Abstract:
A system and method of discovering one or more program variable values may extract an abstract interpretation of a program variable used in a computer program, locate installation-specific repositories associated with the computer program, parse the located installation-specific repositories and extract one or more configuration parameters, and substitute the one or more configuration parameters into the extracted abstract interpretation.
Abstract:
The present invention describes a method and system for discovering of server devices. The system and method receive a list of known server devices. The system and method obtain middleware configuration data and/or log files for each of the known server devices in the list. The system and method derives dependencies on at least one other server device from the middleware configuration data and/or log files. The system and method determines whether the at least one other server device is a new server device not included in the list. Thus, the system and method discovers the new server device upon determining that the at least one other server device is not included in the list.

Abstract:
A system and method for parallel discovery includes grouping a set of nodes including redundant information. After a first discovery stage, a portion of the set of nodes is selected to perform an additional discovery stage. The additional discovery stage is performed with the portion of the set of nodes where each node makes a decision whether to perform the additional stage or not.
Abstract:
The present invention includes a computing system for discovering a physical location of a physical server device in a datacenter. The computing system obtains at least one physical property of the physical server device pertaining to the physical location of the physical server device. The computing system acquires at least one logical property of the physical server device pertaining to a logical server name of the physical server device. The computing system correlates the at least one physical property and the at least one logical property. Thereby, the computing system matches the logical server name to the physical location.

Abstract:
A system and method of deriving software use and software data object characteristics determine one or more locations on one or more computer storage devices where one or more configuration and data files associated with computer software components are stored, and obtain one or more attributes associated with said one or more computer software components. One or more commands associated with said one or more computer software components may be issued and one or more related information associated with said one or more software computer components resulting from issuing one or more commands may be collected. The related information and the one or more attributes may be mapped to the computer software components to derive information about the computer software component use and data object use characteristics.
Abstract:
A file system interface is simulated out of at least a portion of a dormant computer system. File-based discovery is performed on the simulated file system interface to obtain a detailed inventory of at least the portion of the dormant computer system. The detailed inventory includes one or more of software profiles of at least the portion of the dormant computer system, software instances of at least the portion of the dormant computer system, services of at least the portion of the dormant computer system, and data objects used by the services.
Abstract:
Automating network reconfiguration such as firewall reconfiguration in migrations may include determining network reconfiguration needs in one or more network functionalities of the target environment based on the discovering; and applying the network reconfiguration needs to the one or more network functionalities in the target environment.
