Abstract: A first service's exhibition of a first symptom while executing a set of transactions is detected. A graph is constructed representing data flow between a set of services including the first service. By traversing the graph, a set of candidate services is constructed, a candidate service in the set of candidate services comprising a service exhibiting the first symptom, the set of candidate services including the first service. A probability of a first cause is evaluated, for the candidate service. At a problem service in the set of candidate services, a problem cause is ameliorated, the problem service identified using the set of candidate services and the probability of the first cause, the problem cause causing the first symptom.

Abstract: A method and system for capturing and storing system changes for application to multiple users and systems in a heterogeneous server environment is provided. A data processing system is initialized for a capture of an initial state of the data processing system. The data processing system is modified. The modified state of the data processing system is captured. The differences between the initial state and the modified state are stored as a set of configuration parameters in a depository, and the set of configuration parameters may be used to manage configurability of a data processing system within the distributed data processing system.

Abstract: A method and apparatus in a data processing system for managing registries. A user is detected at a client data processing system, wherein a change has occurred in access for the user. A registry file is sent containing user specific information for the user to the client data processing system. A registry on the client data processing system is updated using the registry file using commands specific to the platform, wherein an updated registry is created including the user specific information. The updated registry is sent to a depository.
