Abstract: Data is processed in a distributed computing environment with at least one server and a plurality of clients comprising at least a first client and a second client. The first client sends a first request to the server to obtain result data, receives raw data from the server as a response to the first request, processes the raw data to obtain the result data and stores the result data, and sends the result data to the second client in response to receiving a third request to obtain the result data from the second client.

The method further comprises: generating a test identifier for identifying that a message is being used for testing purposes; transmitting, by the injector microservice, the test input message to the first microservice using the test input communication mechanism, wherein the test input message comprises the test identifier; identifying, by the injector microservice, an output message transmitted via the test output communication mechanism that comprises the test identifier; and recording, by the injector microservice, the output message comprising the test identifier.

Abstract: A device, system and method for providing ancillary objects from a cache and/or for providing categorized provider objects is provided. One or more servers receive a flight object representing a flight and search an ancillary object cache for predetermined ancillary objects associated with previous flights similar to the flight. When one or more of the predetermined ancillary objects, associated with at least one previous flight similar to the flight, are found at the ancillary object cache, a requesting device is provided with a response corresponding to the flight object and the one or more of the predetermined ancillary objects associated with the at least one previous flight similar to the flight. The flight objects and the ancillary objects may be assembled into provider objects which are provided to the requesting device. The provider objects may be categorized based on provider object categorization criteria associated with the requesting device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing decentralized tokenization with mapping data devoid of sensitive data. A node receives a set of index-key pairs generated by a randomization service external to the node. Each index-key pair in the set of index-key pairs defines a particular index value mapped to a particular random key value. The node creates a mapping structure using the set of index-key pairs. Data-in-transit comprising sensitive data is received. A tokenization service of the node generates a token for the sensitive data using the mapping structure.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining a set of routes using a graph having nodes and links connecting the nodes. The routes are determined for one or more tokens, and each token is associated with an origin node and a destination node included in the graph and with a token weight. Token constraints, which include at least one constraint relative to the token weight, are received for each token. Candidate routes satisfying at least some of the token constraints are received for each token. Each candidate route includes at least one route link included in the graph and the each route link is associated with a link weight. Shared route links are those route links that share at least two tokens. The candidate routes are filtered based on a condition related to the link weight of each shared route link and to the weights of the tokens sharing the link.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for implementing a payment orchestrator simulation process. A simulation initiation request including a user selected rules configuration is received at a simulation server via a simulation user interface on a user device. Rule events information associated with the simulation initiation request is obtained from a rule events server. A rule evaluation request is sent to a rules engine. Rule evaluation information associated with the rule evaluation request is obtained from the rules engine. Simulation results based on the rule evaluation information are determined. The simulation results are sent to the user device via the simulation user interface.

Abstract: Data is handled in a distributed computing environment comprising at least one server and a plurality of clients comprising at least a first client and a second client. The first client sends a first request for data to the second client, receives a first response from the second client as a response to the first quest, determines a probability of validity of the data requested based on a validity indication included in the first response indicating a probability that the data requested from the second client is invalid. The first client determines that the data requested by the first request and available from the second client is likely invalid, sends a second request to the server to obtain the data from the server and receives the data from the server.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system and a method for facilitating the consistent update of routing tables across the routers of a routing layer in a distributed messaging system. The routers are configured to send together with the outbound message the routing table version used to route the outbound message, which is compared, at the level of the enqueue layer, with the latest deployed routing table version and/or the latest routing table version used to route messages to the requested message queue. If the routing table version of the outbound message is older than the latest deployed routing table version and/or the latest routing table version used to route messages to the requested message queue, then the outbound message is rejected, otherwise, the message is enqueued to the requested message queue.

Update at least a first and a second of the multiple data records during the first session in the memory of the first server. A database transaction mechanism writes back the multiple data records after updating the at least first and second data records to the database which insures that either all or none of the updated database records are committed. The database transaction mechanism includes a write lock over the first and second data records stored in the database.

Abstract: Systems and methods for modifying electronic mail having receipt data for interception by mail transport agents. An invoice email sent by an email server is received when a transport agent of the email server detects a pattern within content of an inbound email. The invoice email is parsed to extract receipt data and an email address that identifies a recipient of the inbound email. The receipt data is pushed to an expense management system associated with the recipient for further processing.

Abstract: A search engine is configured to determine a set of main products that match search criteria of a search request. A search binary mask is generated based on the search criteria indicated in the search request which identify one or more ancillary products. If the search binary mask matches a reference binary mask representing the requested ancillary products, the main products are selected for the response to the search request. The search engine also verifies a current availability of the ancillary products associated with the selected main products and returns at least one of the main products for which the current availability has been determined.
