Abstract: A method and apparatus for testing an application. The method displays, by a computer system, simulations of a graphical user interface for the application for a group of different types of devices on a display system. The method further displays, by the computer system, a group of controls in the graphical user interface displayed in the group of different types of devices on the display system. The method still further displays, by the computer system, a change to the graphical user interface in all of the simulations when a user input manipulates a control in a simulation in the simulations. A testing of the graphical user interface for the application for the group of different types of devices is enabled.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for processing information in a big data environment. A target query is received. The target query is run against a catalog to obtain desired fields for search and to filter for specific targets from which data will be extracted. Responsive to the query, particular data is extracted from the specific targets. Extracting includes defining a query pack comprising a configuration file and one or more files containing queries to execute on each target in the specific targets, the configuration file containing a section for each of the one or more files to customize configurations for each of the one or more files, and particular connection information defining relationships among the specific targets. One ingestion daemon is executed for every file of the one or more files in the query pack to produce results. The results are processed in a distributed parallel computing environment.

Abstract: A method and apparatus provide assistance for an application. An assistance manager that identifies user input requesting assistance with a location within the page of the application displayed on a display system for a client device. The assistance manager identifies session information for the application by the computer system in response to identifying the user input requesting assistance. The assistance manager generates synchronized menu options within the application for an interactive voice response system based on the session information identified for the application. The assistance manager presents the synchronized menu options to the user within the interactive voice response system to provide the assistance.

Abstract: An effective dater provides effective dating to object in a runtime environment. The effective dater identifies an access to a first field of a first object during runtime of a program. The first object is not effective date enabled. The effective date of determines whether the effective dating is to be applied to the first field. In response to determining that effective dating is to be applied to the first field, the effective dater redirects the access to a second object. The second object is effective date enabled. The effective dater then accesses the effective dated value in the second field of the second object according to an access context.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for displaying organization information on a display system. A computer system identifies a position of a control displayed in a graphical user interface displayed on the display system. The computer system also identifies the organization information for a time period located in a database that corresponds to the position of the control in the graphical user interface. Further, the computer system displays the organization information identified in the database in the graphical user interface on the display system, wherein a graphical display of the organization information in the graphical user interface in the display system enables presenting the organization information for selected time periods.

Abstract: Aspects define NoSQL database structures that support wide-column, document, and graph data models. Documents are defined with different, unique keys and stored to different rows in a wide-column store by mapping their respective, unique keys directly to different row keys. Columns are defined for the document rows as including pairs of names and values, each column field having a different column name. Graph edges are defined as a function of relationships between a first source document and a second of the documents as tuples of first source document keys, second document keys as targets, tags as labels of relationships, and values of objects associated with the relationships. The graph edges are stored as graph columns within rows of the first source documents with names that are different from names of other columns within the first source document rows.

Abstract: A computer system comprises a display system and a workflow adapter in communication with the display system. The workflow adapter identifies an object within a network. The workflow adapter then received a selection of the object. In response to receiving the selection of the object, the workflow adapter creates a custom group that includes the object. The custom group is a loose association of objects within the network and does not exist as a separate object within the network. The workflow adapter then performs an operation on the group.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for sending messages. A message is received by a proxy in a container running on a computer system from an application in the container. A recipient for the message is identified by the proxy using access information. The message is encrypted by the proxy using the access information. The message to the recipient is sent by the proxy, wherein the access information is received from a controller.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for generating reports. A computer system displays an application with fields in a graphical user interface on a display system. The application is used to perform transactions for an organization. The computer system identifies a group of the fields displayed in the graphical user interface that is selectable for use in a group of the reports. The computer system displays a group of graphical indicators in association with the group of the fields in the graphical user interface. The computer system receives a selection of a portion of the group of the fields displayed in the graphical user interface in user input. The computer system creates the group of the reports using the portion of the group of the fields. The computer system sends the group of the reports to an output device, enabling performing an operation for the organization using the group of the reports.
