Movement is naturally essential to life, especially in health. My family likes to explore movement by playing sports and participating in charity walks together. I have been running and walking in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, De-FEET Breast Cancer 5K Run/Walk, JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes, and the American Diabetes Association's STEP OUT Walk to Stop Diabetes since before I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes and Graves' Disease at the age of 13. Movement is not just important to life in general, but it is also important to my life and well-being, and I intend to share that with the world through my art.View Full Text

News from Upstate
Kathleen Paice 315 464-4839
Upstate Golisano Children's Hospital works to protect community against flu and pertussis
Upstate Golisano Children's Hospital is offering free flu and pertussis vaccinations and education to families registering for this year's Salvation Army Christmas Bureau. In its third year, the program has vaccinated more than 1,200 local adults and children.
"We expect to vaccinate approximately 500 people this year," said Manika Suryadevara, MD, lead author of the study and assistant professor of pediatric infectious diseases at Upstate Golisano Children's Hospital. "This offers us a chance to increase vaccination rates and decrease the spread of both flu and pertussis within our community. The cost is free and because families are already attending the Christmas Bureau registration, we are able to vaccinate them without an extra trip to see their family physicians. To improve access for families is key," said Suryadevara.
"Vaccinations have prevented nearly one hundred million infections over the last century," said Joseph Domachowske, MD, professor of pediatrics at Upstate Golisano Children's Hospital and co-investigator of the study. The flu shot is recommended for those 6 months of age and older. The pertussis vaccination is recommended at 2, 4 and 6 months, with a booster at 15 to 18 months and another booster between the ages of 4 to 6. We are offering the adult booster vaccine for anyone who has not yet received it.
In addition to the free vaccines, Upstate is inviting families to participate in a research study designed to educate the community about pertussis, also known as whooping cough, and the vaccine to prevent pertussis. Half the participants will complete a survey and the other half will watch a video about pertussis. The study will examine the impact education alone has on the number of adults being vaccinated, versus education combined with watching the video.
Advance registration is required for the Salvation Army Christmas Bureau. Registration was held at the Oncenter, 800 South State St., Syracuse, N.Y.

It's easy to see why Simon Cowell was eager to add Britney Spears to his panel of "The X Factor" judges.
The "Toxic" singer, 30, officially announced her participation in the show during the FOX Upfront event in New York on Monday. Spears slipped into a body-hugging, white minidress and Giuseppe Zanotti shoes to join Cowell, 52, L.A. Reid, 55, and new judge Demi Lovato, 19, on stage.

"I am so excited about this whole experience. It's going to be so much fun and so different from anything I've ever done," Spears told the crowd. "I'm ready to find the true star."
PHOTOS: Britney Spears, then and now
Spears -- engaged to Jason Trawick, 40, since December -- changed into another sexy number backstage, opting for a purple Alexander Wang minidress. "I couldn't be more excited to join The 'X Factor' judging panel. I'm a huge fan of the show and now I get to be a part of the action," she told Us Weekly in a statement Monday. "Simon and L.A. better watch out!"
Also on display: Spears' 3-carat Neil Lane engagement ring, worth an estimated $90,000!
Lovato, who recently dyed her hair blond, turned heads in a colorful design by Falguni & Shane Peacock. "I am totally stoked to be here," she exclaimed. "I'm excited to represent my generation."
PHOTOS: Demi Lovato through the years
Spears and Lovato have replaced former judges Paula Abdul, 49, and Nicole Scherzinger, 33, who were fired from "The X Factor" in January. Ex-host Steve Jones' replacement has yet to be announced.

Good Hotel in Kinsale
I stayed here this past weekend and it was a great experience. The hotel is just across the room from Kinsale Harbour. The facilities were great but I had a mad/weird experience in my hotel room - 312. I was moving the chair to get to an iron and once I lifted the chair, a whole load of water came out of it. I thought that I was seeing things and had to ring down to the reception to get someone to confirm that I was not seeing things. Such a funny experience.
I would recommend this hotel to anyone who stays in Kinsale as the staff were brilliant and helped me in anyway.
Unique Quality: The view of Kinsale harbour from room 312 was amazing. The bed was kingsize - never seen a bed like that before. The pool was great with an amazing outdoor hottub. The food was lovely and not too expensive.
Directions: You have to get a bus from Cork Bus Station in the Number 10 Depot. It brings you right to Kinsale and stops about 500 yards from Acton's Hotel
"Nice Views & Convienent Location"
All the hotels you will find in Kinsale are older, this one is one of the ones we have stayed at on 2 occasions. They are in the process of refurbishing this one right now and the main level is beautiful! We did not stay here this last trip, but did go inside. They have opened up the downstairs more and redid everything and it is lovely. I'm not sure if they will be working on the rooms soon or if they allready have. Based on our stay last year, each room has it's own insuite bathrrom. The only drawback on the bathroom is the weird glass door that swings out and doesn't extend to the end of the tub, so they have the water pressure to the shower lowered to avoid water getting on the floor (which it still does). The room itself is nice sized with chairs for comfort and all rooms have their own electric tea kettle and the items necessary for making tea in your room. The rooms on the front overlook the harbor and have a nice view. The windows are a little high though. They serve a wonderful breakfast in the dining room down stairs, try the porridge! It is really good with some of the brown sugar on top! They also have serve lunch in the bar area and dinner in the bar area and the Captains Table Restaurant on premises. Very convenient to walking down to the center of Kinsale or all around.
Unique Quality: Pool, fitness facilities, Rooms on front have nice views, convenient location.
76 bedrooms ( 20 family ) Lift, parking, sport and leisure facilities
Unique Quality: Overlooking the waterfront and marina. It has a bar, bistro reastaurant and lounge, the bedrooms are very good.

Gravewrecker's Satchel Radio Reskin7 years ago Weapons Skin 6 comments
A sex reskin of the pack's satchel radio. It's amazing! Download it and place it in your models folder. It replaces 2 models: the p and v model. Enjoy!
The Diamond Half-Life final is a Super Definition Pack for Half-Life, replacing a wide selection of models, sprites, sounds. Provides full Single and Multi-Player support for the default Half-Life one game, which means this does not create a new modification, but greatly improves the basic files of the original classic game. This pack was designed for Steam Users, but many of it's files can be used for the WON version.
This pack features:
1. 173 Models
2. 87 Sprites
3. 312 Sounds
4. New Splash
5. Game Startup Music
6. Detail Textures
7. New Decals WAD
8. Bots for Offline Mode
USA: Files.filefront.com
France: Nhllbg.com
Canada: Hitmodel.half-lifecreations.com
1. right click on the winRAR file, and click on "extract files to..."
2. find your directory through steam > steamapps > and you username. Click on your username and press "OK"
3. you are unpacked, but you are NOT ready to play Single Player. Go find your "valve" folder, where all your models, sprites, sounds and jazz are, and find the "liblist.gam." This file allows botplay, BUT DISABLES SINGLE PLAYER GAMES FROM LOADING. Delete this file to play single player. If you want to play with bots, keep the file there and make your own server and load bots by typing "rcbot addbot" in your server. KEEP IN MIND THAT BECAUSE YOU HAVE YOUR LIBLIST IN THE VALVE FOLDER, YOU PREVENT SINGLE PLAYER. JUST DELETE IT IF YOU WANNA' PLAY SINGLE PLAYER MODE.

it doesn't work :( i delete the "liblist.gam" file but it doesn't work
Can I get this to work with Blue Shift unlocked? For some reason, I can get the DiamonD HUD, but I still get the standard HD models.
Well WOULD have been a GREAT mod if it worked...
I clicked New Game and then any difficulty and it doesn't load the map.
I checked the console and this is what it said
Host_Error: Couldn't get DLL API from !
Is there ANY way to fix it?
Well i got the same problem.But today is your lucky day :).Go to your folder where you installed Half Life and The Diamond Pack on the Valve folder Locate liblist.gam file delete it or save any where on Local Disk D or in my Documents XD well just delete liblist.gam and it will work fine i did that too and it worked 8D
Did you remove the liblist file?
can you make the Startup music part into an addon for TFC?
Using this removes some sprites in tfc. I don't know what to change in this folder. From all the sprites folder of this mod I need just the crosshairs. What should I do?
i encountered a problem were th crosshairs have a black box around them like they are a separate image on the screen. I have the WON version could that have something to do with it?
When i had WON, i had the same problem.
Just turn of the crosshair(options)
Or just get the steam version of half life
could you do one little thing?
remake the weapon's with Adrian Shepherd hands and Barney's hands with blue sleeves :D

excellent! Is the script available?
New theme for the proxy list script that was made by ProxyCoder.
ProxyCoder doesn't seem to be around anymore. I think the script is good.
The theme uses the Cool Blue template from Style Shout.
I will be releasing the theme shortly.
Maybe it will bring this script back to life since I haven't found any other custom themes for it and the default theme, well, looks like crap.
What do you think?
You can get a demo of the theme @ ProxyGuru.com - List of Fresh New Proxy Sites.
excellent! Is the script available?
Awesome script! Keep it up man!
Thanks for good tips. but proxyguru.com is expire domain please check,

Soaps Using Innovative Marketing for Online Revivals
Soaps Using Innovative Marketing for Online Revivals
"You took my children and I want them back."
That was the cryptic message on a billboard along Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles last month that was part of a multi-million dollar marketing push for the online revival beginning Monday of soap operas One Life To Live and All My Children.
Both had been staples of broadcast TV for more than four decades before they were canceled by ABC in 2011. Now the marketing challenge is not only to bring back their mostly female audience and attract new, younger viewers, but also to convince them to watch the programs on Hulu or buy them in iTunes.

The billboard was a tease intended to build buzz and signal this soap opera revival was different. And it did just that, says executive producer Jeff Kwatinetz, who with partner Rich Frank runs Prospect Park, the privately held management and production company that licensed the shows from ABC and has reinvented them as four times a week half hours (on ABC they each ran for one hour).
"The billboard didn't provide an immediate connection to All My Children but we think it was fun and it showed some attitude," says Kwatinetz. "And people began to immediately tweet pictures of the billboard and began writing about it."
The effort to make these soaps pioneers in the switch from old to new media has been innovative not just in the distribution model but also in how they have been selling it using a robust mix of old and new media.
The traditional part of the plan has included the purchase of print ads in Parade, TV Guide, US Weekly, Soap Opera Digest and Soaps In Depth. There has also been a national campaign of radio advertising along with on-air promotions and contests on pop stations like Z100 in New York City with prizes including a walk-on role in one of the soap operas, set visits, and trips to New York for a screening of the soaps by I Heart Radio and a red carpet premiere on the NYU campus held earlier this week.

They have also bought time on cable TV and digital channels. In addition, they have generated publicity by sending stars from the soaps (many of whom were on the ABC version) to appear on Entertainment Tonight, Wendy Williams, Access Hollywood and elsewhere. The marketing plan has also seen ad time bought on TV networks although they ran into resistance from some.
The real innovations have gone beyond the traditional however. The show's makreting has expanded into new media, social networking and grassroots marketing, which has included in person visits to night clubs, college coffee shops, book stores, Laundromats, restaurants, beauty parlors and elsewhere, where randed t-shirts, post cards and other materials have been handed out.
"I believe we're the first premium television launching online in an ad-supported way," says Kwatinetz. "HBO, Showtime and Netflix have done it but we believe we're the first mainstream content that is advertiser based and online to do this."
"[The shows are] innovative conceptually and overall," adds Kwatinetz, "and a lot of our advertising is innovative as well. Until now no one has really done what were doing."
Digital and social media have been integral to the re-launch. Cast members have been encouraged to post on their Facebook pages and to tweet. The marketing has incorporated an aggressive plan involving Instragram, Tumblr, Get Glue, Google and YouTube -- where Prospect Park has posted promotional and behind the scenes videos from the production.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates, in general, to software upgrades in computer systems and in distributed computer networks, and, more particularly, to a system and method for analyzing an existing computer system or network to quantify potential difficulties in performing an upgrade from a current version to a newer version of the software in each or a combination of the four categories, namely operating system or operating environment, development tools, middleware, and application programs. This invention further describes tools to analyze binaries or executable programs and other features of the computer system or network to quantify or better categorize such difficulties or risks, and to effectively report such quantified risks in a manner that is readily understandable by and useful to a manager of the computer system in determining whether to make a move to the newer software version and what initial or preparation steps to perform as part of the upgrade.
2. Relevant Background
New versions of software are released and distributed regularly by software developers to provide new and enhanced software features and to address the ongoing innovations and changes in related software, in available hardware, in networking and communication technologies (such as the Internet), and in security requirements and technologies. In the software industry, the current trend is to provide updates or new versions for key software products every six months, with each new version incorporating improvements and enhancements. Hence, an important task facing computer system operators is determining when and how to make the move from an older version of a software product to a newly released version.
Unfortunately, the decision of when and how to perform a software upgrade is complicated by a number of factors. Computer systems can be very large and complex including multiple networks, varied geographic locations, and hundreds or thousands of computer and electronic devices. A large and daunting task faced by most computer system operators is to fully understand the hardware and software that make up their current system. Different levels of software are used in most computer systems, including the four categories, namely operating system or environment software, development tool software, middleware software, and application software. Software in each of these levels may be upgraded individually or in combination often with the functioning, via interfaces, shared libraries, and the like, of a particular software product affecting or relying on the operation of software products in other levels. In other words, an upgrade or change to one software product most likely will affect the operation of other software products.
An important consideration for a system manager making upgrade decisions is maintaining binary compatibility for applications built to run on earlier releases. When binaries (or executables) are not compatible or are at risk of incompatibility with an upgraded version of software, the software customer or system manager faces a dilemma. Even though a new release may be desirable from a function standpoint, the software customer may not desire to make the move if a large investment is required to revise and update numerous existing binaries to work within the upgraded environment and may decide to postpone one or more upgrades. Often worse, the software customer may simply fear the unknown or potential problems if risks of incompatibility or failure of existing binaries after the upgrade are not well defined or understood.
System managers face a challenge in balancing the demands for a highly effective and functional computer system, that urges toward performing each available upgrade, against expectations of a highly-available system and network with no or little downtime and architectural continuity, that urges toward only performing lower or no risk upgrades. System managers want to make software upgrade that can be performed smoothly without sacrificing existing investments in built binaries and other levels of software. Extensive testing is typically performed by software upgrade providers to minimize risks of implementing an upgrade but the mission critical nature of a customer's system or environment with multi-vendor supplied software applications requires careful planning, risk and benefit assessment, and detailed analysis of application binaries that may impact a successful upgrade. Further, complicating the upgrade decision and process is the fact that prior decisions to postpone upgrades often results in existing versions of software being not just one version earlier than the upgrade but instead many versions behind.
Existing system analysis and upgrade tools are not fully effective in allowing system operators and software upgrade providers to understand the effects and risks associated with performing a software upgrade on a particular computer system. For example, some hardware and software inventory tools have been developed that work to create an inventory of hardware and software in a computer system. These inventory tools create a large volume of general information or metadata for a system that is often too large in volume and too general in nature to be readily used in planning or analyzing a software upgrade. Binary analysis tools have also been developed for use in planning an upgrade. One such tool compares a binary with the new or upgraded software to provide a verification or determine a relatively low risk that the binary will operate or run with the upgraded software. While useful on a case-by-case basis, this tool does not quantify the binaries on a system or provide analysis of binaries that are not verified as compatible (i.e., higher or medium risk binaries). Other binary analysis tools act to quantify binaries on a computer system, such as by providing a total number of binaries, a number of safe or very low risk binaries, and a number of at-risk or higher risk binaries. However, the wealth or volume of information may overwhelm a system manager and not be particularly useful in deciding whether to perform an upgrade. For example, the total number of binaries in a departmental data center environment may be fifty to one hundred thousand or more and at-risk or medium risk binaries may number well into the thousands (even for relatively simple upgrades). This large, raw number of potentially incompatible or affected binaries is often simply unmanageable by a software customer and often results in the customer making the decision to not perform an upgrade because the reward of improved system performance does not appear worth the potential affect on built binaries.
Hence, there remains a need for an improved method and/or system for analyzing and defining the effects of a software upgrade on an existing computer system and existing binaries. Such a method and system would preferably function to better quantify the impact of an upgrade on application binaries and, significantly, to qualify such impact in a manner that assist a software customer in deciding whether or not to perform a software upgrade. In some cases, the method and system would further function to identify particular binaries or groups of binaries that can be revised to better perform the upgrade and would also report binary impact analysis results in a user-friendly manner to facilitate informed decision processes by a software customer.
The present invention addresses the above discussed and additional problems by providing an upgrade analysis system that functions to provide an improved method for analyzing an impact of performing a software upgrade on a computer system or network of computer devices. The upgrade analysis system includes tools, such as software devices or objects, for analyzing a configuration inventory or profile metadata for the computer system to identify incompatible portions of the computer system, to quantify risks and levels of effort for corrections, to qualify risks (especially to binaries in the computer system), and to generate impact analysis reports in text or graphical format that quickly impart quantified and qualified impacts of the upgrade.
More particularly, a method is provided for analyzing an impact on binaries of a computer system due to a planned software upgrade. The method includes performing or simply accessing a configuration inventory for the computer system. The configuration inventory includes profiles for the computer system of hardware, software including operating system software, middleware, applications, development tools, and third party software, application interfaces, and binaries. Based on the particular planned software upgrade, a set of upgrade rules (e.g., rules defining hardware and software requirements including interfaces, libraries, dependencies, and more) are developed, loaded, or simply accessed.
The binary profiles are then analyzed based on the upgrade rules to define a set of safe or very low risk binaries and at-risk (e.g., medium risk or at least higher than very low risk) binaries. The at-risk binaries are further divided into subcategories based on risks of incompatibility with the planned software upgrade and/or based on importance of the binary to operation of the customer system. The subcategories in some embodiments include failure binaries, high risk binaries, and low risk binaries. A level of effort for correcting or modifying the binaries can also be determined as well as a listing of recommended courses of actions to remedy identified impacts or potential problems. The method may further include generating text or graphical reports providing the analysis reports. The reports may provide risk qualification information by providing information about the relative numbers of binaries in each of the at-risk categories and levels of effort to correct each category. The reports may be generated based on an overall customer system basis, on a binary-by-binary or groups of binary basis, on the basis of a subset of the customer system such as business division, geographic location, data center, and other useful divisions, and on another basis useful for effectively providing impact analysis information.
Briefly stated, the present invention addresses prior problems in analyzing and reporting potential impacts of a software upgrade on a customer system. The present invention provides a method (and underlying tools and devices) to qualify and quantify the impact of a planned software upgrade on existing application and other binaries (e.g., previously engineered and implemented executables) presently being used in the customer computer system or distributed computing environment. The upgrade impact analysis involves creating an "as-is" picture or inventory of the customer system including hardware configurations, application interfaces, implemented software (such as operating system or environment, middleware, independent software vendor products, development tools, applications, and the like), and application libraries and binaries. This metadata from or inventory of the customer system is then analyzed based on rules or information from the planned, new environment (i.e., upgrade rules based on the planned software upgrade or new version) to determine the impact on and/or readiness of the customer system for the planned upgrade.
More particularly, the binaries are screened (such as with the combined or individual use of regression analysis and knowledge management) based on the upgrade rules to classify or categorize the binaries into "safe" or, more accurately, very low risk binaries, i.e., binaries which will operate unaffected within the upgraded system, and binaries that are not classified as very low risk or safe binaries, which can be thought of as "at risk" binaries. The at-risk binaries are further categorized based on known customer priorities and on severities of potential problems that may arise if a binary fails to run perform as expected. In one embodiment, the at-risk binaries are categorized into the following categories: low risk for binaries that are anticipated to be unaffected or to require a relatively low level of effort to correct; high risk for binaries in which the binary may be affected and/or require a higher level of effort to correct; and failure for binaries that are expected to fail to operate after the upgrade and for which at least some effort is known to be required to address a problem. The analysis method typically includes the generation of one or more reports that depict in readily understood fashion the results of the impact analysis (such as by quantifying and qualifying the binaries, providing an indication of risk by system and an indication of level of effort on an overall basis and at a system level, and showing dependencies in graph or tabular form).
To provide a better understanding of the present invention, the upgrade impact analysis method or process is described as being provided by an upgrade analysis system to a customer system in a networked computing environment, as shown in
The customer system 110 may take many forms and include a wide variety of hardware and software technologies. The customer system 110 is intended to represent an enterprise system found within a typical business entity or organization and, as such, may include one or more data centers, numerous personal computers or workstations linked by networks to one or more application servers, storage devices, and network servers, or nearly any configuration typically found in enterprise systems. The machines of the customer system 110 may be located in one geographic area or spread across numerous geographic sites and may be further divided or organized by business division or enterprise functions. Further, although one customer system 110 is shown for ease of description, the upgrade analysis system 150 generally could support and provide analysis services to numerous customer systems, similar to or differing from system 110.
The customer system 110 includes hardware 112 including one or more CPUs, memory devices (such as disks, tapes, and the like), drivers, communication connections, and other hardware devices. The customer system 110 further includes an operating system to manage operation of the system 110, such as managing libraries (such as application libraries 126 in memory 124), public and private interfaces, and drivers, controlling multitasking, handling input and output to memory devices and peripheral devices, and performing job scheduling. Middleware 116 also is provided to provide an interface(s) between applications on computer system 110 and control programs (such as operating system 114, network control programs and database management systems (not shown)). The customer system 110 includes application interfaces 118 including, but not limited to, application program interfaces (APIs) that are used by applications to communicate with other applications or programs (for example, calls made by an application to the operating system 114, a messaging system, or a database management system (or memory 124)) and application binary interfaces (ABIs) defining machine language of the CPU in the hardware 112, calls between applications and the operating system 114, and other operating characteristics of the system 110.
Applications and third party software 120 operate on the customer system to facilitate data entry, data management, communication, and data display (e.g., any data processing, productivity, or other software program). Development tools (e.g., any software that assists in the creation of machines or software) may be included in the applications and third party software. Memory devices and data structures 124 store data and are accessible by the hardware 112, operating system 114, middleware 116, and applications and third party software 120. Application and other libraries 126 are provided for storing data accessed during operation of the system 110 and static and dynamic links are used by applications and other devices in accessing the application libraries 126. Binaries 128, e.g., executable programs in machine language, for the applications on the system 110 are shown to be stored in the memory 124 with instances, not shown, running on the system 110. Binaries 128 can be costly to build and often represent an important aspect of the customer system 110 for providing function and services. As will become clear, the upgrade analysis system 150 operates to effectively quantify and qualify the binaries 128 and potential impacts of a software upgrade (e.g., an upgrade to a newer version or different product for the operating system 114, for middleware 116, or applications or third party software 120 including development tools) on the customer system 110.
The system 110 applications, operating system 114, middleware 116, and third party software and system applications 120 typically have a version associated with them (the most recent version or an earlier version) and each typically utilizes particular, and often differing, libraries and library links and interfaces (as illustrated as application interfaces 118) and drivers, as appropriate. Together these and other unique features of the hardware 112, operating system 114, middleware 116, and applications and third party software combine to provide a configuration definition or profile for these elements of the customer system 110, which can be captured by the upgrade analysis system 150 and used to determine potential effects of a software upgrade on system 110. The customer system 110 further includes a user interface 130, such as a work station or personal computer with a monitor and browser, for allowing an operator of system 110 to communicate with the upgrade analysis system 150 via communication network 140 to, for example, to request an upgrade analysis and to view analysis result reports generated by the upgrade analysis system 150.
The upgrade analysis system 150 is linked to the network 140 to allow it to receive upgrade analysis requests, to access the customer system 110 to create an inventory of the existing hardware and software on the system 110, and to transmit analysis results or reports to the customer system 110. The upgrade analysis system 150 functions to analyze the metadata in the inventory to create sets of analysis results which effectively quantifies and qualifies (e.g., categorizes into useful and understandable subsets) risks and impacts of an upgrade on the system 110 and particularly on the hardware 112, the operating system 114, the middleware 116, the third party software and applications 120, and, particularly, on previously built binaries 128. This analysis method is explained in detail with reference to
To perform upgrade impact analysis, the upgrade analysis system 150 includes a user interface 152, such as a workstation or personal computer with input and output devices, for allowing a user of the system 150 to interface with the analysis tools and to view analysis results and reports. A key portion of the upgrade impact analysis is accurately defining the existing customer system 110. In this regard, the system 150 includes an inventory tool 154 which functions to access the customer system 110 via the network 140 and to gather configuration information on the hardware 112, the operating system 114, the middleware 116, the application interfaces 118, the applications and third party software 120, the memory 124 including application libraries 126 and binaries 128, and other hardware and software aspects of the system 110 not shown. This metadata is stored in the memory 170 as a customer system inventory 172 for customer system 110. The customer system inventory 172 provides a detailed definition or profile of the Application Program Interfaces (APIs), Application Binary Interfaces (ABIs), hardware and software configurations (including versions, libraries and links, drivers, clustering, and the like), and binaries. The inventory 172 for system 110 may be used by the report generator 168 to create inventory reports including a total inventory report, a serial number and physical location report, system profile report, CPU report, disk report, disk model report, disk partition report, file system report, system packages or applications reports, patch reports, and the like.
The inventory 172 typically includes a very large volume of data for each system 110 to adequately define the current profile of the system 110. For example, in a typical customer system 110, such as a data center or enterprise system, the number of server or other computing devices in hardware 112 may range from a few to 50 or more and the binaries 128 may number from a few hundreds to a few thousand up to and exceeding tens to hundreds of thousands of binaries. As will be understood, the size and complexity of a typical customer system 110 leads to a customer system inventory or gathered configuration metadata that by itself is unmanageable and overwhelming for use as an upgrade analysis tool without further processing to better characterize the information and determine the affect of a planned upgrade on the existing configuration profile or inventory 172 of system 110.
To allow this further processing, the upgrade analysis system 150 stores in memory 170 (or retrieves from a storage device on the network 140 or otherwise) upgrade rules 174 for the planned upgrade. The upgrade rules 174 will vary significantly depending on the planned upgrade but generally define a new or upgrade environment for the customer system 110 after the upgrade and rules that are required or recommended to be followed to make the transition or move to the new environment. For example, the upgrade rules 174 may be relatively complex for a move from one to another operating system 114 but less complex for a move from one to another middleware 116 or application or third party software 120.
According to an important aspect of the invention, the upgrade analysis system 150 is configured to categorize the customer system 110 for analysis as shown in
To this end, the upgrade analysis system 150 includes one or more analysis tools that can be used sequentially or concurrently to compare the existing customer system 110 with the planned upgraded system by using the upgrade rules 174 and to create and store analysis results 180 in memory 170. As shown, a hardware profile analysis tool 156 is provided to process the profile of the hardware 112 in the customer system inventory 172 against the upgrade rules 174 pertaining to hardware requirements for the planned software upgrade. The hardware profile analysis tool 156 may perform a hardware check of the memory 124, of disks, of tapes, of drivers, of communication setting and capacities such as bus size, and of other elements of hardware that may be required or recommended to support the proposed software update. The results of the hardware profile analysis are stored as hardware check 182 in memory 180 for later accessing by report generator 168 and/or user interfaces 130, 152.
Similarly, an operating system analysis tool 158 is provided to process the inventory or profile of the operating system 114 against the upgrade rules 174 and to create analysis results 180. Such comparison may include among other comparisons a comparison of operating system version, private and public interfaces, drivers (and versions), bus requirements and settings, and libraries. A middleware analysis tool 160 and a third party and application software analysis tool 166 are provided to process the middleware 116 and third party application software 120 profiles in the inventory 172, respectively, against or with the upgrade rules. Again, the rules 174 typically will indicate one or more acceptable versions, expected APIs, libraries, and the like to enable the middleware 116 and applications and software 120 to operate without problems within the planned upgrade environment of the customer system 110. The results of the analysis are again stored in the analysis results 180 for later access by the report generator 168 and/or interfaces 130, 152.
According to another important feature of the invention the binaries 124 are analyzed to quantify the binaries and to quantify anticipated impacts of a planned software upgrade on the binaries 124. Analysis of the binaries 128 in the inventory 172 are processed against the upgrade rules 174 by one or more tools in the system 150. The binary analysis results 184 are stored in the memory 170. Based on the analysis, the binaries 128 are quantified by total binaries and then categorized or divided into groups based upon the expected impact of the upgrade, based on a risk of impact, and/or based on the severity of the impact, the level of effort to correct the binary, and/or the importance of the binary to the operation of the customer system 110 (which may be based on which portion of the system 110 the binary 128 is operating, for which application the binary 128 was built, or based on other factors).
As shown, the binaries 128 are classified as either safe binaries 186 which are expected to be compatible with the software upgrade or at-risk binaries 190 (e.g., binaries that have a higher risk than the safe or very low risk binaries 186 and can be thought of as "at-risk" binaries) which are, based on the analysis, expected to be impacted by the software upgrade or which are not readily classified as very low risk. Because the number of at-risk binaries 190 may be quite large and unwieldy (e.g., an exemplary system with 84,000 binaries for one upgrade impact analysis was found to contain more than 20,000 at-risk binaries for a planned software upgrade), the upgrade analysis system 150 preferably further qualifies the at-risk binaries 190 into additional subset that facilitate the determination of whether to proceed with a software upgrade based on return on investment (ROI), return on assets (ROA), total cost of ownership (TCO), and other financial and technical considerations.
As illustrated, the at-risk binaries 190 are further divided into three subsets or categories. A failure binary set 192 is provided to contain binaries 128 that based on the upgrade rules 174 are expected to fail to operate after the upgrade and modification or correction being required, with failure being indicated by such things as inclusion of obsolete libraries 126, improper data paths or links, obsolete APIs or ABIS, and the like. A high risk binary set 194 is provided to contain binaries 128 that have the possibility of running after an upgrade without modification. High risk binaries 194 may also include binaries for which a higher importance to the customer system 110 is placed or for which a higher level of effort to correct or modify the binary 194 is required. A low risk binary set 196 is provided to contain binaries 128 for which it is determined that the upgrade will most likely not affect the running of the binary 128 or for which any modifications will take minimal levels of effort to correct or for binaries 128 that are of relatively low importance to the customer system 110.
An application interface analysis tool 164 is provided to analyze the application interfaces 118 as defined in the inventory 172 against the upgrade rules 174 with the results being stored in the analysis results 180. The compatibility of many binaries 128 with a planned upgrade is often defined or determinable based on the interfaces of the binary 128 (e.g., whether the binary 128 was built in compliance with a particular API or ABI) with other applications and programs. Hence, the application interface analysis tool 164 in some embodiments performs much or all of the binary analysis and generates the binary analysis results 184 discussed above.
According to another important feature of the invention, the upgrade analysis system 150 is configured to process and then present the analysis results 180 in a manner that is useful and readily understood by operators of the system 150 via user interface 152 or by operators of the customer system 110 via user interface 130 (e.g., as displays or pages on a monitor, as hard copies from a printer, and the like). From the analysis results 180, the report generator 168 is able to present directly or with further manipulation risk of the upgrade at a system level, level of effort resulting from the upgrade at a system level, and dependencies (e.g., time lines, hardware dependencies and requirements, operating system dependencies, application dependencies, and more). These captured results can be displayed in simple text or tabular form or may be provided graphically. Further, in some embodiments, the report generator 168 functions to aggregate the analysis results on a system level, on a data center level, on a geographic basis, on a business group level, and based on ROI, ROA, and/or TCO. The aggregated results can be displayed in graphs utilizing a number of differing scales for the x and y axes to better show the risk, level of effort, and other impact factors to a user (such as at user interfaces 130, 152). For example, logarithmic/natural log scales may be used, logarithmic/integer scales may be used, and/or logarithmic/logarithmic scales may be used to graph the analysis results in a user friendly and readily understood fashion.
The tools 154, 156, 158, 160, 164, 166 and report generator 168 are illustrated as separate devices (such as software programs, objects, and the like). In other embodiments, a single analysis tool is provided to provide the functions of these tools. In another embodiment, two or more tools are provided to combine two or more of the tools to provide the described analysis functions. Similarly, although shown within a single system 150, such as on an application server, the tools 154, 156, 158, 160, 164, 166, report generator 168, and memory 170 may be provided on a plurality of servers, computer devices, and storage devices that may or may not be linked by communication networks (such as network 140, a LAN, or a WAN). Further, the particular programming language used to implement the features of the system 150 are not limiting to the invention.
At 216, the upgrade analysis system 150 collects data from the customer system 110 to create and store an existing system inventory (or profile) of the existing software and hardware. As part of the data collection 216, information is collected for the binaries 128 and/or on each machine in the system 110. The binary information in the inventory 172 generally includes all information useful for determining the compatibility of the binary 128 with the proposed software upgrade (based on upgrade rules 174 or otherwise determined) and may include dependencies, interfaces, utilized symbols/languages, libraries linked with the binary 128, and the like. At 220, the upgrade rules 174 are loaded into memory 170 or accessed for use by the system 150. As discussed above, the upgrade rules 174 are particular to the software being upgraded and are useful for defining the new customer system 110 environment (e.g., the post-upgrade hardware and software configuration of the customer system 110).
At 228, 230, 236, 240, 244, the inventory or current system configuration is analyzed against the new or planned upgraded system based on upgrade rules 174 and the analysis results 180 are created and stored in memory 170. Specifically, the hardware profile analysis tool 156 is used to check the existing hardware profile in inventory 172 to determine the readiness of the hardware 112 for the software upgrade and the hardware check results 182 are stored in memory 170. The operating system analysis tool 158 is used at 230 to process the inventory 172 based on the upgrade rules 174 to determine the readiness or compatibility of the operating system 114 with the software upgrade. The results are stored in the analysis results 180 and may indicate problems with libraries, interfaces, drivers, bus size, and other hardware characteristics. Middleware analysis tool 160 is used at 236 to analyze the inventory or profile of the middleware 116 for impact and risk based on the upgrade rules 174 and the results stored in analysis results 180.
At 240, application interfaces 118 and binaries 128 are analyzed with application interface analysis tool 164 to determine impact on existing binaries 128 of the planned software upgrade, again based on the upgrade rules 174. As discussed above, the binaries 128 are first divided into very low risk 186 and at-risk binaries 190 for operation after the upgrade. The at-risk binaries 190 are further classified as failure binaries 192, high risk binaries 194, and low risk binaries 196 based on the likelihood of unaffected operation after the upgrade, based on the priority or importance of the binaries, and/or potential level of effort anticipated for correcting the binary 128. At 244, applications and third party software 120 is analyzed with tool 166 based on the upgrade rules 174 and the results stored in analysis results 180.
At 250 (or concurrently with steps 228–244), the analysis system 150 acts to capture risk of the upgrade, anticipated level of effort to modify the system 110 to comply with the upgrade, dependencies, and/or other impact considerations. The risk and level of effort may be quantified and/or generally related to the quantification and qualification of the binary impacts (as discussed below for report generation 270) and may be provided on a system level, on a machine basis, on a data center basis, or some other user definable division of the customer system 110. The dependencies can be provided on a system level or based on a useful division of the system 110.
At 260, a request is received for one or more analysis reports from the user interface 152 or from the customer system 110. Prior to step 260, a graphical user interface may be generated by the upgrade analysis system 150 presenting a menu of graph or report choices that can be requested and which are generated by report generator 168. Preferably, the report generator 168 is configured to support the production and transmission of numerous reports based on the analysis results including but not limited to text reports and graphs. At 270, the report generator 168 responds to the request by generating one or more requests based on the request and, typically but not necessarily, transmitting the report to the requester, such as to user interface 130, 152. At 280, the analysis 200 is ended.
The type or form of the report may be a text report that provides recommended corrective actions to perform prior to the upgrade along with levels of effort, which is particularly useful for hardware 112, operating system 114, middleware 116, and application and third party software impacts or incompatibilities. The text report may also quantify the impact on the binaries 128 by providing a total number of binaries 128, a number of very low risk binaries 186, and a number of at-risk binaries 190 preferably along with a quantification and qualification of the at-risk binaries 190 by providing a total count of failure binaries 192, high risk binaries 194 and low risk binaries 196.
A bar graph, such as the graph shown in
The textual reports can include a listing of dependencies determined and indicate which dependencies may be improper or obsolete after the upgrade (as may be defined in the upgrade results 174). The textual reports may further provide an indication of level of effort required to correct binaries, to correct dependency issues, and/or to correct other identified issues. The binaries may be shown on an individual basis from the binary analysis 184 and particularly the at-risk binaries 190. For example, listings of the failure binaries 192 and the high risk binaries 194 along with related information (such as libraries, interfaces, and other useful information for modifying or correcting the binaries) to allow a user to take corrective actions. These binaries 190 can be listed by system, by enterprise, by business division, or by other useful division of the customer system 110.
The report generator 168 further operates, at least in some embodiments, to generate graphs that visually represent the analysis results. For example, the level of effort may be better understood when graphed as shown in
For example, the report generator 168 may generate the graph shown in
In some situations, it is useful to use financial metrics to illustrate the impact of a planned software upgrade, and particularly, to provide a before and after picture of a particular customer system 110 (i.e., at the enterprise level), of a portion of the system 110, or of an individual system in the customer system 110. Numerous financial metrics may be compared in such a graph including, but not limited to, return on investment (ROI), return on assets (ROA), total cost of ownership (TCO), and the like. The particular scales used on the x-axis and the y-axis may also be varied, and in one embodiment of the invention, a logarithmic scale is used for both axes.
As an illustration,
Although the invention has been described and illustrated with a certain degree of particularity, it is understood that the present disclosure has been made only by way of example, and that numerous changes in the combination and arrangement of parts can be resorted to by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, as hereinafter claimed. For example, the number of categories used to group and compare the at-risk binaries can be any useful number, such as 2, 3 (as shown), 4, 5, or more. Similarly, the graphs in
