Abstract
In various exemplary embodiments, a system and a related method and a related computer-readable medium to perform the method, for tracking numerous software calls in an enterprise environment is provided. The method includes tracking, during a runtime operation of the enterprise environment, layers through which each of the software calls passes. The tracking includes logging each of a multitude of physical components involved in each of the software calls, annotating each of the physical components with associated metadata, logging each of a multitude of logical components involved in the software calls, annotating each of the logical components with associated metadata, and logging a reliance of each of the physical components and the logical components on other physical and logical components. A dependency map is generated indicating the layers tracked in each of the software calls.
