Systems and methods for business network management discovery and consolidation
View Patent ↗According to some embodiments, a plurality of interconnected entities may be discovered in a network landscape. A subset of the entities may then be automatically consolidated into a business participant, the consolidating may performed in accordance with at least one rule based algorithm. A business process landscape, including the business participant, may then be generated and/or displayed to an operator.
1. A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing program code executable by a computer to perform a method, said method comprising:
identifying a plurality of unique hosts and systems in a landscape of interconnected systems;
determining incoming to and outgoing calls from each system based on source models;
determining message flows from each system based on outgoing calls;
determining message flows to each system based on incoming calls;
merging call graphs for the systems to create a business process network of the landscape; and
linking message flows, application content, and integration content for the business process network.
2. The medium of claim 1 , wherein said identifying is associated with a source model.
3. The medium of claim 1 , wherein the determination of incoming calls is based at least in part on incoming call configuration information.
4. A method comprising:
identifying, by a computer, a plurality of unique hosts and systems in a landscape of interconnected systems;
determining, by a computer, incoming to and outgoing calls from each system based on source models;
determining, by a computer, message flows from each system based on outgoing calls;
determining, by a computer, message flows to each system based on incoming calls;
merging, by a computer, call graphs for the systems to create a business process network of the landscape; and
linking, by a computer, message flows, application content, and integration content for the business process network.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein said identifying is associated with a source model.
6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the determination of incoming calls is based at least in part on incoming call configuration information.
7. Apparatus comprising:
a network management server that includes a computer and is to:
identify a plurality of unique hosts and systems in a landscape of interconnected systems;
determine incoming to and outgoing calls from each system based on source models;
determine message flows from each system based on outgoing calls;
determine message flows to each system based on incoming calls;
merge call graphs for the systems to create a business process network of the landscape; and
link message flows, application content, and integration content for the business process network.
8. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein said identify is associated with a source model.
9. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the determine incoming calls is based at least in part on incoming call configuration information.
