Publication number: 20240160517Abstract: The present disclosure relates to computer-implemented methods, software, and systems for obtaining incoming alerts associated with tickets generated for health status issues identified by applications for central components of a cloud platform environment. The obtained incoming alerts are aggregated to determine a root cause ticket. A set of incoming alerts is associated with a first central component running at a first data center from one or more data centers of the cloud platform environment. The set of incoming alerts are generated based on a set of tickets logged at a first ticketing system of the first data center by one or more applications running on the first data center. A root cause ticket is generated to combine the set of tickets corresponding to the set of incoming alerts, and the root cause ticket identifies the first central component as associated with a first health status issue.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2022Publication date: May 16, 2024Inventors: Felix Fischer, Yannick Ulmrich, Tilmann Haeberle, Premchand Nutakki, Jens Berger, Andreas Reischmann, Badri Narayan

Patent number: 11556405Abstract: A method for mitigating errors in the transportation of configuration data may include identifying, at a development system, dependent configuration data associated with a first transport request. The dependent configuration data may implement a customization to a software application hosted at a production system. A reference table identifying the dependent configuration data may be sent to the production system.

Patent number: 11411401Abstract: A method for controlling at least one controllable system component in an electrical installation, where the installation is connected to an electrical supply network via a network connection. A measurement value of a performance from the supply network is detected for each individual successive time interval, and if one of the measurement values is larger than a predetermined threshold value, the performance is guided below the threshold value by switching electrical compensation power. The measurement value of the current time interval is predicted as a forecast value using a control device at at least one time within the current time interval in question by using forecast data to add a future course of the performance extending to the end of the time interval, and thereby deciding during the time interval how much compensation power is necessary.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2020Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke AktiengesellschaftInventors: Jens Berger, Alexander Funke, Julian Rominger

Patent number: 11156646Abstract: A method for aggregating operating values of a plurality of spatially distributed operating units, wherein aggregation times are predefined and the operating values of each operating unit describe an operating variable at each of the respective aggregation times, and a respective aggregation value is generated from time-synchronized operating values of the operating units for the aggregation. Respective raw values are received for each of the operating units, which describe the operating variable at a respective detection time, and the operating values of at least one of the operating units are formed based on the raw values thereof. For each of the aggregation times, and based on a predetermined checking function, a respective operating value is sought which fulfills a synchronization criterion and a plausibility criterion. If an operating value of this type is found it is used, and if no such operating value is found, a detection gap is signaled.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2019Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke AktiengesellschaftInventors: Jens Berger, Guercan Guelesir

Patent number: 11156976Abstract: A method for operating a plurality of technical units as a pool on an electric distribution network. A central controller is used to receive flexibility data from each technical unit. The flexibility data is used by the unit to indicate a power interval within which the electric power of the unit is allowed to vary or varies in an expected manner.
