System and method for enabling application discovery by automation needs
First Claim
1. A computer method comprising the steps of:
- executing one or more programs resident at one of a local or remote computer site, said programs instantiating a task to be run at various times or repetitively at one of the local or remote computer site;
identifying one or more data relationships that exist between and utilized by one or more applications at one of the local or remote computer site;
determining for each data relationship a respective rank associated with the one or more applications;
launching a portable unit containing an execution file that directs it to find all applications with fields that are related to the relationships;
retrieving at any site located, the relationships based on the degree the respective rank, based on an outlink/inlink ratio, has to the one or more applications, wherein the outlink/inlink includes a number of fields an application consumes or produces;
categorizing each relationship based on a criteria of the interaction;
creating an application wall containing status updates and links to and from applications related to the one of the one or more applications;
constructing an automation map from the links between the one or more applications.

Abstract
This invention generally relates to a process, system and computer code for identifying one or more data relationships that exist between and utilized by one or more applications; determining for each data relationship a respective rank based on specific data that associates the two or more user applications; finding applications based on the degree a respective rank has to one or more user applications; categorizing each relationship based on a criteria of the interaction; creating an application wall containing status updates and links to and from other applications related to the one of the one or more user applications; constructing a automation map from the links between the one or more user applications and other applications.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having store thereon computer-readable instructions for:
- executing one or more programs on one or more programs on one or more local or remote computers, said programs identifying one or more data relationships that exist between and utilized by one or more applications resident on one or more local or remote computers;
determining for each data relationship a respective rank based on specific data that associates the two or more user applications;
launching a portable unit containing an execution file that directs it to find all applications with fields that are related to the requirements;
retrieving at any site located, the same requirements based on the degree a respective rank, based on an outlink/inlink ratio, has to one or more user applications, wherein the outlink/inlink includes a number of fields an application consumes or produces;
categorizing each relationship based on a criteria of the interaction;
creating an application wall containing status updates and links to and from other applications related to the one of the one or more user applications;
constructing an automation map from the links between the one or more user applications and other applications. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)
