Abstract: A method for managing settings of applications. A request from an application to store runtime settings currently being used by the application is identified. In response to identifying the request, the runtime settings are then stored on in a repository of runtime settings. In one or more examples, the application is running on an operating system on a computer system, and the request is communicated through a common system service of the operating system.

Abstract: Managing settings of applications is provided. A request from an application to store runtime settings, currently being used by the application, is identified by a processor executing program instructions for managing settings of applications. In response to identifying the request, the runtime settings are then stored on in a repository of runtime settings. In one or more examples, the application is running on an operating system on a computer system, and the request is communicated through a common system service of the operating system.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for controlling tracing functions on a remote device. The system includes means for receiving a diagnostic signal from a host device on the remote device and means for associating the diagnostic signal with a tracing state of the remote device. In addition, the system includes means for performing a tracing function indicated by the diagnostic signal. The present invention can also be viewed as a method for controlling tracing functions on a remote device. The method operates by receiving a diagnostic signal from a host device on the remote device and associating the diagnostic signal with a tracing state of the remote device. Then, the method performs a tracing function indicated by the diagnostic signal.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for monitoring network performance in a network controlled by a communication access method. The communication access method is modified to communicate with a network performance monitor so that the communication access method will monitor its internal processing for information units for a predetermined resource upon request of the network performance monitor. The communication access method time stamps each inbound and outbound information unit for the predetermined resource and sends formatted data regarding each information unit, including the time stamp data, to a predetermined exit from the communication access method. The network performance monitor obtains the formatted data from the performance exit and processes the formatted data to determine network performance in relation to the predetermined resource.
