A system and method of implicitly localizing agent access to a network component located on a remote host includes the steps of determining a host location of the network component; automatically relocating an agent to the remote host; and incorporating the agent into an address space shared by the network component. The agent is preferably a script. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION In accordance with the aforementioned needs, the present invention provides a system and method for determining the location of a network component and a set of methods to access the apparatus and then to relocate an agent transparently to the determined location.
Specifically, the present invention provides a method of implicitly localizing agent access to a network component located on a remote host, including the steps of determining a host location of the network component; automatically relocating an agent to the remote host; and incorporating the agent into an address space shared by the network component.
The agent is, preferably, a script.
The automatically relocating step of the present invention preferably includes the step of relocating the agent to the remote host without any explicit instructions to do so.
Furthermore, the automatically relocating step preferably includes the steps of packaging the agent for transmission and transmitting the agent to the remote host or to the matched host address.
The incorporating step of the present invention preferably includes the steps of receiving the packaged agent at the remote host; unpackaging the agent and forwarding the agent to an execution engine in the remote host.
The determining step of the present invention preferably includes the steps of identifying a component reference host name associated with a component reference host address of the network component; comparing the component reference host name to a list of host names; and matching one of the host names to the component reference host address.
Preferably, the step of identifying the network component for execution or manipulation is included.
More specifically, the method can further include the steps of identifying the component reference ID in the agent; comparing the component reference ID to a list of component IDs; and matching one of the component IDs to the component reference ID for execution or manipulation.
The present invention also provides a program storage device, readable by a machine, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the machine to perform the above-referenced method steps for implicitly localizing agent access to a network component
