20090125846 | Facility to Show Secondary Relationships in a Topological Graph Using an Associated View - A method, system, and computer program product for identifying the relationships between managed resources and displaying these relationships and resources in an interactive computerized system. A Relationships Display and Highlight (RDH) utility provides both an interactive view of a primary relationship via a topological graph and an interactive associated view to highlight the secondary relationships between a set of managed resources. The RDH utility links the graphical view to the associated view by displaying and/or highlighting the resources in the graphical view when secondary relationships are interactively explored in the associated view. When a secondary relationship is selected via the associated view, each resource which participates directly in the selected secondary relationship is highlighted, within the topological graph. When a resource is selected via the primary view, the RDH utility identifies a set of relationships in the associated view in which the resource participates. | 05-14-2009 |
20090132936 | Message Flow Interactions for Display in a User Interface - Display of message flow interactions corresponding to service invocations in a computing environment based on a service-oriented distributed computing model.

A user obtains a high-level, in-context view of the as-observed interactions among service operation instances, and may drill down for further details. A presentation to the user can be automatically scoped to the set of services which are observed as interacting (i.e., via their call relationships), so that the user can be shown that part of the environment that is immediately relevant to a context in which the user launches the view. | 05-21-2009 |

Spatial consistency may be maintained by displaying the resource groupings in order by their index value, and this order may be maintained over time as the displaying is repeated. The resources in the groupings may correspond to nodes and links in message flows. Preferably, the resources are dynamically determined by observation of their interactions, such as observing the participation of nodes and links in message flows. | 05-21-2009 |
