Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein are systems and methods for use with a microservices or other computing environment, including a web server together with related libraries and features usable to build cloud-native applications or services. The system provides, by means of a header enumeration, an abstraction that allows message headers to be treated as objects, accessible via an application program interface that supports multiple communication protocols and allows clients and servers to communicate request/response messages using any of the supported protocols. When a request message with a known header type is encountered, the system can obtain an indexed value from the enumeration, if available, and provide the associated data directly to the process to which the request is directed, and/or cache the header value for later use.

Abstract: Disclosed communication flow modeling solution is significantly streamlined in a user friendly way to shield users from the technical complexities usually required. At design time, an orchestration flow modeling application receives user instruction to open or create a communication flow modeling project. Per configuration specific to an enterprise associated with the user, a custom drag-and-drop communication flow modeling environment with a canvas and modeling entities is provided. Responsive to the user dragging and dropping a set of modeling entities from the menu onto the communication flow modeling canvas and drawing connections between them, the orchestration flow modeling application logically connects the modeling entities to form a valid communication flow and stores it in a database. The communication flow undergoes an approval process. Once approved, it is activated for execution by an orchestration server.

Abstract: Method and system are provided for scoring events as likely cause events in a resource network. The method processes incoming events relating to resources in a resource network to correlate related events as a related group and maps the events of the related group onto nodes of a sub-topology representing resources of the resource network and having edges representing relationships between the resources. The method scores each event by discovering one or more paths between the node event and other node events of the related group, with the scoring based on a combination of an event classification weight and a discovered path score of aggregated relationship scores of edges of a discovered path.

Abstract: Techniques for redirecting a client device from a server to a mini-server are disclosed herein. Initially, the client device establishes a connection with the server. The server provides a landing page to the client device, where the landing page is programmed to include an element that, when selected, redirects the client device away from its connection with the server. In response to a selection of the element, the client device establishes a connection with the mini-server. The mini-server is part of a first local area network (LAN), and, as a result of switching networks, the client device is now a part of a second LAN. The two LANs are connected to one another via a network bridge. The mini-server is able to receive input from the client device and synchronize that input across other mini-servers in the first LAN in order to redundantly store the input.
