  • Patent number: 8935278
    Abstract: A method for searching a web service registry system by use of a search controller. A first search of a service registry program product is performed with a service name received by the search controller from a user. It is determined that the received service name does not have a service description associated with the received service name in the service registry program product. A second search of the service registry program product is coordinated with a candidate service name by use of the search module, wherein the candidate service name is semantically and syntactically interchangeable with the received service name such that the candidate service name identifies the service description associated with the received service name within the service registry program product. The service description is discovered to be associated with the candidate service name within the service registry program product and is subsequently returned to the user.

  • Patent number: 8930327
    Abstract: In production applications that process and transfer secure and sensitive customer data, the heap dump files of these applications, which may be useful for debugging production issues and bugs, may contain secure and sensitive information. Thus, to make the useful debugging information available in heap dumps from production applications without compromising secure client data to those assigned to debugging and fixing production issues, these heap dumps may be scrubbed of sensitive information without scrubbing information that is useful for debugging.

  • Patent number: 8914415
    Abstract: System and method for suffix tree creation for large input data/text streams. The methodology leverages the structure of suffix trees to build a suffix tree by simultaneously tiling accesses to both the input string as well as the partially constructed suffix tree. The end result enables the indexing of very large input strings and at the same time maintain a bounded working set size and a fixed memory footprint. The method is employed for serial processing. Further, a scalable parallel suffix tree construction is realized that is suitable for implementation on parallel distributed memory systems that use effective collective communication and in-network caching. The methodology is also applied for suffix link recovery in both serial and parallel implementations.

  • Patent number: 8886677
    Abstract: A pipelined search engine supports a tree of search keys therein that utilizes span prefix masks to assist in longest prefix match (LPM) detection when the tree is searched. Each of a plurality of the span prefix masks encodes a prefix length of a search key to which the span prefix mask is associated and a value of another search key in the tree that is a prefix match to the search key to which the span prefix mask is associated.

  • Patent number: 8868583
    Abstract: A relationship-information storage unit stores relationships between configuration items. The configuration items belong to an information system and are stored in multiple databases. A first counting unit compares, across the databases, attribute values of one configuration item in each of the databases, thereby counting a matching-attribute-value count. A second counting unit identifies a configuration item having a relationship with the one configuration item, for which the first counting unit counts the matching-attribute-value count, by referring to the relationship-information storage unit. Then, the second counting unit compares, across the databases, attribute values of the identified configuration items to count a matching-attribute-value count. A similarity calculation unit calculates similarity between the configuration items, based on the matching-attribute-value count counted by the first counting unit and the matching-attribute-value count counted by the second counting unit.

  • Patent number: 8862614
    Abstract: Methods and software for automatedly answering dynamic queries requiring fusing of data from various ones of multiple available heterogeneous data sources. The data sources are characterized and interrelated using a suitable ontology. In one implementation, each dynamic query is analyzed to determine the data items required to answer that query, along with their levels of detail. The data items and levels of detail are used to determine which ones of the multiple data sources are needed to answer the query. The data items, levels of detail, and the ontology of the data sources are then used to automatedly develop a data-fusing plan for fusing data from the needed data sources in a manner that answers the query. The data-fusing plan is executed, and the query is answered.

  • Patent number: 8856083
    Abstract: A bulk delete operation with reduced latency allows for retrieval of deleted data. Each database object holds a Delete SCN indicating when a bulk delete operation was last performed. Each row in the database object holds a Row Modification SCN indicating when the row was last updated. A bulk delete is performed by writing the old value of the Delete SCN to the undo tablespace and updating the Delete SCN. No undo information is stored for the rows. A write is performed by finding a deleted row, storing undo information for the deleted row and writing over the deleted row. To read from the database object, a rollback operation is performed, if necessary. Those rows are then retrieved for which the Row Modification SCN is higher than the Delete SCN and is less than or equal to the timestamp for the requested data.

  • Patent number: 8843526
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described that involve determining the memory consumption of a specific application. The memory analysis identifies the dynamic memory objects controlled by a particular application and the memory objects controlled by the framework running that application. A structured view of the memory objects of the framework with respect to the individual framework architecture is presented in combination with the application specific memory object graph. A resulting display, in the form of a dominator tree, allows detecting dependencies of the application to the framework and shows which part of the framework is responsible for keeping alive which part of the application. Moreover, the resulting structure shows memory consumption of a single element of the application including bound memory and object memory. Further, a user can identify the references and the dependencies among the memory objects.

  • Patent number: 8843462
    Abstract: The present principles provide systems and methods for displaying associations between data files and logical assets including the data files. Upon user-selection of a representation of a logical asset, a method in accordance with an aspect of the present principles includes determining associations between data files and the logical asset and displaying a listing of data files associated with the logical asset. Conversely, the method may also include presenting a listing of logical assets associated with a user-selected data file upon determination of logical assets associated with the data file. Moreover, another aspect of the present principles permits bi-directional navigation capability between a logical asset associations view and a physical asset associations view.

  • Patent number: 8838620
    Abstract: A solution for managing data in which historical execution information for a process is used to determine a set of data requirements for the process. The set of data requirements is then used to move data for the process from a slower storage device (e.g., a magnetic tape) to a faster storage device (e.g., a hard drive) before the process requests the data object (e.g., prefetch). In this manner, the prefetched data can be provided when requested by the process without delaying its execution while the data is moved from the slower storage device to the faster storage device.
