Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes selecting a group of transactions having a common end-to-end transaction path comprising a plurality of transaction-path nodes. Each transaction of the group is associated with either an acceptable category or an unacceptable category based, at least in part, on an end-to-end response time for the transaction. The method further includes separately determining, for each transaction-path node, an execution-time pair. The execution-time pair includes first aggregate information indicative of execution time by the transaction-path node for transactions associated with the acceptable category. The execution-time pair also includes second aggregate information indicative of execution time by the transaction-path node for transactions associated with the unacceptable category. Additionally, the method includes generating a visualization of the end-to-end transaction path.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable medium are disclosed for collecting and transmitting diagnostics information via a diagnostic information operation. The diagnostic information operation begins with a system periodically writing diagnostic information such as diagnostic errors and warnings to non-volatile local storage contained within the system. Upon detection of a failure, the user activates an NFC-enabled device (such as a mobile device) and positions the NFC-enabled device within NFC range of the failed system. The failed system then communicates the diagnostic information stored within the non-volatile local storage to NFC-enabled device.

An example system includes a processing device and memory that stores accounts in accordance with a first email, identity or file domain. The processing device may create a collection of related accounts stored in accordance with a first email, identity or file domain based on active directory information of the stored accounts and may migrate information included in the collection of accounts into a second email, identity or file domain. The collection includes one or more first-level accounts that are identified as having a relationship with a predefined root account based on a delegation attribute.

Abstract: A network-based solution for automatically processing large email attachments or other files during migration between email platforms or other platforms, as may be embodied by various systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media, may involve downloading mailboxes from a source email platform and inspecting the mailboxes for emails containing attachment files. The solution may involve determining a file size of any detected attachment, comparing the file size of the detected attachment file to a predetermined attachment size limit, and uploading a copy of the detected attachment to a storage server for storage when the comparison determines that the file size of the detected attachment file exceeds the predetermined attachment size limit. The solution may further include modifying the email by replacing the detected attachment with a link to the copy of the detected attachment stored at the storage server and then migrating the modified email to the target email platform.

Abstract: JDBC-X, which is distributed database driver middleware, can extend the JDBC API to facilitate integrating an application with a distributed database. JDBC-X functions as an intermediary between the JDBC API and the JDBC drivers and provides a number of components that adapt JDBC SQL queries and corresponding result sets in a manner that is substantially transparent to the application. In this way, an application that was originally designed to access a relational database can be seamlessly converted to accessing a distributed database. Similarly, JDBC-X allows an application to employ a distributed database that is dynamically provisioned without needing to be aware of the current structure of the database.

The computing device can request batches of data from the preferred target servers, and process the information through a buffer. Techniques and technologies described herein collect the batches of data from servers as well as corresponding data collection statistics (e.g., server performance per task, server historical performance, etc.) and server performance data (e.g. server status).

Abstract: Techniques and systems for restoring objects from a backup file without restoring a remainder of the backup file are described. For example, a plurality of object identifiers that identify a plurality of objects stored in the backup file may be determined. A selection of an object identifier of the plurality of object identifiers may be received. A set of objects to be restored from the backup file may be determined based on the object identifier. The set of objects may be granularly restored to a staging database directly from the backup file, without restoring a remainder of the backup file. The set of objects may be migrated from the staging database to a production database.

Abstract: In general, certain embodiments of the present disclosure provide techniques or mechanisms for creating efficient and consistent replication of file overwrites. According to various embodiments, a file map with a sequence file number is created for a data file on a source. The file map includes one or more nodes that each include a sequence node number. When an entry in the file map is changed, the sequence file number is incremented, and the corresponding node is updated by, among other things, setting the sequence node number to equal the current sequence file number. All other nodes in the file map that point to the updated node are similarly updated. When replication occurs, only the updated nodes in the file map are replicated and any unreplicated non-updated nodes are maintained.
