  • Patent number: 11323397
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided that intercept access to mainframe computing systems' messaging systems. For example, a method may include using a replacement messaging interface adapter to intercept a messaging request being directed from a client program to a messaging interface module of a messaging subsystem that is identified by a messaging stub interface module that implements a documented messaging interface. The method may also include performing an auxiliary function on the messaging request. The method may additionally include transmitting the messaging request to the messaging interface module of the messaging subsystem. The method may further include receiving a response from the messaging subsystem. Additionally, the method may include providing the response to the client program.

  • Patent number: 8306945
    Abstract: A method, system and medium for organizing and associating log records into logically related groups is described. One or more input sources from, possibly, different systems/subsystems are input to a log correlation method. As the log records are processed the fields are interrogated to determine which log records are related to each other. As further log records are processed more information about previously unidentifiable relationships is determined. After this later information is known, log records that could previously not be associated with any other log records are added to the existing association. The system engineer is therefore presented with the pertinent information for monitoring, administrating and diagnosing system activities.

  • Patent number: 4372918
    Abstract: A flow through pressure reaction apparatus that permits chemical reactions to take place between fluids maintained under pressure as the component fluids are moved from one location to another. The reaction is allowed to take place within an enclosed fluid conduit connected between the discharges of opposed pumps. At least one pump is a non-positive displacement pump that will allow reverse flow of fluid through it in response to increases in fluid pressure within the conduit. One pump receives fluid material and forces it through its discharge into the conduit. A second pump at the opposite end of the conduit receives the material at its discharge. The second pump is operated in opposition to the first pump at a pressure head that is lower than the pressure head of the first pump. A fluid flow will therefore be maintained through the second pump in a direction opposite to the flow it would normally produce because of the differential of the pressure heads of the two pumps.
