  • Publication number: 20130151691
    Abstract: A method, data processing system, and computer program product for analyzing components in a network data processing system. A computer identifies a relationship of a set of components in the network data processing system with a function in an organization. The computer monitors a first set of metrics for the set of components over a time period, wherein the first set of metrics indicates a performance for the set of components. The computer monitors a second set of metrics for the function in the organization over the time period, wherein the second set of metrics indicates a use of the function in the organization. The computer selects a component in the set of components. The computer identifies an impact of the selected component on the second metrics for the function in the organization using the relationship and the second set of metrics. A user can provide comments regarding the impact.

  • Patent number: 7908305
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for providing an integrated environment for processing business object documents (BODs). The integrated environment utilizes an IntelliBod system to employ standard business semantics while adapting modified business terms. Applications requesting integration, or mapping, map to common business semantics of the BODs, and the IntelliBOD system manages the business semantic (and technical) integration of the applications. IntelliBOD systems utilize JAVA environments to process requests, thereby reducing cost and space required to maintain general purpose middleware.
