Abstract:
A method for accumulating fault condition data from a hierarchical system is presented comprising monitoring an operation of a component with a computing node that includes a processor and a memory. The memory contains a configuration file comprising failure modes (FM), symptoms, tests that identify the symptoms and a corrective action for the symptom. The method further comprises populating at least one of the processor and the memory of the computing node with one or more standardized executable application modules (SEAM) and a workflow service. The one or more SEAMS is configured to create a fault condition record by collecting all FMs that manifest the symptom. For all FMs collected, a list of unique symptoms is produced. Further all tests that can identify the listed unique symptoms and all of the corrective actions associated with the FMs that manifest the symptom are determined from the memory device.
Abstract:
A method of automatically generating a fault model from a network diagram comprising parsing a network diagram to identify schematic components and schematic interfaces, mapping each schematic component to a respective standard component, and mapping each schematic interface to a respective standard interface, generating component failure information for each schematic component based on the respective standard component, wherein component failure information includes standard failure modes of the respective standard component, generating interface failure information for each schematic interface based on the respective standard interface, wherein interface failure information includes standard failure modes of the respective standard interface, and constructing a fault model specific to the network diagram based on component failure information and interface failure information.
Abstract:
Methods, apparatus and computer readable media are provided for reverse editing a knowledge base from a cross tab display. A cross tab editor includes a knowledge base resident in a memory device, the knowledge base comprising attribute values and a knowledge base management system, wherein the knowledge base management system is configured to create a first list of sub-entities for a first entity, create a second list of sub-entities for a second entity, and create a relationship table listing all of the combinations of each pair of sub-entities from the first list and the second list and their attribute values. The knowledgebase management system is further configured to populate the relationship table with an attribute value for each combination. The knowledge base management system is further configured to receive a manual change in a cross tab display and to update the underlying attribute data in response to the change.
Abstract:
Methods are provided for creating a complex user interface using a generic computer readable database software application to manage only a specific data subset domain of the database in accordance with a work package. The method comprises creating metadata defining a data subset domain, the metadata including a task specification, a report specification and a view specification and defining attribute metadata, entity metadata and relationship metadata for the data subset domain. The method also comprises data package specification for the data subset domain, specifying a data package hierarchy within the data subset domain, specifying user groups for the data subset domain, specifying view specifications for the user groups. Further the view specification is associated with the task specification and the report specification after which the generic software application is released to a user.
