  • Patent number: 9910694
    Abstract: A method, system, and/or computer program product provide a custom virtual appliance. One or more processors generate a description file of a custom virtual appliance based on a user requirement. The processor(s) acquire configuration metadata of the custom virtual appliance from the description file. The processor(s) create a list of candidate virtual appliances based on the configuration metadata. The processor(s) acquire a disk size of the custom virtual appliance based on configuration metadata. The processor(s), for a specific virtual appliance in the list: acquire a disk size of the specific virtual appliance; and determine, based on the disk size conversion information, whether the specific virtual appliance is required to convert a disk size of the custom virtual appliance. In response to determining that a candidate virtual appliance from the list is required to convert the virtual disk, the processor(s) construct the candidate virtual appliance as the custom virtual appliance.

  • Publication number: 20170351730
    Abstract: According to an aspect, a method for correcting an invalid script in a web application includes determining an invalid reference in an invalid script. A storage location is determined in a database corresponding to the invalid reference based on a data relationship mapping, wherein the data relationship mapping indicates the correspondence between the reference and a storage location in the database. An up-to-date value at the storage location is queried and he queried up-to-date value is determined to be the correct value of the invalid reference.

  • Publication number: 20170270167
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving a data stream and dividing the data stream into one or more data artefacts for one or more time intervals. The computer-implemented method further includes generating one or more contexts. Each of the one or more contexts are for at least one of the one or more time intervals. The computer-implemented method further includes storing each of the one or more data artefacts in shared storage. The shared storage is accessible for each of the one or more contexts. The computer-implemented method further includes, for each context of the one or more contexts: determining a dependency for the context; monitoring the context for a completion of said dependency; and responsive to the completion, releasing the dependency. The computer-implemented further includes removing those of the one or more data artefacts that do not belong to the dependency for any of the one or more contexts.

  • Patent number: 9645799
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method for providing a technical solution for model driven development. Program code is analyzed to determine the execution sequence of states of the program code. The program code is generated by performing a first transformation to a model. The model includes an abstract description of a business implemented by the program code. At least part of the statement of the program code is grouped into functional blocks. A visual representation of the program code is created. The visual representation is based on the execution sequence and the functional blocks. A code snipped is determined to be preserved in the program code based on a user's annotation of the visual representation. The code snippety is to be preserved in new program code generated by performing a second transformation to the model. The second transformation is executed after the first transformation.
