Abstract: In accordance with embodiments of the present invention, methods and systems analyze potential logic errors or problems of a business application by receiving a model representing the business application and processing the model using an object-oriented tool. The errors or problems may be corrected in the model and the correction applied to the business application. In one exemplary embodiment, the logic errors or problems may be marked in the model for identification to a user.

Abstract: Embodiments of methods and systems consistent with the present invention enable data-focused analysis of an application by reorganizing execution information generated by an application into categories associated with the data objects used by the application, and displaying or otherwise using the reorganized information for analysis, debugging, execution tracing, etc. of the application. Thus, the application execution information is presented from the data standpoint instead of from the execution sequence standpoint.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for providing a data structure for analyzing user sessions. A computer-implemented method, for processing information exchanged between a client and server, includes receiving information characterizing requests and responses exchanged between a client and a server. The method includes extracting field names and field values from the information. The method includes, for each hit, creating a name-value element for each field of the display page of the hit. Each name-value element includes a field name of the corresponding field and all the field values of the field found in the request and the one or more responses of the hit. The method includes creating, for each hit, a vector of the name-value elements created for the hit. The method includes, if the requests and responses include multiple hits, specifying an order of the vectors of the respective hits to define a sequence of vectors.

Abstract: Embodiments consistent with the invention transform business application logic entities or structures into OOP structures that represent the data, relationships, and operations of the business application structures. The business application structures are transformed from the application level, including consideration of the business application logic and relationships. In one embodiment, transformation is done using a set of automated transformation rules. The resulting OOP structure model of the business application structure may be used with OOP tools to analyze, maintain, debug, modify, and revise the business application structure, and to create new structures for the business application.

Abstract: An interactive configuration environment consistent with the present invention integrates and displays a table-based business application using a single, interactive display. When business application structures are displayed using object-oriented code structures, the business meaning of the object-oriented code structures may also be displayed in the integrated environment. Users can write a new business rule using object-oriented code, and that code may be converted into logic entities to apply the new rule in the business application. When a user rolls a mouse over an item in the object-oriented code, documentation of the underlying business meaning may be displayed in a pop-up box.

Abstract: Systems and methods consistent with the invention may analyze a business application's data, operations, and relationships and create a corresponding object oriented programming (OOP) model corresponding to the business application entities. In one embodiment the OOP model may be realized in the Java programming language and may include OOP objects, functions, and operators. Each OOP model accurately represents the data, relationships, and rules associated with the corresponding business entity. Once converted to an OOP model, systems and methods consistent with the invention may use standard OOP tools to understand, manipulate, design, redesign, analyze, and modify the business application. This can be done independently of the native business application system, as the OOP model is separate and independent from the business application entities. Modifications made to the OOP model may then be converted back into business application entities and installed in the native system.

Abstract: Exemplary methods and systems consistent with the present invention allow a user to compare different versions of a business application using an object-oriented model of the business application. By transforming business application structures into object-oriented structures, such as object-oriented language constructs, structures, and other elements, individual differences between versions of the business applications may be identified and displayed to a user, for example, on a user interface. A user may display object-oriented models of the business application representing, for instance, the latest control version, the latest deployed version, and a test version including test modifications. Having all three versions represented in object-oriented models allows a user to perform a three-way comparison between the object-oriented models, increasing productivity and efficiency of maintaining, debugging, modifying, controlling and deploying the business application.

Abstract: Computer-implemented methods and computer program products implement techniques for rating ideas in an idea management system. The techniques include circulating an idea to one or more users in an organization, receiving from one or more of the users in the organization an opinion of the idea, weighting each of the grades based on a first weight, and determining a grade of the idea based on the weighted grades. The first weight represents a characteristic of the corresponding user. The opinion includes a rating of the idea and the rating of the idea comprises a grade based on a first pre-determined scale.

Abstract: Grid user tools enable access to information related to a grid network by a user. The grid user tools may provide interactive access to data objects, to allow the user to access additional information, and/or process/operations related to the data objects. The grid user tools can provide dynamic information displays, and provide up-to-date statistics related to the grid network.

Abstract: A screensaver displays tools for use by a grid trading network participant. The tools can be interactive to allow the participant to access information related to the grid trading network.

Abstract: Systems and methods consistent with the invention create a model of a configurable business application that is compatible with an integrated development environment. The tools available in the integrated development environment (IDE) may be used as an integrated business application configuration environment (ICE) to analyze and change the configuration of the business application model while providing scope visualization, context visualization, object-interrelation analysis, error detection, and other benefits and features that an integrated environment provides for program code development. The reconfigured business application model may then be transformed into structures for the business application, so that the implemented changes to the model are applied to the actual business application.

Abstract: A system and method for auditing network applications captures transmissions during a user session between a client and a server. An auditor capture filter captures and stores each request from the client and each response by the server to each request in an auditor storage. An auditor analyzer may use the captured requests and the captured responses to visually recreate the user session to thereby analyze what transpired during the user session.
