The method further includes submitting a query to a content repository, for each asset including the first field identifier, receiving a first asset including the first field identifier and a second asset including the first field identifier, and extracting a first variability tag from the first asset and a second variability tag from the second asset based on the first asset having a matching asset property value to the second asset. The first asset and second asset are scored based at least on the first variability tag and at least on the second variability tag to obtain a first and second score, respectively. The method further includes selecting the first asset based on the first score and the second score, and transmitting the first asset as the application content.

Abstract: Techniques are described for dynamically adjusting the layout of an organizational chart being presented inside a browser window. Adjusting the layout of the organization chart has certain advantages such as ensuring that the organizational chart can be displayed in the browser window with minimal scrolling. The direct reports of a manager can be presented as a matrix in the organizational chart when the manager is selected. In one example, the layout of the matrix can be a vertical vector or a two dimensional vector depending on the number of direct reports the manager has. In another example, the layout of the matrix can change depending on the space available within the browser window to display the matrix. In other examples, the organizational chart can also be scaled based on the screen resolution or screen size of the client device that is presenting the organizational chart.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving a search label and accessing a hierarchical data source comprising a plurality of nodes. One node may be a context node. The method further includes determining a similarity score between the search label and a node label of each node, determining a contextual score between the context node and each node, combining, for each node, the similarity score with the contextual score to yield a combined score, and returning a result. The result may be based on ordering the plurality of nodes according to each node's combined score. A corresponding computer program product and computer system are also disclosed.

Abstract: A system may receive a request for access to a first variable. The request may include a requested action and a variable identifier for the first variable. The request may also have a syntax that is incompatible with first data storage format. The system may parse the request to capture the variable identifier from the request. The system may also look up a location of the first variable in a catalog using the variable identifier. The location of the first variable may include the first data storage format. The system may generate a query to access the first variable. The syntax of the query may be compatible with the first data storage format. The system may then submit the query to the first data storage format. The query may be configured to complete the requested action.

Abstract: A mechanism for migrating data from a database management system to a remote data store may maintain a row-level mapping of keys to locations, where the location comprises the original location or one of a plurality of destination partitions. Requests to read and write data may be redirected during migration and processed by storing the requested data in one of the destination partitions and updating the row-level mapping. Additional data may be migrated by a background process.

Abstract: Implementations are provided herein for dynamic ephemeral point-in-time snapshots being taken upon read requests from clients associated with object protocols and/or other protocols that depend on a consistent read. In response to receiving a read request from a protocol that depends on a consistent read, a point-in-time snapshot can be taken on the read target that maintains the durability of the point-in-time snapshot, in memory, until the client no longer requires access to the file. It can be appreciated that prior to taking the snapshot, in contemporaneously with taking the snapshot, or after the snapshot is taken, a Network File System (“NFS”) client, a Sever Message Block (“SMB”) client, or other clients of network protocols that allow for modifications and overwrites of file data, can open and modify the file that is the basis of the point-in-time snapshot, without repercussion to the object protocol that is using the point-in-time snapshot version of the file for a consistent read view.
