US 10,095,220 B1 · Modifying user tools to include control code for implementing a common control layer

Abstract

In certain embodiments, multiple user tools each comprise a script program implementing an operation for addition to a respective compiled software program deployed within a computing environment. A memory module stores control code for insertion into computer code of a particular user tool. The control code implements a common control layer, implementing control modules across the user tools. The control modules include access control for controlling access to the user tool, change control for controlling modification of the user tool, and version control for controlling use of an appropriate version of the user tool. A processor receives the particular user tool; to create a controlled particular user tool, automatically modifies, the computer code of the particular user tool to add the control code; and deploys the controlled particular user tool for use in the computing environment in a manner controlled by the control code of the controlled particular user tool.

Dependent claims

A system, comprising:

one or more processing systems, user computer systems, application server systems or storage modules, the system comprising memory comprising programmed instructions stored thereon and one or more processors configured to be capable of executing the stored programmed instructions to:
receive a user tool of a plurality of user tools, the plurality of user tools each comprising a script program;
determine when the received user tool is previously modified to include one or more control codes;
identify at least one of the one or more control codes to be inserted in the user tool based on analyzing the script program of the user tool, when the determination indicates that the received user tool is not previously modified to include one or more control codes;
automatically modify, the script program of the user tool by inserting the at least one of the identified control code in the script program of the user tool to create a controlled user tool;
and
deploy the created controlled user tool in a computing environment.

4 more elements

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions for modifying user tools for implementing a common control layer comprising executable code which when executed by one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to:

receive a user tool of a plurality of user tools, the plurality of user tools each comprising a script program;
determine when the received user tool is previously modified to include one or more control codes;
identify at least one of the one or more control codes to be inserted in the user tool based on analyzing the script program of the user tool, when the determination indicates that the received user tool is not previously modified to include one or more control codes;
automatically modify, the script program of the user tool by inserting the at least one of the identified control code in the script program of the user tool to create a controlled user tool and;
deploy the created controlled user tool in a computing environment.
