Application Initialization Service Factory
Make changes to a platform so that the initializing applications can run user-defined scripts on a platform.


Challenges
During application initialization, many error conditions may be occurring and reasons for such errors may not be easily understandable.

Results
Many hours of debugging needed to correct the situation.

Tool (Solution):  Coscend's Application Initialization Service Factory
A platform that maintains an application’s status and health must be able to start certain scripts at the initialization time.  It comprises of:
Key Features
  • As a part of application initialization, application registers itself to the platform.
  • Platform to start a pre-defined script and writes the output to the hard disk.
  • These scripts can be written to trace applications for known conditions.
  • At the end of application initialization or when the application initialization times out, platform can signal force exit of the running script to avoid any contention issues.
Benefits
  • Application’s code needed not have to be modified to provide and logs and traces.
  • Saves on several hours of code reviews and test cycles.
  • Applications’ initialization paths can be known for analysis.
  • Since scripts are very generic in nature, these can be made applicable even in field conditions.
Impact
  • Better product quality can be achieved in a short time.
  • Suggest enhancements to achieve optimum performance.
  • Accelerate time to market.
