Abstract: Provided are a computer program, method, and system for determining and assigning a default value to a current server response if the current server response is not received from the server within a time-limit. An indication of a submission of a request is transmitted to the server for receiving a current server response. A default value is assigned to the current server response if the current server response is not received from the server within a time-limit with respect to the current submission of the request. A set of operations being performed from the assignment of the default value to the current server response is logged. An actual value of the current server response is received from the server and the logged operations are rolled-back and the current server response reset to the actual value if the actual value is different from the default value.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided for managing pre-requisite software components of a software product distributed on a virtual machine. A list of pre-requisite software components for the software product provided in the software product virtual image distribution package of the software product virtual image is read. A test is performed as to whether each pre-requisite software component in the list of prerequisite software components is not installed in the virtual machine. If the prerequisite software component is not installed, the pre-requisite software component is retrieved. License text of the retrieved pre-requisite software component is read and displayed to a user. Upon approval of the license text by the user, the retrieved pre-requisite software component is installed. The process is repeated until all the pre-requisite software components are installed.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided for facilitating object search in a virtual world environment where each object is defined by a plurality of attributes and the search is performed on any attributes of the object however is not limited to a 3-D search. The co-ordinate location of each object in the virtual world is also provided in the search result and the range within which to perform the search may also be specified. Optionally, the user has the ability to teleport/transport to the location of the object using the search result.

Abstract: A method and system for dynamically sharing performance information among multiple computing nodes. One implementation involves dynamically obtaining performance information from deployments of an information technology (IT) product/solution at said computing nodes, and transmitting the obtained performance information to a server over a communication network for storing the obtained performance information in a knowledge database. The server operates to dynamically determine new configuration information based on the information in the database, store the new configuration in the database, and provide the new configuration information to said deployments by transmitting the new configuration information over the network.
