Michael Patrick Bushe - Hopkinton MA, US
Morrie Gasser - Hopkinton MA, US
David Barta - West Roxbury MA, US

Assignee:

EMC Corporation - Hopkinton MA

International Classification:

G06F003/00
G06F009/00
G06F017/00

US Classification:

715734, 715736, 715735, 709223

Abstract:

Methods and apparatus operate in a computer system for managing resources and provide a method for displaying managed object data associated with managed resources. Embodiments of the invention retrieve a data dictionary containing a master view definition, task definitions, view definitions and managed object data definitions. The embodiments then display the master view definition on the graphical user interface and receive a managed object selection and a task selection to apply to the managed object selection. The embodiments then identify a view definition corresponding to the task selection with which to display managed object data related to the managed object selection. The embodiments then display a view corresponding to the at least one view definition on a graphical user interface of the computer system and obtain managed object data related to the managed object selection based upon managed object data references contained in the view definition. The embodiments then display the managed object data related to the managed object selection within the view on the graphical user interface of the computer system.

International Classification:

G06F 3/048

US Classification:

715786, 715784, 715973

Abstract:

Displaying requested data from a database includes providing a display containing a scroll bar with a scroll tab therein, determining a total amount of the requested data, sizing the scroll tab in the scroll bar according to the total amount of the requested data and according to an amount of data displayable in the display, and fetching a predetermined amount of data from a first portion of the database. The predetermined amount may be independent of the size of the display. The predetermined amount may be less than the total amount of the requested data. Sizing the scroll tab may include choosing a size that indicates to a user that all of the requested data is being fetched from the database and/or may include choosing a size that is inversely proportional to the total amount of the request data in response to the total amount of the requested data being less than a predetermined value. Choosing a size may include choosing a predetermined size in response to the total amount of the requested data being greater than the predetermined value.

US Classification:

715738, 715771

Abstract:

Mechanisms and techniques are disclosed that provide a graphical user interface and associated processing operations for performing management of resources in a network environment such as a storage area network. In one configuration, the system displays a plurality of resource tasks in a task display area on a graphical user interface and displays a plurality of resource objects in a resource display area on the graphical user interface. The system then receives a selection of one or more resource tasks identifying function(s) to apply to a selection of resource objects. The system then applies the function(s) associated with each selected resource task to the selection of resource objects to produce a set of resource information and displays the resource information for each resource object view panel(s) in an shared output display area for viewing by a user of the graphical user interface. This allows a user to apply multiple task functions to multiple selected resources and allows a user to display the results for all selected resource objects in a shared output display area.
