1. A method comprising:
- outputting, by a management application, a packet of data the management application is unable to directly process to perform a desired operation;
communicating the output packet of data to a language service application adapted to perform the desired operation;
performing, by the language service application, the desired operation using data of the packet of data to provide operation results; and
inputting the operation results to the management application for processing by the management application using native processing capabilities of the management application.

Abstract
Systems and methods operable to output a packet of data a management application is unable to directly process to perform a desired operation, communicate the output packet of data to a language service application adapted to perform the desired operation, perform the desired operation using data of the packet of data to provide operation results, and, input the operation results to the management application for processing by the management application using native processing capabilities of the management application are disclosed.

10. A system comprising:
-
a management application having an automation language unable to directly perform at least one desired programming construct, the management application operable to accept input of reporting messages, to provide processing of the reporting messages, and to output reporting messages; a language service application operable to perform at least one desired programming construct and to provide output from the performance of at least one desired programming construct; and an Application Programming Interface (API) operable to provide data communication between the management application and the language service application, to accept output of a reporting message from the management application and provide data of the reporting message to the language service application for the performance of at least one desired programming construct, and to accept the output from the performance of at least one desired programming construct and provide data of the performance of at least one desired programming construct to the management application as a reporting message. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
