Abstract: Exemplary embodiments provide annotations for dynamic dispatch of threads from scripting language code. Exemplary embodiments may provide scripting language code and execute the code causing examination of at least one annotation associated with a referenced collection of code. Exemplary embodiments may dynamically dispatch a first task to a first thread automatically from the scripting language code at runtime based on the examination of the at least one annotation associated with the referenced collection of code.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus operate in a computer system for managing resources and provide a method for displaying managed object data associated with managed resources. Embodiments of the invention retrieve a data dictionary containing a master view definition, task definitions, view definitions and managed object data definitions. The embodiments then display the master view definition on the graphical user interface and receive a managed object selection and a task selection to apply to the managed object selection. The embodiments then identify a view definition corresponding to the task selection with which to display managed object data related to the managed object selection. The embodiments then display a view corresponding to the at least one view definition on a graphical user interface of the computer system and obtain managed object data related to the managed object selection based upon managed object data references contained in the view definition.

Abstract: Mechanisms and techniques are disclosed that provide a graphical user interface and associated processing operations for performing management of resources in a network environment such as a storage area network. In one configuration, the system displays a plurality of resource tasks in a task display area on a graphical user interface and displays a plurality of resource objects in a resource display area on the graphical user interface. The system then receives a selection of one or more resource tasks identifying function(s) to apply to a selection of resource objects. The system then applies the function(s) associated with each selected resource task to the selection of resource objects to produce a set of resource information and displays the resource information for each resource object view panel(s) in an shared output display area for viewing by a user of the graphical user interface.
