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.

- receiving at least one entry point including an identification of a virtual location on a computer network;
-
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.
- using a processor for determining a structure of at least one application in the computerized organization; and
-
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.
- apparatus for determining a structure of at least one application in the computerized organization; and
-
23. A computer program product, comprising a non-transitory 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.
- receiving at least one entry point including an identification of a virtual location on a computer network;
-
24. A computer program product, comprising a non-transitory computer usable medium having a computer readable program code embodied therein, said computer readable program code adapted to be executed to implement 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.
- using a processor for determining a structure of at least one application in the computerized organization; and
