Abstract: Techniques for renaming a module in a module system are disclosed. It is determined that a first module is declared with a corresponding first module name. It is determined that the first module is associated with a second module name. Responsive to determining that the first module is associated with the second module name: a second module declared with the second module name is synthesized, and a dependency of the second module, with the second module name, is declared on the first module with the first module name.

Abstract: In order to provide effective diagnostics and logging of error messages produced during the execution of processes across multiple components, systems and methods are disclosed for the generating, managing, and processing centralized logs containing those error messages. In particular, the components may write error messages to a centralized log instead of writing the error messages to local log files. These error messages may include exception messages and diagnostics messages. These various error messages in the centralized log can be read, identified, and organized. Furthermore, enrichments and/or analytics may be applied to the error messages based on information from a knowledge source or the application of one or more machine learning models. The organized error messages, enrichments, and analytics can be stored in an output log that can be easily retrieved and viewed through a graphical interface.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for assembling statistics for diagnosing performance and scalability issues in SOA systems. Key statistics related to key points in a SOA system, for key activities during processing of transactions in the SOA system, are collected and aggregated. The statistics may include message flow rates and latency at key points in the system during a time interval, and execution times for key activities in the system during the time interval. The statistics for the time interval may be added to corresponding cumulative statistics, and persisted to storage. Reports may be generated based upon the statistics to present to a user. Automated processes may be implemented to use the statistics to identify the existence and likely cause of SOA application performance issues, and potentially to attempt to remediate the issues.

Abstract: An example method facilitates verifying behaviors, functionality, and user interface display screens of a post-upgrade software system by comparing output thereof with a pre-upgrade software system. The example method includes accepting a first signal from a user input device to identify, at least in part, a first set of pre-upgrade output data items from the pre-upgrade software system; accepting a second signal from a user input device to identify, at least in part, a second set of corresponding post-upgrade output data items from the post-upgrade software system; and performing a consistency validation check between corresponding output data items in the first set and the second set. Accordingly, output data items in an upgraded system are readily validated against a pre-upgrade system. Plugins, as part of an upgrade verification tool, may implement specific tests. This enables enterprise software customers to automate their on-premise upgrade validation processes and to choose tests.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for optimizing handling of breakpoints in a Java debugger agent. Embodiments provide a novel command that allows execution of the application in the debugger to stop or break at the beginning of a next called function or method (e.g., a “break on next called function” or “BNCF” command). When the BNCF command is given to the debugger, a flag may be set in the interpreter of the virtual machine to which the debugger is attached. On encountering a new method or function call, the flag is examined by the interpreter to determine whether it should stop or break in that call. If the flag is set, the interpreter will stop; otherwise the interpreter proceeds.

Abstract: Approaches, techniques, and mechanisms are disclosed for improved caching in database systems that deal with multiple data access patterns, such as in database systems that interface with both OLTP and Data Warehouse clients. A cache is deployed between a database server and a storage system that stores data units. Some of the data units accessed by the database server are buffered within the cache. The data units may be associated with data access patterns, such as a random data access pattern or a scan data access pattern, in accordance with which the database server is or appears to be accessing the data units. A processor selects when to cache data units accessed by the database server, based at least on the associated data access patterns. Recent access counts may also be stored for the data units, and may further be utilized to select when to cache data units.

Abstract: Systems implementing copy-on-write (COW) as described herein may reduce the number of persist barriers executed within a transaction. For instance, a system may eliminate some, most or all persist barriers related to memory allocation/deallocation in COW transactions. A COW implementation may introduce an extra level of indirection between a persistent type instance and the real data type it encloses. A persistent type may include pointers to old and new versions of the enclosed type's instances. Before modifying an object, a transaction may modify a copy-on-write persistent object and create a new copy of the payload. The modified object may be added to a list of objects written to by the transaction. The transaction may be committed by issuing persist barriers in the commit operation.
