Abstract
Data available in a system is identified. Each data is categorized as a scalar data or a tabular data. The tabular data is associated with data from a table and the scalar data is not. Each data is further categorized as a parameter data or a statistic data. The statistic data is pulled from the system. The parameter data is either pulled from the system or pushed to the system. The data is grouped into groups based on logical relationships of data in the groups. A blank form is developed for each group of data. Each blank form has one or more fields defined to accommodate the data in the group. Using the blank form, the data is pushed to the system and to pulled from the system.
Claims44
A method, comprising:
- identifying data available in a system, each data categorized as a scalar data or a tabular data, wherein the tabular data is associated with data from a table and the scalar data is not, each data is further categorized as a parameter data or a statistic data, wherein the statistic data is pulled from the system, and wherein the parameter data is either pulled from the system or pushed to the system;
- grouping the data into groups based on logical relationships of data in the groups;
- developing a blank form for each group of data, each blank form having one or more fields defined to accommodate the data in the group;
- and
- using the blank form to push the parameter data to the system and to pull the parameter data or the statistic data from the system.
A computer readable medium having stored thereon sequences of instructions which are executable by a digital processing system, and which, when executed by the digital processing system, cause the system to perform a method comprising:
- identifying data available in a system, each data categorized as a scalar data or a tabular data, wherein the tabular data is associated with data from a table and the scalar data is not, each data is further categorized as parameter data or a statistic data, wherein the statistic data is pulled from the system, and wherein the parameter data is either pulled from the system or pushed to the system;
- grouping the data into groups based on logical relationships of data in the groups;
- developing blank forms for each group of data, each blank form having one or more field defined to accommodate the data in the group;
- and
- using the blank form to push data to the system and to pull data from the system.
A method, comprising:
- identifying one or more data items available in a system, each of the data items is defined as a scalar data item or a tabular data item, wherein each of the data items is further defined as a statistic data item or a parameter data item, the tabular data item associated with a table;
- identifying a set of actions available in the system, the set of actions processing the data items in the system;
- mapping each action in the set of actions to a method, wherein the method is used when a command is issued to the system from outside the system, the command being in a set of commands used by applications to interact with the system, wherein the commands are independent of the system;
- pushing the data items to the system using commands that send parameter data items;
- and
- pulling the data items from the system using commands that send parameter data items or statistic data items from the system.
