  • Patent number: 7380244
    Abstract: In a distributed computing environment utilizing Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA), a software status display tool that provides a graphical representation of the current operational status of all of the data sources in a computer network. The display tool accesses the CORBA Name Server and obtains all available references for object implementations and their CORBA Interface Definition Language (IDL) interface. The references and interfaces map directly to all of the data suppliers and servers and their respective interfaces. The display tool then interfaces with each and every supplier and server as if it were a corresponding client or consumer and based upon the data it is able to obtain it makes a determination of the state of that particular supplier or server. The display tool then logs the results of its determinations and presents a fundamental color-coded system-wide display of its determinations on a video device.

  • Patent number: 7287252
    Abstract: In a network computing environment with a distributed software system utilizing Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA), a Universal Client and Consumer tool that creates Client and Consumer implementations for use in interacting with any existing Servers and/or Suppliers in the system, and displaying the data resulting from the interactions for the purpose of validating the operation, functionality and performance of the Servers and Suppliers. The tool creates a graphical user interface for the user to select Servers or Suppliers to evaluate. The tool identifies the Server or Supplier IDL interface, and then creates either a Client or Consumer Implementation that uses the same corresponding IDL interface. The tool then attempts to connect to the Server or Supplier and where appropriate allow the user to invoke methods. Data received from the Servers and/or Suppliers is displayed on a video device and logged for later analysis.
