  • Patent number: 9977701
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for Remote Application Programming Interface (RAPI) communications between server and client devices. In an embodiment, server and client devices comprise memories and hardware processors coupled to the memories. The hardware processors execute instructions to perform operations that instantiate access point instances on both server side and client side. The instructions are generated from compiling API interface classes with remote communication classes, wherein the compiling includes a procedure of creating new classes through double inheritance. By receiving an API connection message from a client device, the server device clones a default relayer access point instance and assigns the cloned relayer access point instance to process API requests received thereafter from the client device.

  • Patent number: 9880860
    Abstract: Architecture that includes an asynchronous library which remembers the synchronization context that initiated an asynchronous method call and when the request is completed, the library restores the synchronization context of the calling thread before executing a callback. This ensures that the callback executes on the same thread as the original asynchronous request. The callback to the asynchronous operation that asynchronous library provides automatically “jumps threads” to maintain thread affinity.

  • Patent number: 9875119
    Abstract: In an example embodiment, a bundle loader is run in response to a communication from an application. The communication may indicate that the plurality of bundles of components in the application is to be executed. The plurality of bundles may include at least one bundle having a component that depends on a dependency component in another of the plurality of bundles. A configuration file indicating a set of the plurality of bundles to load in the bundle loader is received. The bundle loader is operated to load a bundle manifest for each bundle in the set of the plurality of bundles to load. Then, for each of the bundles in the set of plurality of bundles to load, the bundle is activated if no unactivated dependency component exists for any component in the bundle.

  • Patent number: 9870215
    Abstract: An apparatus, method, and system for receiving a request for a transaction using a computer system. An absence of a first user identification of an application on a first user device is determined, when a beacon of the computer system does not detect the first user identification within a defined geographical area. A plurality of transaction data from a transaction device is received. A second user identification based on the received transaction data is generated. An installation status of the application on the first user device based on the generated second user identification and the absence of the first user identification is also generated.

  • Patent number: 9866633
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein can avoid such speed degradations caused by performance monitoring. According to one embodiment, a media drive monitoring device can issue a command that does not penetrate reservations at the drive. If the drive is reserved, the drive will return a reservation conflict (“RC”) or other status indicating the previous reservation. The monitoring device can continue to issue the command to the drive until the drive responds in a manner that indicates that it is no longer reserved. The monitoring appliance can then issue a command to collect information from the drive (e.g., the Log Sense command or other command).

  • Patent number: 9858132
    Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method for facilitating atomic delivery of bundled data sets to applications within distributed systems may include (1) receiving, at a queue of an application, a data set from at least one other application, (2) determining that the data set is incorporated in a bundle whose contents have yet to completely arrive at the queue, (3) gating the data set at the queue until the bundle's contents have completely arrived at the queue, (4) receiving, at the queue, another data set incorporated in the bundle, (5) determining that the bundle's contents have completely arrived at the queue based at least in part on receiving the other data set, and then (6) notifying the application that the bundle is ready for atomic delivery such that the application is able to consume the bundle's contents on an as-needed basis. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9836293
    Abstract: A method and system for automatically integrating component logs is provided. The method includes retrieving from a software application, high level log identification values representing transactions executed by the software application. Compiled machine language identification values representing compiled code associated with the software application and the hardware device are retrieved from an agent and a high level log identification value of the high level log identification values is identified. The high level log identification value is associated with an instruction set processed by a central processing unit (CPU). An instruction set identification value is correlated with the compiled machine language identification values. The compiled machine language identification values are converted into decompiled machine language identification values and the decompiled machine language identification values are correlated with log levels associated with the high level log identification values.

  • Patent number: 9830251
    Abstract: A streams manager monitors data tuples processed by a streaming application represented by an operator graph. The streams manager includes a tuple breakpoint mechanism that allows defining a tuple breakpoint that fires based on resource usage by the data tuple. When the tuple breakpoint fires, one or more operators in the operator graph are halted according to specified halt criteria. Information corresponding to the breakpoint that fired is then displayed. The tuple breakpoint mechanism thus provides a way to debug a streaming application based on resource usage by data tuples.

  • Patent number: 9823910
    Abstract: Methods and a system are provided. A method includes implementing a function, which a compiler for a first language does not have, using a compiler for a second language. The implementing step includes generating, by the compiler for the first language, a first abstract syntax tree. The implementing step further includes converting, by a converter, the first abstract syntax tree to a second abstract syntax tree of the compiler for the second language using a conversion table from data representation types in the first language to data representation types in the second language. When a compilation error occurs, the implementing step also includes generating a special node for error processing in the second abstract syntax tree and storing an error token in the special node. When unparsing, the implementing step additionally includes outputting the error token, in the form of source code written in the first language.

  • Patent number: 9811376
    Abstract: Techniques for preserving the state of virtual machine instances during a migration from a source location to a target location are described herein. A set of credentials configured to provide access to a storage device by a virtual machine instance at the source location is provided to the virtual machine instance. When the migration from the source location to the target location starts, a second set of credentials configured to provide access to a storage device by a virtual machine instance at the source location is provided to the virtual machine instance. During the migration, a response to an input-output request is provided to one or more of the locations using the set of credentials and based at least in part on the state of the migration.

  • Patent number: 9792093
    Abstract: Subsections of locale objects are dynamically built from locale source files when requested at run-time without building all subsections of the locale object. When a subsection of a locale object is dynamically built, the subsection is stored in global memory so it may be read by multiple applications. Dynamically building subsections of locale objects when requested allows software to operate with a relatively small number of locale objects.
