Abstract: A web-based management interface, program product for displaying system configuration information and method of providing system or subsystem configuration information, e.g., for a storage subsystem. A web displayable file, e.g., hypertext mark up language (HTML), is generated and updated to reflect current configuration data for a storage subsystem configuration. The web page, when displayed, includes a generation snapshot that is compared against a current generation indicator that is associated with a current HTML file. If they match, the displayed web page is current; otherwise, an updated HTML file is downloaded and displayed.

Abstract: A data structure for repeated data items presented in tabular lists in a web based management interface, to a collaborative web based management interface design system and to a system and program product including the data structure. The data structure includes a page pointer table with links to repeatable data structures and corresponding page maps. The page maps have links to tabular lists in corresponding repeatable data structures. The page pointer table may be included in executable code modules generating variable data and generating web pages from the data. Adding web pages to the interface only increases the size of the executable code modules by the size of a repeatable data structure link, a map page link and a map page length indicator.
