Abstract

Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system, method, and computer program product for assessing error notifications associated with one or more application functions. An exemplary embodiment includes receiving an indication of an error associated with at least one function in an application; extracting information associated with the application from one or more sources; and initiating a presentation of a second user-interface to enable a user to resolve the error, wherein the second user-interface comprises at least one of an aggregation of the information extracted from the one or more sources.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A system for assessing error notifications associated with one or more application functions and determining remediation steps to rectify the error, the system comprising:
a memory; a processor; and a module stored in the memory, executable by the processor, and configured to:
receive an indication of an error associated with at least one function in an application, wherein the application is dynamically hosted by one or more servers, wherein the one or more servers are associated with a back-end system;
extract information associated with the application from one or more sources, wherein the information comprises at least one of one or more known errors associated with the at least one function, one or more resolutions associated with the one or more known errors, and/or impacts associated with the at least one function; and
initiate a presentation of a second user-interface to enable a user to begin an error resolution process, wherein the second user-interface comprises at least one of an aggregation of the information extracted from the one or more sources, a summary of the error, an error type, and/or access to one or more tools used to resolve the error.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the module is configured to initiate a presentation of a first interface to:
analyze the one or more servers hosting the application; identify an error, wherein the error identified in the one or more servers is associated with the error indicated in the at least one function in the application; and begin an error resolution process based on at least predetermined resolution functions associated with the one or more servers.

3 . The system of claim 2 , wherein analyzing one or more servers further comprises analyzing at least one of a utility, one or more services, server clustering information, and/or memory usage.

4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more sources comprises an internal source and an external source, wherein the internal source comprises at least one of application production statistics, internal communication reports, application documentation, and/or application production trials, wherein the external source comprises at least one of external communication reports, trade literature, and/or one or more databases associated with an application type.

5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the module is configured to:
aggregate the information from the one or more sources periodically; and store the aggregated information in a database associated with the application and configured to be retrievable by the user to be presented in the first user-interface.

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein an application function comprises one or more application sub-functions, wherein the indication of an error associated with at least one application function comprises an error associated with one or more application sub-functions associated with the at least one application function.

7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the first user-interface further comprises at least one of information associated with the application development team, application support team, and/or one or more vendors.

8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the module is configured to:
determine that the error associated with the at least one function in the application is not associated with the back-end system; and initiate an external communication with one or more vendors associated with the application indicating the error to determine that the error associated with the at least one function is to be resolved by the one or more vendors; and begin an error resolution process with the one or more vendors associated with the application.

9 . The system of claim 1 , wherein module is configured to receive an indication of the error based on at least a real-time monitoring of the one or more application functions associated with the one or more applications.

10 . A method for assessing error notifications associated with one or more application functions and determining remediation steps to resolve the error, the method comprising:
receiving, using a computing device processor, an indication of an error associated with at least one function in an application, wherein the application is dynamically hosted by one or more servers, wherein the one or more servers are associated with a back-end system; extracting, using a computing device processor, information associated with the application from one or more sources, wherein the information comprises at least one of one or more known errors associated with the at least one function, one or more resolutions associated with the one or more known errors, and/or impacts associated with the at least one function; and initiating, using a computing device processor, a presentation of a second user-interface to enable a user to resolve the error, wherein the second user-interface comprises at least one of an aggregation of the information extracted from the one or more sources, a summary of the error, an error type, and/or access to one or more tools used to resolve the error.

11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the method further comprises initiating a presentation of a first interface to:
analyze the one or more servers hosting the application; and identify an error, wherein the error identified in the one or more servers is associated with the error indicated in the at least one function in the application.

12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein analyzing one or more servers further comprises analyzing at least one of a utility, one or more services, server clustering information, and/or memory usage.

13 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the method further comprises:
aggregating the information from the one or more sources periodically; and storing the aggregated information in a database associated with the application and configured to be retrievable by the user to be presented in the first user-interface.

14 . The method of claim 10 , wherein an application function comprises one or more application sub-functions, wherein the indication of an error associated with at least one application function comprises an error associated with one or more application sub-functions associated with the at least one application function.

15 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the first user-interface further comprises at least one of information associated with the application development team, application support team, and/or one or more vendors.

16 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the method further comprises:
determining that the error associated with the at least one function in the application is not associated with the back-end system; and initiating an external communication with one or more vendors associated with the application indicating the error to determine that the error associated with the at least one function is to be resolved by the one or more vendors; and resolving the error.

17 . The method of claim 10 , wherein method further comprises receiving an indication of the error based on at least a real-time monitoring of the one or more application functions associated with the one or more applications.

18 . A computer program product for assessing error notifications associated with one or more application functions and determining remediation steps to resolve the error, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising code causing a first apparatus to:
receive an indication of an error associated with at lea
