SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IDENTIFICATION OF APPLICATION INTERDEPENDENCY
A method for identification of application interdependency. The method includes receiving dependency data in a Application Interdependency Identification Tool (AIIT) system, and identifying a plurality of applications and dependency relationships corresponding to the dependency data by a dependency engine. The method also includes displaying the dependency data according to the identified applications and dependency relationships. There is also an AIIT system including a dependency engine and a dependency database. The AIIT system is configured to receive dependency data. The dependency engine is configured to identify a plurality of applications and dependency relationships corresponding to the dependency data and display the dependency data according to the identified applications and dependency relationships.
1 . A method for identification of application interdependency, comprising:
receiving dependency data in a Application Interdependency Identification Tool (AIIT) system;
identifying a plurality of applications and dependency relationships corresponding to the dependency data by a dependency engine; and
displaying the dependency data according to the identified applications and dependency relationships.
2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving, from a user, a selection of at least one application of the plurality of applications.
3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein displaying the dependency data comprises displaying applications with a direct dependency relationship with the selected application.
4 . The method of claim 3 , further comprising sending a notification corresponding to the applications with a direct dependency relationship with the selected application.
5 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the selected application is displayed using a first color, and the applications with a direct dependency relationship with the selected application are displayed using a color different than the first color.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the dependency relationships are identified as one or more of a Component dependency (C), an Interface dependency (I), a Production dependency (P), a Client Data dependency (D), and a Runtime dependency (R).
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein displaying the dependency data includes transmitting the dependency data over a network.
8 . An Application Interdependency Identification Tool (AIIT) system comprising a dependency engine and a dependency database,
wherein the AIIT system is configured to receive dependency data, and
wherein the dependency engine is configured to identify a plurality of applications and dependency relationships corresponding to the dependency data and display the dependency data according to the identified applications and dependency relationships.
9 . The AIIT system of claim 8 ,wherein the dependency engine is also configured to receive, from a user, a selection of at least one application of the plurality of applications.
10 . The AIIT system of claim 9 , wherein displaying the dependency data comprises displaying applications with a direct dependency relationship with the selected application.
11 . The AIIT system of claim 10 , wherein the dependency engine is also configured to send a notification corresponding to the applications with a direct dependency relationship with the selected application
12 . The AIIT system of claim 10 , wherein the selected application is displayed using a first color, and the applications with a direct dependency relationship with the selected application are displayed using a color different than the first color.
13 . The AIIT system of claim 8 , wherein the dependency relationships are identified as one or more of a Component dependency (C), an Interface dependency (I), a Production dependency (P), a Client Data dependency (D), and a Runtime dependency (R).
14 . The AIIT system of claim 8 , wherein displaying the dependency data includes transmitting the dependency data over a network.
15 . A machine-useable medium encoded with machine-useable and executable instructions, comprising:
instructions for receiving dependency data in an Application Interdependency Identification Tool (AIIT) system;
identifying a plurality of applications and dependency relationships corresponding to the dependency data by a dependency engine; and
displaying the dependency data according to the identified applications and dependency relationships.
16 . The machine-useable medium of claim 15 , further comprising:
instructions for receiving, from a user, a selection of at least one application of the plurality of applications.
17 . The machine-useable medium of claim 16 , wherein displaying the dependency data comprises displaying applications with a direct dependency relationship with the selected application.
18 . The machine-useable medium of claim 17 , further comprising instructions for sending a notification corresponding to the applications with a direct dependency relationship with the selected application.
19 . The machine-useable medium of claim 17 , wherein the selected application is displayed using a first color, and the applications with a direct dependency relationship with the selected application are displayed using a color different than the first color.
20 . The machine-useable medium of claim 15 , wherein the dependency relationships are identified as one or more of a Component dependency (C), an Interface dependency (I), a Production dependency (P), a Client Data dependency (D), and a Runtime dependency (R).
21 . The machine-useable medium of claim 15 , wherein displaying the dependency data includes transmitting the dependency data over a network.
