  • Registry driven real-time configuration of resource management objects for deployment in an instance of an integrated solutions console
    Patent number: 7451431
    Abstract: The present invention is a method, system and apparatus for integrating and configuring resource management objects in an integrated solutions console through a linkage with an external registry. The linkage can be a real-time linkage with respect to the development and configuration of the resource management objects in an integrated development environment. The method can include programming a new resource management object to manage a corresponding resource in an enterprise domain. Subsequently, a registry of existing resource management objects can be consulted to determine a proper placement for the new resource management object in a maximal hierarchy of the existing resource management objects. In consequence, the new resource management object can be configured for insertion into the maximal hierarchy based upon the determined proper placement.
