Abstract

See full text

An apparatus, program product and method utilize an interactive request server program to interface a plurality of client computers with a timing analysis program. The interactive request server program receives client requests from the plurality of client computers over a network, and, in response to each client request, accesses the timing analysis program to retrieve timing data based upon such client request and thereafter forwards the timing data to the client computer making such request. The interactive request server program may optionally be implemented using a web server program and an application server program, with the web server program interfacing with the client computers via an Internet-type interface, and the application server program interfacing with the timing analysis program using a programmatic interface supported by the timing analysis program. The web server, program and the application server program interface with one another through the use of scripts, which are executed by the web server in response to client requests, and which generate one or more commands that are issued to the application server program to control the timing analysis program via the programmatic interface.
