Abstract: Live documentation mapping is described which includes tracking executed actions in the software program by an end user, tracking the end user's interaction with technical documentation, and tracking the end users other communication about a product. The tracked information is mapped to a virtual living/updating technical documentation of the software program. The tracked executed actions and updated technical documentation are then aggregated for a total install base of users for a software program and used to generate system reports for the software program including directives on how the system should react from a development and/or business direction.

Abstract: An analysis system receives data streams generated by instances of instrumented software executing on external systems. The analysis system evaluates an expression using data values of the data streams over a plurality of time intervals. For example, the analysis system may aggregate data values of data streams for each time interval. The analysis system determines whether or not a data stream is considered for a time interval based on when the data value arrives during the time interval. The analysis system determines a maximum expected delay value for each data stream being processed. The analysis system evaluates the expression using data values that arrive before their maximum expected delay values. The analysis system also determines a failure threshold value for a data stream. If a data value of a data stream fails to arrive before the failure threshold value, the analysis system marks the data stream as dead.

The program further enriches a definition of the application object with metadata associated with the second runtime environment. The program also executes the application object in the first runtime environment.

Abstract: For an application specifying a software portion for implementation within a data processing engine (DPE) array of a device and a hardware portion having High-Level Synthesis (HLS) kernels for implementation within programmable logic (PL) of the device, a first interface solution is generated that maps logical resources used by the software portion to hardware resources of an interface block coupling the DPE array and the PL. A connection graph specifying connectivity among the HLS kernels and nodes of the software portion to be implemented in the DPE array; and, a block diagram based on the connection graph and the HLS kernels are generated. The block diagram is synthesizable. An implementation flow is performed on the block diagram based on the first interface solution. The software portion of the application is compiled for implementation in one or more DPEs of the DPE array.

Abstract: An updater platform may create a listening delegator process, associated with a listener file descriptor, within a deployment (without implementing an accept protocol). The platform may execute an original instance of an application process within the deployment and intercept a socket creation call from the original instance of the application process and replace it with the listener file descriptor. As a result, incoming connection requests are received by the listening delegator process and forwarded to the original instance of the application process. The platform may then determine that a configuration update is to be made to the application process and start an additional instance of the application process, with the updated configuration, within the deployment, such that incoming connection requests are received by the listening delegator process and forwarded to the additional instance of the application process. The platform may then switch off the original instance of the application process.

Abstract: Some embodiments describe improvements to an interface for designing robotic process automation (RPA) software. In response to receiving user input that selects a target UI element for an RPA activity (e.g., mouse click, text input), some embodiments automatically identify a label element co-displayed with the respective target element. An activity configuration interface displays an activity name and/or description using the label element as a descriptor and/or substitute for the target element, making the interface more intuitive and accessible to developers without a programming background.
