Patent number: 9600233Abstract: Illustrative embodiments provide a computer-implemented method for a generic data model for event monitoring integration. The computer-implemented method generates monitor application descriptor data for an identified candidate, identifies a target monitor model specification associated with the identified candidate to form an identified target monitor model specification, and responsive to identifying the target monitor model specification, provides the monitor application descriptor data and the identified target monitor model specification, to a monitor model generator. The computer-implemented method further identifies application elements of the identified candidate to be monitored to form identified elements, and generates the identified monitor model for the identified elements to create a monitor-specific output.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2008Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Vladimir Klicnik, Grace Hai Yan Lo, Curtis Reed Miles, William Gerald O'Farrell

Patent number: 8788248Abstract: The illustrative embodiments described herein provide a computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for managing a flow model simulation. In an illustrative embodiment, annotated simulation settings are associated with a source model in response to receiving the source model. The annotated simulation settings are derived from at least one of a set of user-defined simulation settings and default simulation settings. The annotated source model is transformed into an internal domain model using a set of links that are generated using a set of link rules. The set of links maps a set of source model elements to a set of internal domain model elements of the internal domain model. Results from a simulation of the internal domain model are mapped back to the source model to identify a context for the results. Thereafter, a target view model is generated from the internal domain model. The target view model includes the results presented in the context of the source model.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2009Date of Patent: July 22, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jay William Benayon, Pablo Daniel Irassar, Kui Yan Lau, Humie Leung, William Gerald O'Farrell, Vincent Szaloky

Patent number: 8549481Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system, and computer program product for a web-based integrated test and debugging system is provided. The method includes configuring a proxy widget on a server to communicate with a debug widget on a browser, and configuring the proxy widget to communicate with an integrated development environment (IDE) external to the server. The method also includes running a process on the server associated with one or more process-control widgets on the browser. The method further includes polling the IDE via the proxy widget to access a debug and test infrastructure of the IDE for debug data associated with the process, and relaying the debug data associated with the process from the proxy widget to the debug widget to provide web-based integration of testing and debugging on the browser while the process is running on the server.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2009Date of Patent: October 1, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Dorian Birsan, Mihnea Galeteanu, Vladimir Klicnik, Mariya Koshkina, Wen Sheng Liu, William Gerald O'Farrell, Hung Chau Tran

Patent number: 8196109Abstract: Software developers working on multi-language systems with various debug tools (BPEL, AE, Java, etc.) can use a common debug adaptor (CDA). The CDA implements a method of debugging in a multi-computer program language environment. The method includes registering various debug tools associated with different programming languages in the multi-computer program language environment, each one of the plurality of debug tools providing suspended threads and stack frames in response to a debug event in the multi-computer program language environment. The method can further include receiving the suspended threads and stack frames from the plurality of debug tools. The method can further include correlating the received suspended threads and stack frames under a common suspended thread; and providing the common suspended thread in a debug view. Such a method can have a number of attributes intended to assist developers facing debugging problems in multi-language systems.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2005Date of Patent: June 5, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jane Chi-Yan Fung, Grace Hai Yan Lo, William Gerald O'Farrell, Shu Xia Tan

Publication number: 20100162225Abstract: A method for automatically propagating refactoring changes across multiple applications is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, such a method may include receiving a primary change for an artifact managed by a first application. The first application may calculate referencing changes necessitated by the primary change for artifacts managed by the first application. The first application may then generate a difference notification documenting the primary and referencing changes. This difference notification may be transmitted to a second application. The second application may analyze the difference notification to determine what refactoring changes are needed for artifacts managed by the second application. The second application may then implement the refactoring changes to the artifacts managed thereby. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also disclosed and claimed herein.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2008Publication date: June 24, 2010Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Wei Huang, Vladimir Klicnik, Grace Hai Yan Lo, Curtis Reed Miles, William Gerald O'Farrell, Udesh Herath Senaratne

Patent number: 7287246Abstract: In a development environment for message flows, a user defined flow may be processed into a more efficient optimized flow. However, debugging execution of the optimized flow may be confusing to the user where a correspondence between connections in the optimized flow and connections in the user defined flow are not direct. To mitigate this confusion, a connections mapping table is generated along with the optimized flow. The deploy document received by the runtime may include enough information to recreate the connections mapping table such that during debugging of the optimized flow, the user may follow the user defined flow. The use of a stack at the runtime allows a debugger to maintain awareness of previous pauses in execution caused by the placement of breakpoints on connections in the user defined flow while directing the runtime through execution of the optimized flow.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2003Date of Patent: October 23, 2007Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Shu Xia Tan, Evangelos Mamas, William Gerald O'Farrell, Alexander Seeleman, II, Vivian Mak
