The processor is configured to: determine whether the indication to set the secure mode comprises an indication to set a certificate mode; in the event that the indication to set the secure mode comprises an indication to set a certificate mode: 1) detect one or more connected systems for which to set the certificate mode; 2) select one or more certificates for the certificate mode; 3) update initialization files for the certificate mode; and 4) reinitialize local and one or more connected systems.

Abstract: The subject disclosure is generally directed towards caching property values in a sparse cache for use in translating notifications to contain previous and source property values, e.g., for use in SMI-S compliant notifications (modification indications). When a modification indication that needs a previous instance and source instance, but only the source instance is available, a cache is accessed to obtain the previous property value. The modification indication is translated to contain the previous and source instance, and output, e.g., to a client subscriber. The cache is updated with the property values of the source instance in anticipation of being needed for a subsequent modification indication of that property.

The heat sink also includes a membrane attached to the cavity and an actuator of the membrane, causing the membrane to oscillate. The oscillation of the membrane causes inflow and outflow of a medium through the nozzle.

Abstract: Action flow fragment management includes executing a parent action flow including multiple steps. At least two steps are distinct pages of a web application. During execution of the parent action flow, an action flow fragment expression is obtained and executed using data gathered from a data source to obtain an action flow fragment identifier. An action flow fragment corresponding to the action flow fragment identifier is selected and executed. When execution of the action flow fragment completes, execution of the parent action flow continues.

Abstract: In one example of a backup method, a backup process is started but experiences a failure prior to completion of the backup such that only a first portion of the set of data is backed up prior to the failure. A failed saveset associated with a second portion of the set of data is discarded, and a retry started. The retry includes performing an incremental backup of the first portion of the set of data and performing either a full or incremental backup of the second portion of the data. Upon successful completion of the retry, the incremental backup of the first portion of the set of data is combined with the backup of the second portion of the set of data to create a restore saveset. The restore saveset is used to create a full backup image that includes a full backup of the set of data.

Abstract: In one example, a method for validating a user includes transmitting, to a management server, a request for a shared secret, and receiving, from the management server, the shared secret. Next, the shared secret received from the management server is compared to a secret identified in a user request for access to a backup of data associated with a computing device. The user is granted access to the backup when the shared secret identified by the user matches the shared secret obtained from the management server, and the user is denied access to the backup when the shared secret identified by the user does not match the shared secret obtained from the management server.

Abstract: Classifying an electronic document in a computer-based system is disclosed. For each classification instance in a plurality of classification instances, a confidence data indicating a degree of confidence that the electronic document is associated with that classification instance is determined. A classification, based on a first classification instance in the plurality of classification instances, is assigned without human intervention to the electronic document if the confidence data associated with the first classification instance exceeds a first threshold.

Abstract: A method for referencing and updating objects in a shared resource environment. A reference counter counts is incremented for every use of an object subtype in a session and decremented for every release of an object subtype in a session. A session counter is incremented upon the first instance of fetching an object type into a session cache and decremented upon having no instances of the object type in use in the session. When both the reference counter and the session counter are zero, the object type may be removed from the cache. When the object type needs to be updated, it is cloned into a local cache, and changes are made on the local copy. The global cache is then locked to all other users, the original object type is detached, and the cloned object type is swapped into the global cache, after which the global cache in unlocked.

Abstract: A system and method for Java object storage and retrieval in a non-volatile all flash memory database. Bean annotations define the attributes of objects and object classes that are created using a Java compiler in an all flash Java runtime environment. Object indexes are created based upon these attributes, and a Java object query language using the indexes is employed to locate objects in the all flash memory database. A new transactional model is provided for managing objects and memory in the all flash memory database, and a new garbage collector deletes objects and reclaims memory.

Abstract: Programming methods and products are described for developing and producing installation and/or upgrade software for systems where multiple versions of software are available. Information is stored representing the version of software that is being installed, the version of software being installed having an updated feature. Groups of commands enable the transition from a present version of the software to another version of software having another version of the feature. An example of such a feature is deployment of logical volume partitions. A state machine is executed that consults the stored information to access one or more of the groups of commands. The one or more groups of commands is executed to transition from the present version of the software to the version of software that is being installed having the updated feature. If an error occurs during the execution of a group of commands, then recovery information including remediation commands is executed.
