SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING A TOPOLOGY OF AT LEAST ONE APPLICATION IN A COMPUTERIZED ORGANIZATION
First Claim
1. A computerized method for determining a structure of at least one application in a computerized organization, the method comprising:
- receiving at least one entry point including an identification of a virtual location on a computer network;
for each entry point,receiving a determination of an individual applicative component that processes data arriving through that entry point;
identifying at least some communicating entry points through which the first applicative component communicates with additional applicative components; and
for each of said at least some communicating entry points, using a processor for determining the applicative component that processes data arriving through that communicating entry point; and
providing at least a portion of a structure including;
applicative components associated with the application and information with regard to which of said applicative component communicates with which.

Abstract
A computerized method for determining a structure of at least one application in a computerized organization, the method comprising receiving at least one entry point including an identification of a virtual location on a computer network; for each entry point, receiving a determination of an individual applicative component that processes data arriving through that entry point; identifying at least some communicating entry points through which the first applicative component communicates with additional applicative components; and for each of the at least some communicating entry points, using a processor for determining the applicative component that processes data arriving through that communicating entry point; and providing at least a portion of a structure including: applicative components associated with the application and information with regard to which of the applicative component communicates with which.

20. A computerized re-discovery method for a computerized organization including a multiplicity of applications, the method comprising:
-
using a processor for determining a structure of at least one application in the computerized organization; and using said structure to re-discover only a selected subset of applications that are of interest from among the multiplicity of applications, rather than re-determining the structures of all of said multiplicity of applications of which many are not of interest.

21. A computerized re-discovery system for a computerized organization including a multiplicity of applications, the system comprising:
-
apparatus for determining a structure of at least one application in the computerized organization; and re-discovery apparatus employing a processor for using said structure to re-discover only a selected subset of applications that are of interest, from among the multiplicity of applications, rather than re-determining the structures of all of said multiplicity of applications of which many are not of interest.

22. A computerized system for determining a structure of at least one application in a computerized organization, the system comprising:
-
a recursive entry point identifier operative, for each entry point from among at least one entry point including an identification of a virtual location on a computer network, for receiving a determination of an individual applicative component that processes data arriving through that entry point and for identifying at least some communicating entry points through which the first applicative component communicates with additional applicative components; and a structure generator operative, for each of said at least some communicating entry points, to use a processor for determining the applicative component that processes data arriving through that communicating entry point; and for providing at least a portion of a structure including; applicative components associated with the application and information with regard to which of said applicative component communicates with which.

24. A computer program product, comprising a computer usable medium having a computer readable program code embodied therein, said computer readable program code adapted to be executed to implement a computerized method for determining a structure of at least one application in a computerized organization, the method comprising:
-
receiving at least one entry point including an identification of a virtual location on a computer network; for each entry point, receiving a determination of an individual applicative component that processes data arriving through that entry point; identifying at least some communicating entry points through which the first applicative component communicates with additional applicative components; and for each of said at least some communicating entry points, using a processor for determining the applicative component that processes data arriving through that communicating entry point; and providing at least a portion of a structure including; applicative components associated with the application and information with regard to which of said applicative component communicates with which.
