a parent node to a child node is defined as a parent link. The selection and location of an operator for placement in the tree structure will be automated in response to the position selected.

Abstract: A method for providing inter-platform application launch comprises receiving a query from a first application, the query comprising one or more attributes of a resource; comparing the one or more resource attributes to a central registry, the central registry comprising a plurality of application launch points, the central registry being accessible from a plurality of different applications on a plurality of different platforms; identifying one or more application launch points that match the query; and returning a launch instruction for each of the one or more matching application launch points.

Abstract: A system and method for visually rendering resource policy usage information are provided. The system and method make use of policy performance data and relative weighting values of policies to generate, for each system resource, a graphical representation of the system resource with regard to the affect of policies on their behavior within the IT infrastructure. The resulting visual depiction of the IT infrastructure provides a visual representation that quickly communicates to the user which resources have the most/least policies guiding their behavior and the frequency of evaluation of these policies. For example, a large graphical element with a negative color may alert the user that the system resource is heavily affected by policies but that the policies are not being evaluated frequently enough.
