Abstract: An application monitoring method and system. The method may comprise the steps of capturing raw performance data from one or more components of the application, converting the raw performance data of the one or more components to data records having a standard event data format, determining summary data for the one or more components based on the data records, and presenting the summary data to an end user.

Abstract: A computer programming method is provided for translating source messages to target messages. The translational steps are described in a database in which all necessary instructions and data are stored. A control program has the limited functions of responding to source messages and accessing the database. The database then directs the control program to access subroutines called translation method programs. The translation method programs then access the source message in a step-by-step process to translate the source message to the target message. The translation method programs send messages to the control program to advise if each step in the translation process has or has not been successfully accomplished. The control program, responding to the database and the translation method programs, then delivers the completely translated target message to the receiver.
