Abstract: Methods and systems for mapping a sharable resource using a one-time password are disclosed. An identifier included in a set of provided credentials uniquely associates the one-time password with an executable within a computing environment that hosts the sharable resource. When credentials are received in association with a mapping request, it is determined whether a supplied username corresponds to a user authorized to access the sharable resource and whether a representation of a supplied password received in association with the mapping request matches a representation of the one-time password. Validating the mapping request provides access to the sharable resource.

Abstract: A proxy compiler may be used within a native execution environment to enable execution of non-native instructions from a non-native execution environment as if being performed within the native execution environment. In particular, the proxy compiler coordinates creation of a native executable that is uniquely tied to a particular non-native image at the time of creation of the non-native image. This allows a trusted relationship between the native executable and the non-native image, while avoiding a requirement of compilation/translation of the non-native instructions for execution directly within the native execution environment.

Abstract: Systems and methods for implementing a federated database system are presented herein. One or more source databases may store changed data to a target database. Each update of a record in a source database can result in an audit log entry written with the before and after image, a timestamp, and an identifier for the log entry. Using the audit log, the database implementation herein can consolidate updates to any record for a batching event to be processed in an Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) process for export of updates to the target database.

Abstract: Data channels of a computer system may be remotely monitored to detect data channel degradation. A monitoring agent on a client may execute script commands on the remote computer system to monitor input/output (I/O) rates of a set of channels. The monitoring agent may compute an average data rate of the data channels and compare the I/O rate of each channel to the average. When the I/O rate of a channel falls below the average by at least a threshold amount, an alert may be generated to indicate to an administrator a possible failure with the data channel.

Abstract: A method for obtaining access to database files in a computing system includes receiving, at an operating system, a first call from a database management system requesting access to a database file; creating, by the operating system, a data expanse file; and allowing the database management system to request views of data in the data expanse file by using an instruction processor and a view instruction. A computer program product may include a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed by a processor of a computing system, cause the processor to perform the following actions: receiving, at an operating system, a first call from a database management system requesting access to a database file; creating, by the operating system, a data expanse file; and allowing the database management system to request views of data in the data expanse file by using an instruction processor and a view instruction.

Accumulating the first and second commits for testing at once reduces system resources.
