Abstract: Restoring a clustered database having a plurality of nodes each having database from a failed storage device by receiving a request to restore a backup image of a failed shared storage device associated with the clustered database to a time; performing a preflight check including at least one checklist process; terminating the restore when any checklist process fails; when each checklist process succeeds completing the restore by creating at least one flashcopy associated with the backup image, mapping to each of the plurality of nodes an associated portion of the at least one flashcopy, mounting the at least one flashcopy to the node as a diskgroup, and switching the clustered database to run from the diskgroup.

Abstract: A method, a computer system, and a computer program product for communicating employment opportunities to job candidates. A recruiting system receives a job posting from an organization communicating over a first network. The recruiting system matches the job requirements in the job posting to a candidate profile. The recruiting system identifies a mobile device associated with the candidate profile, and an interaction template that describes a conversational flow of messages for soliciting an application for the job from a job candidate. A dialogue is initiated with the mobile device, by sending a transmission object built from a message in the interaction template. A response received from the mobile device based on rules that describe a conversational flow for the interaction template. If the response is positive, the recruiting system submits the user as a candidate for the job by posting the information in the response to the organization.

Abstract: A method, a computer system, and a computer program product for authenticating a transaction are provided. An authentication system receives the transaction over a particular channel of a plurality of support channels. A risk score is determined for the transaction based on a number of contextual risk factors. An authentication scheme is determined from a number of authentication schemes for authenticating an identity of the user within an authentication context. The authentication scheme is determined based on the particular channel and the risk score. In response to successfully authenticating the identity of the user within the authentication context, the authentication system determines whether the transaction is a permitted transaction based on an assurance level associated with the authentication context. In response to determining that the transaction is the permitted transaction, the transaction is authenticated.
