Abstract: A method for constructing a customized web analytics application comprises providing a base analytics code, including a base data mining code and a plurality of tokens corresponding to unincorporated code snippets, and incorporating code snippets as selected to create the application where each code snippet is configured to track a different custom web analytic. The system displays a selection of at least one web analytic to track and receives user selection of at least one displayed web analytic to track over a wide area network. Once selected, an unincorporated code snippet corresponding to each selected displayed web analytic is retrieved from a library of such code snippets. The code snippet is then substituted in place of its corresponding token within the base analytics code to create a customized analytics code. The customized code is finalized by removing the remaining tokens and the finalized code transmitted to the user for incorporation into their web pages.

Abstract: Unique context-based code enhancement of the core functionality of standard source code objects is performed at any position in the code. Desired insertion/replacement position(s) input by a user trigger the generation of a unique context for an enhancement. The unique context is based on characteristics of the code in the standard source code objects, such as the statements proximate to the insertion/replacement position(s). The unique context is associated with one or more extension source code objects that, when integrated into the existing source code at the insertion/replacement position(s), will provide the enhancement. At compile-time, the unique context used to unambiguously locate the insertion/replacement position(s). The extension source code objects can include industry or customer extensions, add-ons, plug-ins, and the like.

Abstract: A scheduler receives a job graph which includes a graph of computational vertices that are designed to be executed on multiple distributed computer systems. The scheduler queries a graph manager to determine which computational vertices of the job graph are ready for execution in a local execution environment. The scheduler queries a cluster manager to determine the organizational topology of the distributed computer systems to simulate the determined topology in the local execution environment. The scheduler queries a data manager to determine data storage locations for each of the computational vertices indicated as being ready for execution in the local execution environment. The scheduler also indicates to a vertex spawner that an instance of each computational vertex is to be spawned in the local execution environment based on the organizational topology and indicated data storage locations, and indicates to the local execution environment that the spawned vertices are to be executed.

The repository record can include an identification of the repositories associated with the provisioning server. Additionally, the repository record can associate, with each identification of a repository, the type of repository, the software content contained in the repository, and provisioning objects associated with the software content contained in the repository. The provisioning server can be configured to utilize the repository record during provisioning processes for software content and for updating software content of target machines.

Abstract: Virtual applications are automatically kept up to date with the current version of a virtual application. Instead of the client having to obtain the entire version of the current virtual application, the client obtains the portions of the current virtual application that are changed from its version of the virtual application. After obtaining the changes needed to update its version of the virtual application, the client integrates those changes into its version of the virtual application.
