Patent ID: 7337447

Claim:
An information handling system (IHS) having a single pipe string driven data transport architecture comprising: a processor in the IHS; a memory coupled to the processor for storing instructions executable by the processor a hardware independent execution environment subsystem in the IHS; a native operating system environment subsystem in the IHS; a data transport pipe for integrating legacy instrumentation agents of said native operating system environment subsystem and new instrumentation agents of said hardware independent execution environment subsystem into a single integrated systems management application; a single pipe architecture containing a static core set of application program interfaces (API) in its framework, including the static core set of API at a top of the pipe in JAVA space including a Java Native Interface (JNI) and a single pipe core framework API at a bottom of the pipe in native operating system (OS) space, wherein said data transport pipe is configured to transport data between said native operating system environment subsystem and said hardware independent execution environment subsystem via a string as a transport vehicle; and wherein strings transported from said hardware independent execution environment subsystem to said native operating system environment subsystem through said data transport pipe contain a request for information (RFI) command, and wherein strings transported from said native operating system environment subsystem to said hardware independent execution environment subsystem through said data transport pipe contain information.
