Abstract: A method and apparatus for document collaboration and management are disclosed. In the method and apparatus, a document may be incorporated in a document directory maintained by a document collaboration and management service. A portable representation underlay based on the document may be generated using one or more asynchronous workflows and the portable representation underlay may be provided in response to a user request.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing service requests for non-transactional databases are disclosed. In the method and apparatus, the execution of a first operation may be initiated based at least in part on receiving a service request from a user. The first operation may be executed synchronously with receipt of the request. Further, one or more execution workflows may be provisioned for asynchronous execution of one or more other operations.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for identifying reviewers of documents is disclosed. In the method and apparatus, reviewers are identified for a set of documents. The reviewers are identified based at least in part on one or more attributes of the reviewers or one or more attributes of at least one document of the set of documents. An identity associated with a reviewer of the reviewers is made available to a user. After the reviewer is made available to the user, a selection of at least one reviewer is received from the user, and the set of documents are made available to the selected at least one reviewer.

Abstract: Organizations maintain and generate large amounts of documentation and entities of these organizations often need to collaborate on generating and reviewing this information. There is a need to maintain and store this documentation remotely in such a way that the entities of these organizations may collaborate with each other. To ensure that information is handled effectively, new versions are created for documents uploaded to a service provider by entities of the organization. The documents are processed in such a way that the documents are displayed uniformly across a variety of devices.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling access to documents retained by a document management and collaboration system is disclosed. The document management and collaboration system may generate one or more suggested privileges associated with one or more users. An access control policy may specify whether system-generated user privileges may be enforced. If they are enforced, access to one or more document may be made subject to the generated privileges.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for forming a collection of documents is disclosed. In the method and apparatus, a plurality of documents are identified for inclusion in a document collection. The documents are identified based at least in part on one or more attributes of at least one document of the plurality of documents. A user is requested to confirm the document collection, and an instruction is received from the user indicating one or more documents of the plurality of documents may be included in the document collection. After the indication is received, the collection may be formed and made available to the user or one or more other users of a document management and collaboration system.

Abstract: A primary master node and a standby master node monitor the health of a shared nothing database appliance to afford high availability while minimizing false negatives and duplicate alerts by executing continuously in parallel complimentary processes that determine whether the database is running, and which master node is the active database master node. The active database master node monitors the health of the components of the database appliance by polling each component to detect failures and warnings, and the other master node monitors the status of the active master node. Upon detecting a failure of the active master node, the other node takes over health monitoring. If the database is not running, the designated primary master node performs health monitoring.

Abstract: The constituency and topology of a dynamic network cluster comprising a plurality of hosts and a plurality of Level 2 network switches is automatically detected and mapped at selected intervals of time to provide current real time topology mappings. Network connections are determined by identifying the MAC addresses of host interfaces of hosts that a part of the cluster and the MAC addresses of the particular host interfaces connected to the switch ports of each switch. Resiliency to account for changes to the cluster between intervals is provided by caching cluster mapping and constituency information, and using the cached information from a previous update round to supplement information detected during a current round.
