Abstract: A system and process that manages access to a resource in an enterprise service-oriented architecture environment. The system recognizes a master for each resource that has ultimate control over the respective resource. The master grants access to the resource though a lock system. If a system does not relinquish access to the resource, then the master is able to reclaim the lock to ensure the continued availability of the resource to all systems. This system ensures data coherency, while also improving performance by diminishing the amount of time a resource is unnecessarily locked and the time to obtain a lock.

The first database application has a first access schema such that at least one table in the data schema is linked to the first access schema. The second version of the database application has a second access schema such that at least one table in the data schema is linked to the second access schema. Subsequently, concurrent access is provided for each access schema to at least one database table in the data schema to the first and second versions of the database application. The concurrent access is enabled by a respective at least one table link object in each of the first access schema and the second access schema that is used by database views or stored procedures such access schema.

Abstract: Secure communication between processes in cloud platform may be performed by receiving a request from a client application process hosted in an application virtual machine at a load balancer. A first secure communication channel is established between the client application process and the load balancer. The first secure communication channel is encrypted with the client certificate. The first secure communication channel is terminated at the load balancer. A service process in a service virtual machine is identified based on the request received from the client application process. A new request is sent to the service virtual machine to establish a second secure communication channel between the load balancer and the service virtual machine. The load balancer certificate signed by the internal certificate authority is validated at the service virtual machine. Upon successful validation of the load balancer certificate, the second secure communication channel is accepted at the service virtual machine.

Abstract: A computer-implemented fraud detection system comprises a processor and memory storing computer-readable instructions for causing a computer to perform a method for determining potentially fraudulent records. The method performed by the computer comprises executing a trial fraud detection strategy routine on historic records in a database, the trial detection strategy comprising multiple rules including at least one weighting factor. The method further includes calculating an efficiency of the trial fraud detection strategy based on the multiple rules and executing an iterative routine to optimize adjusting the at least one weighting factor. An adjusted fraud detection strategy that incorporates the adjusted weighting factor is set.
