ABSTRACT:
A map builder system is implemented in a topological management system in a computer system to enable generic interfacing of an application with a display map generation process. The topological management system tracks a topology of objects. The map builder system includes a map builder and a topology data repository that implements a schema. The schema comprises a series of tables containing updated topological data representing particular attributes and relationships of the objects to be depicted. The map builder interfaces the topological data within these tables with a management system application programmatic interface (API), which interfaces with applications. The map builder constructs a series of mappings from the data, and the management system API is capable of using these mappings to construct a topology representing the relevant objects. The user can view the topology from the management system API and can change the topological representation, if desired.
