Abstract: Disclosed aspects include identifying basic blocks of a program. For each basic block, the compiler inserts an identifier that includes the function name, and is coupled with a counter variable. In response to generating the identifier coupled with the counter variable, the program is compiled. During program execution, the counter value is incremented in response to a call of the basic block when executing the program. In response to incrementing the counter value, the counter value coupled with the identifier is displayed.

The processor compares the first set of code statements of the rule to a second set of code statements of a plurality of code statements of source code. The processor responds to a match of the first set of code statements of the rule and the second set of code statements of the plurality of code statements of the source code, by applying a weight modifier to the rule, which adds a weighted value to the rule, and the processor, in response to a second matching of the first set of code statements of the rule to the second set of code statements of the plurality of code statements of the source code, applies the weight modifier to the rule, which includes a weighted value, and the weight modifier adjusts the weighted value of the rule.

Abstract: Techniques are described for managing drift within a standardized environment. According to one embodiment, an end state definition is stored that identifies a standard set of source components for a plurality of targets. A drift manager determines that at least one target of the plurality of targets has drifted from the standard set of source components identified by the end state definition. After determining that the at least one target of the plurality of targets has drifted from the standard set of source components identified by the end state definition, the drift manager reconciles the at least one target with the end state definition.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided for software discovery in an environment with heterogeneous machine groups may be provided. A group comprising computing systems that have similar software program installations is defined. A first scan procedure is performed by scanning each computing system of the group using a first software signature catalogue to identify installed programs. Software signatures of identified installed programs are added to a base installation software catalogue. A second scan procedure is performed by scanning the group of computing systems using the base installation software catalogue to identify installed software programs.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automatically provisioning resources based on application characteristics. In accordance with an embodiment, a system can include a computer, including a computer readable medium and processor. The system can further include one or more servers executing on the computer and an extensible application deployed to the one or more servers, wherein the application includes a plurality of real properties. A plurality of tenants can each utilize the application at the one or more servers. The extensible application is configured to be customized for each tenant, wherein customizing includes for each tenant, defining one or more virtual properties for the application in a metadata file, and mapping the one or more virtual properties to the application using the metadata file.
