  • Publication number: 20160239277
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for allowing for field size calculation and color coding display options usable in an emulated integrated development environment (IDE). A user may be able to quickly and accurately calculate the field size of variables in a code structure, irrespective of the length of the structure or the number of variables selected. The user may also be able to match the variables with their redefinitions accurately and easily when required. A user may also be able to easily identify the names of sections, paragraphs, referenced variables, and unreferenced variables visually in a code editor. The users may also be able to assign colors of his choice to the sections, paragraphs, referenced variables, and unreferenced variables.

  • Publication number: 20160232043
    Abstract: A global cache of automation variables may be established for a computing environment. Message event reports may be received and parsed at an application manager. Based on the message event report, variables may be stored in a global cache for use by several different disparate computer systems executing different operating systems. If a system reboot or failure occurs, the variables may be retrieved from the global cache and transmitted to the required systems to restore operations.

  • Patent number: 9411710
    Abstract: A method for testing a computer application includes identifying components of a version of the application, said components including one or more components that are one of new and modified, generating a keyword matrix of the identified application components. A search is performed in a test script repository with respect to components listed as at least one of the first and second dimensions of the matrix. The keyword matrix is populated with test case identification numbers in the search result. Based on the populated keyword matrix, one or more of (a) gaps in test case coverage for the version of the application, and (b) one or more test cases covering the version of the application are identified.

  • Patent number: 9411513
    Abstract: Data on a storage device may be marked as sensitive data and this marked sensitive automatically destroyed (e.g., scrubbed) upon erasure. For example, when sensitive data is erased, new data may be immediately written over the erased sensitive data. To destroy the erased data, random characters and/or a fixed sequence of characters may be written over the erased data. The storage device, the operating system, and/or other software may share tasks related to tracking and scrubbing sensitive data. Scrubbing may include writing a fixed sequence, such as zeroes, or writing random characters of data.

  • Publication number: 20160217291
    Abstract: Read-and-reply console messages may be received and a reply automatically generated. Further, a message system may test the availability of an automation sequence for a computing environment. Test commands may be transmitted to a system to test if automation is available. If automation is available, a message system may receive a read-and-reply console message and transmit the message to a host system where an automation sequence may be performed. After the automation sequence is verified, the read-and-reply console message may be answered.

  • Patent number: 9392034
    Abstract: The embodiments described herein recite a telephone communication system used for handling information such as messages, typically voice mail messages, and, more particularly, is directed to a system that provides distributed session initiation protocol (SIP) silos. Distributed SIP silos (DSS) is a Communications Application Platform (CAP) feature that maintains the site's call capacity even when a signaling server fails. DSS uses multiple non-redundant signaling servers to provide SIP signaling for the same set of media ports. Because there are multiple signaling servers providing signaling for the same set of ports, the failure of one signaling server only terminates the calls it was actively processing and once those calls have been cleaned up, all the available (non-suspended) ports in the configuration are available to the remaining signaling servers.

  • Patent number: 9383985
    Abstract: Deployment packages for applications may be created automatically to deploy unique instances of an application for execution on a computer system. The deployment packages may be created by copying an original deployment package to a new deployment package and modifying properties, attributes, and/or values within the new deployment package. The modified parameters may include a globally-unique identifier (GUID). The modifications to the new deployment package may be performed automatically without access to source code for the application in the original deployment package. The new deployment package may be deployed on a computer system to install a unique instance of the application. Automatic creation of deployment packages may be useful for testing multiple copies of an application in parallel on a computer system.

  • Publication number: 20160189085
    Abstract: Technology may be used to modify and improve the process of assembling a response. An automated proposal may be generated by storing databases with information regarding experts and their availability. The database may be generated by monitoring other server systems within a network, such as email and instant messaging systems. A method may include identifying topics of interest in a request for proposal; identifying a credible expert based, at least in part, on the identified key topics; accessing time availability of the credible expert; requesting approval from a supervisor for participation by the credible expert, wherein the approval request includes the time availability of the credible expert; and assembling a response to the request for proposal that identifies the credible expert when approval from the supervisor is received.

  • Patent number: 9380047
    Abstract: A server system may be configured to receive a request for a connection from a client application. The server system may also be configured to determine if the client application is permitted to connect with the server. The connection with the client application may be prohibited if the server determines that the client application is not permitted to connect with the server. A secure connection with the client application may be permitted if the server determines that the client application is permitted to connect with the server. The secure connection may be established with the security protocol settings specified by a process on the server or shared security protocol settings specified by on a server system-wide basis.

  • Publication number: 20160182452
    Abstract: The embodiments described herein recite a geo-location based community of interest (COI) system and method which add the capability to configure Network Connect Devices (NCD) to identify the location of the source and destination IP addresses. The NCDs would then drop any packets that are destined to an IP address outside of its predefined radius. For any sent/received packets, the geo-location position of the remote IP-address on the wide area network (WAN) may be determined. The distance between two points on the earth given their latitudes and longitudes of the devices may be determined. If the distance is greater than the predefined range, the data packets may be denied. If the distance falls within the pre-determined range, the data packets are allowed to reach their destination.
