Abstract: A method and system for processing instruction information. Each instruction information character string of a sequence of instruction information character strings are sequentially extracted and processed. Each instruction information character string pertains to an associated target object wrapped in a target object storage unit by an associated operation target model. It is independently ascertained for each instruction information character string whether to generate a code line for each instruction information character string, by: determining whether a requirement is satisfied and generating the code line and storing the code line in a code buffer if the requirement has been determined to be satisfied and not generating the code line if the requirement has been determined to not be satisfied. The requirement relates to whether the instruction information character string being processed comprises a naming instruction or a generation instruction.

Abstract: The present disclosure involves computer-implemented methods, software, and systems for managing a transition between business process models. A computer-implemented method includes in parallel with a first business process model, instantiating, using at least one hardware processor, a second business process model, instantiating a temporary exit process step of a set of temporary exit process steps associated with the first business process model and a temporary entry process step of a set of temporary entry process steps associated with the second business process model, coupling an exit transition rule of a set of exit transition rules associated with the first business process model to the first business process model, and activating the exit transition rule after activating the second business process model.

Abstract: A file system which ensures that some of the (desired) files (“linear files”) are stored in corresponding exclusive blocks (i.e., a block that stores data corresponding to one file only). Due to such a feature, rewriting of data corresponding to other files would not cause data corresponding to linear files to be relocated/rewritten. Such a feature may provide reliable and steady retrieval of data of the corresponding file from a flash memory organized as sectors. According to another aspect, some of the files (“non-linear files”) are stored in non-exclusive blocks (i.e., multiple files can share the same block or the same file can span multiple blocks without contiguity).

Abstract: TSQL debug breakpoint interoperability across heterogeneous project systems within an IDE can be provided. A user can set a breakpoint in the user's SQL source code and the breakpoint can be triggered by the code within another project. Breakpoints can be set and triggered within SQL source code tiles that reside in one or more SQL Database projects. Binding of the application project being debugged with one or more SQL Database projects that reside within the IDE session can be automated, SQL artifacts not found in any of the SQL Database projects can be debugged.

Abstract: A method for executing native code in a distributed Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is disclosed herein. The method may include receiving, in a first thread executing in a remote execution container, a first native code-generated call, such as a Java Native Interface (JNI) call, to a second thread, the first call including a first array write request. The first call may be stored in an instruction cache and bundled with a second native code-generated call and sent to the second thread. The calls are unbundled and executed in the second thread. An opaque handle to an array returned by the second call is bundled with corresponding array data and returned to the first thread. The array data of the bundle is stored in a data cache and retrieved in response to requests for the array data addressed to the second thread. A corresponding computer program product is also disclosed.

Abstract: Disclosed here are methods, systems, paradigms and structures for incrementally compiling scripts at runtime to generate executable code. In a first phase, an executable block for a basic block of the script is generated for a set of types of variables of the basic block. In a second phase, a set of executable blocks whose profiling information, such as frequency of (a) execution, (b) transition between executable blocks, or (c) execution of a path, satisfies an optimization criterion is identified, and an executable control region is generated. In a third phase, profiling information from a number of systems in a distributed environment is aggregated, and an executable control region corresponding to the aggregated profile is generated. The executable code generated in each of the phases is more optimal than the code generated in a previous phase, and is used for execution until replaced by the code of a subsequent phase.

Abstract: Web portal application customization methods and systems using profiles allow developers to expose different functionalities and a different look and feel to users belonging to different user profiles. Specifically, the method allows a developer to define default and profile-specific transitions as well as default and profile-specific states. Upon request of a transition by a workflow engine, the system transparently provides the workflow engine with a profile-specific transition if a profile-specific transition associated with the user is available. If a profile-specific transition is not available, the system provides the application with a default transition. Likewise, the system transparently provides the application with a profile-relevant state according to the profile of the user and the availability of a profile-specific state. Accordingly, the method may implement highly customizable functionalities and look and feel effectively and cost-efficiently.

Abstract: Reconfiguring a model [600] is described. An instruction is accessed [605], wherein the instruction comprises utilizing one or more model elements to reconfigure a model. A refinement chain is utilized [610] to access a portion of the model, the portion being non-variable and associated with the instruction, and wherein the refinement chain tracks design changes for the model. A specific instance is located [615], the specific instance being closest to the portion within the refinement chain at which an inclusion of the one or more model elements alters a performance of the model to reflect the inclusion. The model is re-instantiated [620] utilizing the one or more model elements beginning at the specific instance, thereby enabling a reconfiguration of the model according to the instruction.
