Filed:

Apr 5, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/398001

Inventors:

Christopher Peters - Austin TX, US
Sean-Marc Castruita - Round Rock TX, US
John Landry - Austin TX, US

International Classification:

G06F 15/00

US Classification:

715522, 715523

Abstract:

A method of sharing logic, such as algorithms, is provided which uses an extensible stylesheet language (XSL) standard as a medium for implementing a distributable algorithm. Using the XSL standard to distribute the shared logic, provides the portability of the XML standard while removing the dependence of the individuals on a specific programming language for processing. Each entity can write an application that receives inputs and provides outputs in a consistent format regardless of the implementation of the XSL.

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709246

Abstract:

A system and method is disclosed for the dynamic load of protocol adapters in a client-server environment. In operation, the client and a coupled data server may have different communications protocols. At startup or run-time, the client accesses a protocol factory and retrieves a protocol adapter that is operable to convert communications between the protocol of the data server and the protocol of the client. The identification of the protocol adapter from the protocol factory is made by testing each protocol adapter on a serial basis to identify the first protocol adapter that is able to convert communications between the protocol of the data server and the protocol of the client.

US Classification:

709230

Abstract:

An improved system and method is disclosed for transparent and agent-less remote access to CIMOMs and the management information they provide, regardless of the CIMOM communication protocol implemented. Differences between disparate CIM object manager (CIMOM) implementations are abstracted to provide clients a common interface when accessing information management data. A protocol layer is implemented that comprises protocol adapters that are dynamically loaded to handle communications with WBEM implementation. Target CIMOM protocols are discovered on-line by the protocol layer, which provides the appropriate interface to transparently convey management information from the CIMOM to the abstraction layer.
