Abstract: A hash value is determined based on a payload of a message associated with a first system, the hash value related to a message flow instance that includes the message, wherein the payload associates the message with the message flow instance. Upon sending the message to a second system, generating a first event corresponding to the message, wherein the first event includes the hash value. The first event is sent to a monitoring system. The monitoring system receives a second event including the hash value, wherein the hash value included in the second event is determined in association with the second system. Based on the hash value, a relation is determined to associate the first event and the second event with the message flow instance. The message flow instance is reconstructed based on the determined relation.

Abstract: Methods and system are disclosed that generate configurable visual work instructions. In one aspect, information to assemble multiple variants of a product is compiled, determined by multiple routing operations and allocation of multiple components of the product to the multiple routing operations. A sequence of instructions to assemble the multiple variants of the product to verify an order of the multiple routing operations and the allocation of the components to the multiple operations may be simulated. Upon verification, a superset of visual work instructions corresponding to the sequence of instructions to assemble the multiple variants of the product may be generated. Upon receiving a request to assemble a desired variant of the product, a configuration including attributes associated with the desired variant of the product may be generated. Based on the configuration, the superset of visual work instructions may be reduced to a subset of visual work instructions.

Abstract: An SSH module is executed as part of a host computing machine, where code for an secure shell (SSH) agent is integrated with code of the SSH module. Incoming and outgoing host computing machine transactions are collected using the SSH agent which transmits the collected host computing machine transactions to an SSH context agent external to the SSH module. The collected host machine transactions are transmitted to a monitoring server for anomalous transaction detection. The monitoring server returns instructions to perform an action based on an anomalous transaction detection.

Abstract: Key values can be defined at design time (e.g. in a DTTI object) using character strings that include wildcard characters that define multi-dimensional key ranges. Wildcard characters can designate that a single variable character is to be inserted or that a range from zero to multiple characters can be inserted. The use of wildcards can make checks for key intersection non-trivial. During run time, the key values to be accessed from one or more tables are evaluated, and the operation proceeds. An error can occur if the presence of one or more wildcards in two key value strings used in an aggregation operation result in an overlap such that a same record is included more than once.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method stores extension logic for a business context for an application in a backend database system. The extension logic is stored with respect to a database table, business logic to handle transactions in the backend system, and an application programming interface to the application. A request for a custom field is received through a runtime version of the application, the custom field specifying a business context in which the custom field is associated. The method determines the extension logic associated with the business context in the backend database system. Further, the method uses the extension logic to extend the database table with the custom field, extend the business logic to handle transactions for the custom field in the backend system, and extend the application programming interface to the application. The custom field is extended during runtime of the application.

Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods for monitoring IoT gateways are described herein.
