    Abstract: Disclosed is a client-server editing model to provide a client side interface to a server side multi-document editor (multi-edit capability) that may be used for editing multiple configuration documents (e.g., device configurations represented as documents) simultaneously. The sever side component may maintain information relating to multiple configuration documents by parsing a plurality of different network device configuration documents to create a set of slots and anchor points relative to locations of related parameter settings within each of the different network device configuration documents. The server side may transmit a condensed view of an area of interest to a remote client device along with location information that may be used to reverse map to original documents. Upon receiving user input a change may be implemented. Throughout the editing session data provided to a client side application could be logically compressed to avoid redundant information from multiple sources being provided.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a method and system to obtain a structured grammar, based on a restricted language (e.g., a known subset of a full language such as a computer language) that may assist with automated parsing and correlation of configuration files conforming to the structured grammar. Once obtained, a plurality of different network device configuration documents (e.g., config file information) may be parsed to create a scaffold view using slots for correlated data across the plurality of different network devices. For example, the scaffold view may include populated branches of the scaffold representative of the plurality of different network device configuration documents. Maintaining a correlation of source data to changes in a single view based on the scaffolding may be used to comprehensively view and edit configuration information.

    Abstract: Disclosed techniques provide just-in-time error detection and correction within a multi-edit session. The multi-edit session may have a scope definition across a subset of devices within a network, each device having a set of network configuration parameters. The system may be implemented, in part, by obtaining a restricted grammar language (RGL) rule set derived from devices on the network within and outside of the edit scope. After detecting an indication of an edit to configuration information, the techniques may compare the edit (e.g., unsaved or saved change) to the RGL. Based on detection of a suspect entry, information may be presented to a user of the multi-edit session. The information may include suggestions or corrections relative to user edits (e.g., just-in-time). The suggestions or corrections may be derived using the RGL based on consistency of the proposed edit with respect to information utilized to generate the RGL.
