  • Patent number: 9727438
    Abstract: One or more expressions are evaluated that represent one or more characteristics of a dataflow graph that includes vertices representing data processing components connected by links representing flows of work elements between the components. A request is received by a computing system to evaluate the one or more expressions that include one or more operations on one or more variables; and the one or more expressions are evaluated by the computing system. The evaluating includes: defining a data structure that includes one or more fields, collecting, during execution of the dataflow graph, tracking information associated with one or more components of the dataflow graph, storing values associated with the tracking information in the one or more fields, and replacing one or more variables of the one or more expressions with the values stored in the one or more fields to compute a result of evaluating the one or more expressions.

  • Patent number: 9189529
    Abstract: A method includes receiving information provided by a data processing application during execution of the data processing application. The information is indicative of at least one of a source of data for the data processing application and a destination of data from the data processing application. The method includes dynamically analyzing the information during execution of the data processing application to identify a queue in communication with the data processing application; and dynamically analyzing the information during execution of the data processing application to identify a relationship between the data processing application and the queue, including at least one of identifying that the queue is the source of data for the data processing application and identifying that the queue is the destination of data from the data processing application.
