Patent number: 8509414Abstract: A target phone number previously associated with a first user is presently associated with a second user such that the target phone number is not presently associated with the first user. A caller uses a calling phone number to initiate a phone call to the target phone number. In response, it is determined whether the calling phone number is on a list of phone numbers associated with the first user. If the calling phone number is on the list of phone numbers associated with the first user, then the caller is notified that the target phone number is no longer associated with the first user. It is determined whether the caller wants to continue with the phone call, and if not, the phone call is terminated before it reaches the second user.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2008Date of Patent: August 13, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Sukadev Bhattiprolu, Haren Myneni, Badari Pulavarty, Chandra Seetharaman, Narasimha N.

Publication number: 20130151888Abstract: A technique for avoiding a ping-pong effect on active-passive paths in a storage system managing one or more logical storage units (LUNs) on behalf of one or more host systems. A first path to the LUNs is designated as an active path and a second path to the LUNs is designated as a passive path. The first path is also designated as a preferred path to the LUNs. In response to a path failure in which a host system cannot access the LUNs on the first path, a failover operation is implemented wherein the second path is designated as the active path and the first path is designated as the passive path. The designation of the first path as the preferred path to the LUNs is not changed. Subsequent failback operations are conditionally inhibited so that only the failover host that initiated the failover is permitted to initiate a failback.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 12, 2011Publication date: June 13, 2013Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Sukadev Bhattiprolu, Venkateswararao Jujjuri, Haren Myneni, Malahal R.

Patent number: 8336052Abstract: A first computer program runs in user memory space of a computing environment, and a second computer program runs in kernel memory space of the computing environment. The first computer program determines processes that constitute a workload. The second computer program creates a workload identifier corresponding to the workload, and associates the processes with the workload identifier. The first computer program requests metrics regarding the workload. In response, the second computer program collects such metrics by collecting metrics regarding the processes that constitute the workload and that are associated with the workload identifier The second computer program reports the metrics regarding the workload to the first computer program.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2008Date of Patent: December 18, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Narasimha N.

Patent number: 8201182Abstract: A method of managing software application workloads starts, on a machine, a software application from startup script. The startup script includes startup tasks. The machine includes an operating system. The operating system includes a kernel. The method requests an application group identifier from the kernel. The method associates the startup tasks with the application group identifier until the startup script ends. The method requests application group identifiers from the kernel. If said application group identifier is a workload, the method requests the kernel to aggregate usage data for the application group identifier. If the application group identifier is not a workload, the method determines a set of application group identifiers that comprise a work load, and requests the kernel to aggregate usage data for the set of application group identifiers. The method receives the aggregated usage data from the kernel, and uses the aggregated usage data to manage the workload.Type: GrantFiled: December 24, 2007Date of Patent: June 12, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Vivek Kashyap, Chandra S.

Publication number: 20120016890Abstract: Systems, methods and computer program products are disclosed herein for assigning visual characteristics to records of a data structure and displaying those records. In response to an attribute being selected, records of the data structure may be sorted by values of the selected attribute of the records. A first set of records having values of the selected attribute that correspond to a first value may be identified. A second set of records having values of the selected attribute that correspond to a second value also may be identified. A first visual characteristic may automatically be assigned to each record of the first set of records and a second visual characteristic, that is different from the first visual characteristic, may be automatically assigned to each record of the second set of records.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 15, 2010Publication date: January 19, 2012Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Sukadev Bhattiprolu, Venkateswararao Jujjuri, Haren Myneni, Malahal R.

Publication number: 20110264991Abstract: A method, system, and article for management of email communication content across a computer system network. An archive of email communications is retained on storage media in communication with the network. In addition, email communication is retained on storage media in communication with a client machine in the network. To mitigate duplication of email communications, duplicate communications are replaced with a hyperlink to the archive communication. This replacement supports removal of the duplicate communication from the storage media in communication with the client machine.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 23, 2010Publication date: October 27, 2011Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Sukadev Bhattiprolu, Venkateswararao Jujjuri, Malahal R.

Patent number: 8001482Abstract: A method of displaying tab titles in a computer user interface receives a request to display a new tab in a tab area having a length. The new tab has a width and the new tab has a title having a length. The method determines a number of tabs to be displayed in the area and determines if the number of tabs to be displayed multiplied by the tab width is greater than the length of the tab area. If so, the method sets the tab width equal to the length of the tab area divided by the number of tabs. The method determines if the length of the title is greater than the tab width. If so, the method determines if the title has any words in common with any other titles of tabs. If so, the method deletes the common words from the titles, and displays the titles with the deleted common words in the tabs. The method may set a maximum number of tabs to be displayed in the tab area. The maximum number of tabs may be determined by the length of the tab area and a minimum tab width.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2007Date of Patent: August 16, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Sukadev Bhattiprolu, Haren Myneni, Malahal R.
