Abstract: Techniques are described for use in database and data management systems to enable a database transaction to read uncommitted data from another database transaction on a selective (e.g., transaction-specific) basis, without requiring a change in the isolation level of either transaction (or related transactions). Accordingly, transaction speeds may be increased, and operations to audit or debug ongoing database transactions are also facilitated.

The user device also includes a search module generating respective search results from each of the plurality of search screens and a search retention module storing the respective search results in a memory of the user device and retrieving saved search results from the memory corresponding to the previously accessed search screen when a previously accessed search screen is displayed. The controller displays the saved search results.

Abstract: This application is related to a data recovery system. The data recovery system includes processing circuitry which receives a restore request. The restore request includes a restore target time. When backup data corresponding to the restore target time is determined to be available, the processing circuitry creates a temporary database service instance and determines information of the temporary database service instance. The processing circuitry further obtains the backup data corresponding to the restore target time and writes the backup data into the temporary database service instance according to the information of the temporary database service instance. The processing circuitry executes a formal restoration operation on the temporary database service instance, in which the backup data is written, according to a received processing request.

Abstract: A system for creating a semantic data warehouse including a convergence service configured to execute queries to connected data sources, to convert data from source to domain semantics, and to aggregate converted data. The convergence service is configured to invoke by an entity graph service that, on demand, defines a semantic entity representation, the needed queries and data sources to be queried; and projects and makes available the resulting data in the semantic entity representation.

Abstract: Apparatus, methods, and computer program products that can anonymously share digital files are disclosed. Various embodiments of an apparatus include a processor of an information handling device and memory that stores code executable by the processor. The code can cause the processor to match a first client to one or more digital files provided by a second client based on a content signature in each of the one or more digital files and notify the first client of a match. The first client can be anonymous to the second client and/or the second client maybe anonymous to the first client. A method and program product can also perform the functions of the apparatus.

Abstract: A system and method is provided for a web services-based data transfers. A data power component translates a service request in a first format received from a first computing device into a translated service request in a second format compatible with a web service. The translated service request includes converted freight data associated with a set of items structured for storage within one or more database(s) associated with a second computing device. The translated service request is a request to load the freight data onto the database(s). The translated service request is transmitted to the web service. In response, the data power component receives a response from the web service indicating whether the freight data is successfully loaded onto the database(s). The data power component translates the response from the second format into the first format. The translated response is returned to the first computing device.

Abstract: The system, products, and methods disclosed herein relate to an improved configuration for geographically dispersed data restart (“GDDR”) systems. Specifically, the teachings herein ensure a particular GDDR instance does not react to messages issued from address spaces outside of its affinity group. We use the term message “affinity group” to mean the combination of a particular GDDR instance and its set of Mainframe Enablers started tasks. By ensuring that the particular GDDR instance does not react to messages intended for recipients outside of its affinity group, we improve computer functionality and efficiency by facilitating further partitioning of the logical partition. Once the logical partition is further partitioned into additional address spaces, it is possible to run Mainframe Enablers and/or additional GDDR instances independent of the particular GDDR instance of concern.
