  • Publication number: 20210081197
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to availability level-based service management. In an embodiment, a computer-implemented method is disclosed. According to the method, it is detected initiation of a request from a first microservice to a second microservice. The first and second microservices are comprised in a plurality of microservices of an application. The request comprises an expected availability level for the application. In response to a current availability level of the application being higher than or equal to the expected availability level and in response to determining that the execution of the second microservice is unavailable, the request is caused to be routed to a simulated microservice of the second microservice.

  • Patent number: 10949271
    Abstract: An enhanced copy-and-paste function copies multiple logical and physical software objects from a source computing environment to a distinct target computing environment. A physical object can be any software-data entity, such as a document, a container, a database, or a disk image. A logical object contains a hierarchy of two or more physical or logical objects. Objects are copied to a logical copy clipboard, where they may be assembled into logical objects. Each physical object is then transferred one at a time to a conventional physical clipboard, transmitted to a corresponding physical clipboard in a corresponding target environment, and then forwarded to a logical paste clipboard, where the original logical objects are reconstructed and pasted into the target environment. Each logical object may be pasted into multiple target environments and may contain physical objects copied from multiple source environments. Multiple logical objects may contain the same physical object.

  • Patent number: 10915532
    Abstract: Provided are techniques for supporting a join operation against multiple NoSQL databases. A search request with a field and a value for the field is received, wherein the search request is to be issued against a plurality of database divisions formed from NoSQL databases. A simple database search is performed against a structured index to generate a first result set. An extended database search is performed against a linear database division index to generate a second result set by: identifying a relationship for the field that identifies related fields and identifying documents for the field and the related fields using a linear database division index. The first result set and the second result set are merged to form a merged result set of documents. The documents from the merged result set are displayed in response to the search request.

  • Patent number: 10891111
    Abstract: A processor within a networked distributed drafting platform generates a public key-value context file that includes initial default key-value mappings between keywords and values for use in a distributed drafting project. Refined project-level key-value mappings are elected by considering differences between the initial default key-value mappings and personal key-value mappings within a set of distributed personal key-value context files each maintained by different drafters of the distributed drafting project. The initial default key-value mappings of the public key-value context file are updated with the elected refined project-level key-value mappings within the networked distributed drafting platform.

  • Patent number: 10885052
    Abstract: A database processing system includes a coordinator agent controller and a virtual node data base. The coordinator agent controller detects a request to access a database by an application program and to extracts database objects from a database protocol stream based on a requirement requested by the application program. The virtual node database is generated according to the extracted database objects. The virtual node database includes memory dump storage that stores the database objects extracted from the database protocol stream, and based on the database objects the virtual node database generates virtual database objects corresponding to the database protocol stream. The extraction of database objects is performed directly on the database protocol stream without communicating with a target real database.
