  • Patent number: 10169055
    Abstract: Various embodiments of systems, computer program products, and methods to provide access identifiers for graphical user interface (GUI) elements are described herein. In an aspect, a trigger is received to render at least one GUI element on a GUI associated with a display. One or more pre-defined accessibility parameters associated with the at least one graphical user interface element are retrieved. Further, access control check is performed in real time to determine whether the one or more pre-defined accessibility parameters are met. A visual identifier representing an accessibility status is associated to the at least one GUI element based on the access control check. The at least one GUI element is rendered with the visual identifier on the GUI.

  • Patent number: 9842221
    Abstract: Particular embodiments provide a system that analyzes and optimizes roles and authorizations for users of a customer. The system determines which executables have been used by users in the system over a certain time period. Thereafter, the system analyzes and optimizes authorizations within the assigned roles for the users. The authorizations for the roles assigned to the user are then analyzed. The vendor roles typically have redundant authorizations, some of which may be used and some not used. The system can then generate a new customer role for the user with the used authorizations combined into the new role. For example, the authorizations used by the user are combined into the new customer role. This reduces the number of roles the user has assigned to him/her, and also the number of authorizations. Also, the new customer role may be added to other users with the same role at the customer.

  • Patent number: 9043755
    Abstract: A method is provided to manage program code that runs in a computer system comprising: producing a management information structure that identifies a managed system within the computer system; producing a master object definition information structure that provides a mapping between master objects and corresponding managed code objects that run in the computer system; and requesting extraction of information from the managed system identified by the master information structure that relates to managed code objects that the object definition information structure maps to master objects.

  • Patent number: 8966442
    Abstract: A method to manage program code that runs in a computer system comprising: producing a transfer template information definition structure in a computer readable storage device that includes a provider code attribute a similarity measure attribute and at least one results attribute; producing a transfer instance of the transfer template information definition structure that associates a provider code object identified as corresponding to the respective managed code object with the provider object code attribute and that associates the determined measure of similarity with the similarity measure attribute; using the transfer instance to obtain results information from a provider system that includes information about the provider code object.

  • Patent number: 8707262
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for code scoring. In one aspect, there is provided a computer-implemented method. The method may include receiving metadata including information representative of at least one custom code module used in a business system; receiving at least one rule from a rules template; and calculating, based on the received metadata and the received at least one rule, a score representative of whether the at least one custom code module is maintained. Related apparatus, systems, methods, and articles are also described.

  • Publication number: 20140081712
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for determining a supportability index. In one aspect, there is provided a computer-implemented method. The method may include receiving metadata including information representative of one or more modules used by a manager providing lifecycle support to a business system; receiving at least one rule from a rules template, the at least one rule representative of a process to perform a calculation to determine a score; and calculating, based on the received metadata and the received at least one rule, the score representative of an amount of lifecycle support the manager including the one or more modules provide to the business system. Related apparatus, systems, methods, and articles are also described.
