System and method for controlling and monitoring an application in a network
First Claim
1. A system for controlling a plurality of applications at remote locations from a central server, said system comprising:
- at one location of said remote locations, a remote application agent for controlling each application of said plurality of applications installed at said one remote location;
a control system installed at said central server; and
configuration data accessible by said application agent and said control system for said each application, wherein said application agent periodically accesses said configuration data to determine operating parameters for said each application;
initiates activation of said each application according to said configuration data;
receives output data from said each application; and
produces a filtered version of said output data and forwards said filtered version to said control system, and said control system receives, reads and stores said filtered data; and
updates said configuration data to refine operation of said each application after analyzing said filtered data.

Abstract
In the invention, a system and method for controlling applications at remote locations from a central server is provided. The system comprises an application agent at one remote location and a control system at the central server. The application agent controls each application installed thereat. There is also configuration data accessible by the application agent and the control system. The application agent periodically accesses the configuration data to determine operating parameters for each application; initiates activation of each application according to the configuration data; receives output data from each application; and produces a filtered version of the output data and forwards the filtered version to the server application. The control system receives, reads and stores the filtered data in an output file; and updates the configuration data to refine operation of said each application after analyzing the filtered data.

12. A method for controlling a plurality of applications at remote locations from a central server, said method comprising:
-
at one location of said remote locations, controlling each application of said plurality of applications installed at said one remote location through an application agent;
providing configuration data associated with said each application at a central location; and
providing a control system to manage updates to said configuration data in response to data provided from said application agent, wherein said application agent periodically accesses said configuration data to determine operating parameters for said each application;
initiates activation of said each application according to said configuration data;
receives output data from said each application; and
produces a filtered version of said output data and forwards said filtered version to said server application, and said control system receives, reads and stores said filtered data; and
updates said configuration data to refine operation of said each application after analyzing said filtered data. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
