Abstract:

Provided are a computer implemented method, system, and program for enabling access to information from a device. A device program is generated to access device property information from the device. Each device property indicates a state of the device and the device program includes device specific commands to query the device for information on the device properties and device independent statements common to device programs for other devices to buffer the queried property information to return to requesting clients. The device program is stored in a computer readable medium.

US Classification:

707100, 707 10, 707102, 707103 R, 707200, 707204

Abstract:

A method for managing an asset that includes acquiring an information model request for managing the asset, wherein the information model request is in an information model format, identifying a name and a type of an attribute from the information model request, obtaining a mapping specification entry matching the name and the type of the attribute, translating the information model request from the information model format to a data acquisition (DAQ) format based on the mapping specification entry to create a translated request, managing the asset according to the translated request to obtain management information, and transmitting the management information to an information model.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707 10, 707 4

Abstract:

A method for gathering management information about an asset that includes receiving a first request for the management information about the asset, wherein the first request complies with the information model format, identifying a data acquisition (DAQ) definition for the DAQ definition complies with the DAQ format, triggering a protocol handler according to the DAQ definition, receiving the management information from the protocol handler about the asset, and updating a cache entry with the management information.

International Classification:

G06Q 40/00

US Classification:

705 36, 705 37

Abstract:

A method for providing management information about an asset includes obtaining a job from a job queue, determining the asset type of the asset from the job, triggering a protocol handler based on a data acquisition (DAQ) definition associated with the asset type and the job, receiving management information about the asset from the protocol handler, identifying at least one registered listener of the management information from the DAQ definition, where at least one registered listener includes an information model class instance, and notifying the at least one registered listener of the management information.

Abstract:

A method for enumerating an asset includes receiving an enumeration request for enumerating an asset, obtaining a data acquisition (DAQ) definition associated with the enumeration request, translating the enumeration request from an information model format to a DAQ format, wherein the DAQ definition complies with the DAQ format, identifying an actual uniform resource identifier (URI) from the DAQ definition based on the enumeration request, where the URI identifies an enumeration mechanism, triggering a protocol handler associated with the enumeration mechanism, and obtaining information about at least one instance of the asset from the protocol handler.

US Classification:

7079991, 707763, 707760, 707765, 709223, 711170

Abstract:

A module possessing a class descriptor declares for the module the supported classes. The installation of the module triggers the examination class information model hierarchies possessed by the container on which the module is installed. Finding the established class information model hierarchies to be lacking with respect to the newly installed supported classes, a query is made to ascertain child-parent information for the newly installed supported classes. Using this information, an ancestry of each class is achieved so as to sparsely populate an information model hierarchy for each newly installed supported class.

International Classification:

G06F 15/173

US Classification:

709223

Abstract:

A method for managing an asset that includes identifying a relative location of a scheme, wherein the scheme is used to manage the asset, creating a relative Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) using the relative location, wherein the relative URI that includes at least one variable, and creating an entry in a native access interface definition, wherein the entry that includes the relative URI, wherein the native asset interface definition is bound to a data acquisition (DAQ) definition, and wherein the DAQ definition is an interface between a protocol handler and an information model, wherein managing the asset is performed using an actual URI to obtain management information, wherein the actual URI is obtained by replacing the at least one variable of the relative URI, and wherein the management information is transmitted to a management application.
