Abstract: A method, computer system, and computer program product display a set of tiles within a first area of a graphical user interface. Each tile corresponds to a set of data nodes that are composable structured data objects according to a domain-specific language. A structured data object is composed from selected tiles and is displayed within a second area of the graphical user interface. Displaying the structured data object includes displaying a first tile and a second tile within a context of the structured data object. A value override is displayed at the first tile when a first value of the first set of data nodes is overridden by a second value of the second set of data nodes.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are described for controlling injection of a library into a process. Specifically, some embodiments provide an Advanced Injection Rule Engine (AIRE), which uses a set of rules to selectively inject a library, e.g., a dynamic-link library (DLL), into a process. Some embodiments implement a Domain Specific Language (DSL), called AIRE Script, to define the injection rules that are used by the AIRE at runtime.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods, systems, and computer program products for monitoring a state of an application. A target object that is to be monitored in an application may be determined in response to receiving a monitoring configuration. A position of the target object in source codes of the application may be identified. A state of the target object may be monitored in response to the application being traced to a location corresponding to the position.

Abstract: Disclosed are aspects of proactive high availability that proactively identify and predict hardware failure scenarios and migrate virtual resources to healthy hardware resources. In some aspects, a mapping that maps virtual resources to hardware resources. A plurality of hardware events are identified in association with a hardware resource. A hardware failure scenario is predicted based on a health score of a first hardware resource. A health score is determined based on the hardware events, and a fault model that indicates a level of severity of the hardware events. A particular virtual resource is migrated from the hardware resource to another hardware that has a greater health score.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method and related system for runtime code patching comprises determining, by a runtime, that a runtime event occurred. In response to the determination, performing by the runtime blocking processing of the runtime event, and runtime patching a method in response to an executing thread associated with the method yielding. Each executing thread receives runtime patching and only methods currently executing are runtime patched. Unblocking the runtime event allows execution to continue.

Abstract: Development-time awareness of production environment dependency injection configuration in a software development or test environment. In a software development or test environment, metadata is retrieved relating to configuration data of injection sources and target injection sites in applications of a configured target production server or a representation of a configured target production server. A configuration data structure is formed that cross-references target injection sites and injectable sources determined from the configuration data, the configuration data structure being associated with the production server and available to the software development or test environment. The configuration data structure is referenced to carry out dependency injection related features.

Abstract: A batching module that prepares a plurality of blocked expressions for batch evaluation. The plurality of blocked expressions comprises a plurality of expressions in a blocked state. The batching module divides the plurality of blocked expressions into one or more partitions. For each particular partition of the one or more partitions, a single batch processing call is dispatched to an application server to perform a batch evaluation.

Abstract: Improved messaging applications are described that use a first set of software to test rendering of a message, and if the test is successful the message is allowed to be presented. In one embodiment, a first set of software can attempt to test the renderability of a message and if the test is successful, the message can be stored in a message database. In one embodiment, the first set of software operates in a separate sandbox from a sandbox for a messaging application which displays the message. The first set of software can operate in a first process which is different than a process in which the messaging application runs.
