SERVICE ORIENTED ARCHITECTURE SERVICE DEPENDENCY DETERMINATION

摘要

Service dependency is determined for services in a service oriented architecture (SOA) environment. The steps in determining service dependency include: recording a first triple describing a first service call where the first service calls the second service, and determining the first service is dependent upon the second service based, at least in part, upon the first triple. The recording action is performed dynamically, the recording occurring when the first service call is made. Other related steps include recording the first triple to a timestamp indicating when the first service call is made.

1. A method for determining a set of service dependencies for a specified period of time in a service oriented architecture environment, the method comprising the steps of:
recording, at runtime, a first triple to a first timestamp, the first triple describing a first service call when a first service calls a second service, the first timestamp indicating a first time; recording, at runtime, a second triple to a second timestamp, the second triple describing a second service call when a third service calls a fourth service, the second timestamp indicating a second time; and determining a set of service dependencies for a specified period of time based, at least in part, upon the second triple; wherein: the second time is later in time than the first time; the specified period of time does not include the first time; and at least the recording and determining steps are performed by computer software running on computer hardware.
