Abstract: An enterprise management software system that provides a methodology for transient data storage, user action handling and dependent object creation process. When a dependent object is required to be added, the software system may remember the action without creating the dependent object. When a command is received to cancel the dependent object creation, the software system may work only on the transient data at a frontend and will not interact with backend. The dependent object may be instantiated when receiving a user command to save any entered data. Responsive to the user command, the software system may collect user input and trigger dependent object instantiation process at the backend.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods, systems, and computer program products for correlating messages. The method can include identifying a message received at an end point associated with executing business process instances. Attributes of the message are identified. The message can be associated with a defined set of relevant attributes associated with a correlation condition of business process instances associated with the end point. A message context fingerprint hash calculated using the attributes of the identified message is generated. The message context fingerprint hash is uniquely associated with the identified message and compared to a number of business process instance fingerprint hashes. The business process instance fingerprint hashes can be generated from a number of business process instance associated with the end point.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method comprising receiving a user request. The method analyzes the data in a plurality of data sets to find inconsistent mappings. Data of data sets, such as columns formed by a join condition, are compared to determine matching or non-matching distinct characteristic values. A composite data set is generated based on the comparison. Another data set is compared with the composite data set, and the composite data set is enhanced. Each data set is compared in sequence, if the composite data set is not empty, until all data sets are analyzed. A result set is generated based on the matching or non-matching distinct characteristic values. The method may also determine if a join operates as a data filter. The operations that are used for analysis may include ‘count distinct’, ‘intersection’ and ‘Boolean operators’.

In various embodiments, the generic input field of the interface may include a drop-down menu offering user selection from a plurality of available input types. The interface may reduce an amount of time consuming, error-prone manual activity required to navigate between, select, and enter data into multiple fields located in different regions of a screen. Embodiments may be particularly suited for interfaces with portable devices having small displays and cramped input environments (e.g. small keys, touchscreens, touchpads).

Abstract: A cost monitoring system can monitor a cost of queries executing in a complex event processing system, running on top of a pay-as-you-go cloud infrastructure. Certain embodiments may employ a generic, cloud-platform independent cost model, multi-query optimization, cost calculation, and/or operator placement techniques, in order to monitor and explain query cost down to an operator level. Certain embodiments may monitor costs in near real-time, as they are created. Embodiments may function independent of an underlying complex event processing system and the underlying cloud platform. Embodiments can optimize a work plan of the cloud-based system so as to minimize cost for the end user, matching the cost model of the underlying cloud platform.

Abstract: A multi-tenant system can be switched to a downtime state to implement a transition from a current state to a target state of a core software platform. During a second phase of the transition an error associated with tenant-specific content of a first customer tenant of the plurality of customer tenants of the multi-tenant system can be identified. The second phase can be suspended for the first customer tenant while continuing the second phase for a remainder of the plurality of customer tenants for which an error has not been identified. After a scheduled duration of the downtime state, the multi-tenant system can be reactivated such that the multi-tenant system incldues the remainder of the plurality of customer tenants with the transition implemented and the first customer tenant either with the transition implemented if the error has been corrected or without the transition implemented if the error has not been corrected.

Abstract: A range k-nearest neighbor search query of a database is processed by first defining an inner rectangle bounded within a circle around a center point specified by the range k-nearest neighbor search query. Thereafter, a distance to the center point is calculated for each point within the inner rectangle. Query results are returned if k or more points are within the inner rectangle. Otherwise, at least one additional query is executed. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

Abstract: Storage pages in a data storage application can be designated as having one of a used status, a free status, and a shadow status. The storage pages having the shadow status remain in use but available for conversion to the free status after completion of a savepoint. The storage pages designated to the shadow status can be assigned among at least a first group and a second group. A first savepoint can be invoked during which the storage pages designated to the shadow status and assigned to the first group are converted to the free status, and a second savepoint can be invoked during which the storage pages designated to the shadow status and assigned to the second group are converted to the free status. In this manner, locking of the system during a savepoint is not required. Related methods, systems, and articles of manufacture are also disclosed.
