  • Patent number: 7962791
    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for automated data determination propagation. A data package source collects data and compiles the data into data packages. A local data package prioritization module determines a prioritized order of the data packages based on a local priority matrix. The local data package prioritization module sends the data packages in the prioritized order over a temporary data connection to a central data package prioritization module. The local data package prioritization module updates the local priority matrix over the temporary data connection based on a central priority matrix. The central data package prioritization module receives the data packages and makes one or more updates to the central priority matrix based on the data packages.

  • Patent number: 7882402
    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for data priority determination. A receiving module receives a data package. A parsing module parses out priority indicators from the data package. A comparison module compares the priority indicators to entries in a priority matrix, determining whether the data package is of a defined data package type. In response to a determination that the data package is of the defined data package type, a priority determination module determines a data package priority of the data package based on a data package priority of the defined data package type. In response to a determination that the data package is not of the defined data package type, a type definition module defines a new data package type having a data package priority based on the priority indicators. A priority update module updates the data package priority of the defined data package type.

  • Patent number: 7542985
    Abstract: A method of establishing a prioritization for transmission of log files from a remote computer to a central repository involves receiving a first log file package at the central repository from the remote computer, the first log file package having been generated in response to a predetermined event at the remote computer, tracking which logs of the first log file package are utilized at the central repository, updating priority of the logs, designating additional log files that were not part of the first log file package that are to be included in a second log file package, sending a list of the log priorities and the designated log files from the central repository to the remote computer, and receiving the second log file package at the central repository from the remote computer.

  • Patent number: 7529976
    Abstract: To log errors of a plurality of subsystems, a master reporting tool provides a table identifying the subsystems and their interface protocol addresses with respect to a network. A subsystem reports errors, via the network, to the master reporting tool, and the reporting subsystem identifies and reports other subsystems associated with the errors, if any, to the master reporting tool. The master reporting tool employs the interface addresses of the table to request reportable data from the other subsystems identified by the originally reporting subsystem as associated with the reported error. The network may be separate from a data handling network of the data handling system.
