Abstract: A system for recovering a server blade, in a multiple server blade computer, that is lost during a flash update operation on a service processor in the server blade. Because of the flash update failure, the lost server blade is unaware of its location on a management pathway, which in an exemplary form may be a midplane or a bus, which connects the server blade and a management module in a server blade chassis. The lost server blade puts a signal on the management pathway indicating that the flash failed. The signal is put on a special channel reserved for such messages. The management module receives the signal, and then determines which of the multiple server blades are lost due to the flash update failure.

Abstract: Method and system for determining a management complexity factor for an environment, such as an information technology (IT) environment, is disclosed. A management complexity factor represents the needless complexity, inefficiencies and waste in an environment. An IT environment includes different platforms, systems, and components that have an effect on changes and upgrades within the environment. The impact of the changes or upgrades is reduced if the environment has increased coordination, few single points of failure, high information availability, a high level of automation and the like. The management complexity factor is determined by evaluating several metrics according to objective criteria and weighing the metrics according to their importance. Using the management complexity factor, strategies and targets are identified to lower the complexity and inefficiencies within the environment.

Abstract: Chat sessions are managed between at least one sending computer and a receiving computer. A first chat session is initiated by a receiving computer in response to a first request from a first sending computer. A second chat session is initiated by the receiving computer in response to a second request from a second sending computer. The first and second chat sessions are prioritized in accordance with priority parameters to identify a higher priority chat session and a lower priority chat session. The lower priority chat session is restricted until the higher priority chat session is downgraded to a priority level that is below the lower priority chat session.

Abstract: A method of optimizing communication and processing functions between disparate applications includes sending, from a first application to a disparate second application, a request message. The request message, which has a reduced data size for optimizing communication, is formatted in a first request-format to provide unique data elements relevant to processing the request message. The received request message is reformatted into a second request format, and is then forwarded to a third application. The third application creates a response message that is in a first response format, and sends the response message to the second application. Each received response message is queued, by a messaging application, into a response message collection corresponding to a message type, before sending the response group to the first application.

Abstract: A router includes a relatively low bandwidth communication connection to a small computer, a relatively high bandwidth communication connection to a communication network; and a processing unit for executing in the router a set of permit rules for permitting flow of communication packets with respect to the connections for user initiated sessions, the permit rules including a default rule for discarding all packets with respect to the small computer in traffic not pertaining to sessions initiated by the small computer.

Abstract: Provided are methods, apparatus and computer programs for applying access controls to control operations on hierarchically organized data processing system resources. A number of different scopes of applicability can be set in association with an access control, such as an ACL, and this will determine the inheritability, non-inheritability or limited inheritability of the access control for resources in the hierarchy. When a request is received to perform an operation, the access controls for the relevant branch of the hierarchy are processed to determine an applicable access control—taking account of inheritance attributes which have been set for individual access controls. The invention is useful for controlling the application of ACLs to topics in a topic tree within a publish/subscribe message broker.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer-readable medium for assembling objects in an IDE is presented. The method includes the steps of creating a pre-drop assembly area in an Integrated Development Environment (IDE); combining multiple component descriptors in the pre-drop assembly area, wherein the multiple component descriptors are interpreted through an extensible language mechanism that contains a plurality of extensible solutions; and upon a determination that combined multiple component descriptors have met a pre-defined condition, committing the combined multiple component descriptors to execution. In one embodiment, only one solution from the plurality of extensible solutions is used to interpret the multiple component descriptors, wherein the one solution is selected according to a user role of a user who is utilizing the IDE.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method, data processing system and computer program product in which a plurality of software executable libraries (sub-libraries) are combined into a single software executable library. The single library comprises a plurality of register functions, each associated with a particular sub-library and each sub-library comprises one or more functions. When the library receives a request to register from a library manager it calls each of the register functions, each of which register the one or more functions of its associated sub-library with the library manager. Advantageously the library manager can subsequently interface with each sub-library as if the sub-library was a standalone library. Further a register function can be used for a library whether the library is sub-library or a standalone library, thereby reducing the effort to switch from one to the other.

Abstract: A computer-implementable method, system and computer-readable medium for providing in-context total document views for manipulating data are presented. In one embodiment, the method includes the steps of: displaying an active context of a software program on a User Interface (UI); receiving a copy command for a copied element from the active context; in response to a control signal, displaying an access view of one or more secondary contexts of the software program; temporarily activating a selected context from the secondary contexts shown in the access view while continuing to display the active context on the UI; and pasting the copied element into the selected context. Preferably, in response to the copied element being pasted into the selected secondary context, the access view is automatically removed from the UI.
