  • Patent number: 8086998
    Abstract: A meta object facility file is parsed into a plurality of schema elements. For each schema element, it is determined that the definition of the schema element is complete. A computing artifact usable in a database description language database table or a JAVA class is created from the schema element. When the schema element is a meta object facility class, a modeling entity is created to store the computing artifacts derived from the meta object facility file wherein the modeling entity is a JAVA class. The meta object facility class is transformed into a JAVA class, and upon determining that an attribute of the meta object facility class has an array of values, an array table is created and identified in the modeling entity, and an array attribute is added to JAVABEAN information in the modeling entity.

  • Publication number: 20090094695
    Abstract: Illustrative embodiments provide a computer implemented method, data processing system and computer program product for generating an association between a configuration item and an account. In one illustrative embodiment, the computer implemented method comprises selecting the configuration item requiring account association to create a selected configuration item, and selecting a set of rules for the selected configuration item to form a set of selected rules, wherein the selected set of rules is used to associate configuration items to accounts. Further the method determines whether a match is present between the set of selected rules and the selected configuration item, and responsive to determining that a match is present, obtains account mapping information for an account identified by the match, and associates the selected configuration item with the account using the account mapping information.

  • Publication number: 20070255751
    Abstract: A computerized method, program product, and a service that resolves the business problem by enabling an automated and simplified process to generate DDL and JAVA classes directly from a MOF definition. The method, program product, and service creates useful computing artifacts from a set of abstract and generic specifications described in the MOF format. The computing artifacts include a DDL database schema having tables that accurately reflect the object-oriented hierarchy of the objects described in the MOF format; JAVA classes that correspond to the objects defined in the MOF format; object-to-relational (O/R) mapping file that maps the JAVA classes and their attributes to the tables and columns in the DDL database schema; SQL insert statements for loading the data of enumerated list values into the tables and the JAVA classes; database design reports; and O/R name translation reference reports.
