Abstract: Provided is a method, system and program for storing data for later retrieval and for transfer within a storage hierarchy. A data storage subsystem stores both individual user files and also managed files, each managed file comprising an aggregation of multiple user files. After receiving user files from a client station, the subsystem stores user files in a retrieval storage pool to facilitate file retrieval. Criteria are subsequently applied to the user files stored in the retrieval storage pool to delete low or lower priority files from the retrieval storage pool. In addition, user files are aggregated in managed files for transfer to another location within the storage hierarchy.

Abstract: Systems and methods consistent with the invention may include receiving a navigation query including input text, determining, via a processor, whether the input text is satisfies a predetermined criteria, generating a response including data representing a screen associated with the input text when the input text satisfies the predetermined criteria, selecting a language preference when the input text fails to satisfy the predetermined criteria, performing a fuzzy search based on the input text, the language preference, and usage history, and generating a response to the navigation query based on a result of the fuzzy search.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for crawling and indexing documents stored in a data storage system. A crawler system processes multiple jobs that each correspond to crawling documents in the data storage system. Each job includes priority data and crawling instructions. The crawler system stores each job in a priority queue in a sequence based on the priority data. The crawler system assigns each job in the priority queue to a next available processing module for processing based on the stored sequence. Before processing each job, the crawler system determines whether to segment the job into smaller steps based on the corresponding crawling instructions. If the job is segmented, one of smaller steps is processed to crawl a group of the documents in the data storage system. The remaining steps are stored in the priority queue to wait for processing.

Abstract: Optimized query plans are partitioned into equivalence groups that each include equivalence classes. Each equivalence group corresponds to a particular compiled, normalized, and parameterized query plan prior to optimization. Each equivalence class within an equivalence group corresponds to a different query plan corresponding to the particular compiled, normalized, and parameterized query plan represented by the equivalence group that has been optimized with respect to the selectivity of one or more predicate clauses of the query that is compiled to produce the particular compiled, normalized, and parameterized query plan. Optimized query plans are cached according to their respective equivalence groups and equivalence classes.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to systems, methods, and computer program products for identifying devices used in connection with email and website spoofing. For example, the invention can be used to identify the device that was used to copy an image from a target website, where, after being copied, the image is used as part of a spoofed email or website. In an embodiment, a timer is embedded in an image residing on a web server that hosts a target website. The embedded timer is configured to record the time at which the image is removed from the web server and store that time in the image for later retrieval. Also, the time at which the image was removed, along with a device forensic of the device used to download the image, is stored in a database. If the image later appears as part of a spoofed email or website, the time at which the image was removed from the web server is obtained from the timer embedded in the image.

Abstract: Certain implementations provide systems, computer program products, computing devices, and methods to analyze how a preexisting database will be affected during a solution transition event (e.g., upgrading a database to a new version). Analysis can be conducted before the solution transition event has occurred. Analysis can yield a report detailing how upgrading will affect the data and data structures contained within a preexisting database system. The database system being analyzed can be part of a broader system upon which the solution transition event is performed. Analyzing how the solution transition event will affect a database system can be performed in preparation for performing the solution transition event on the broader system.

Abstract: An information management system creates data structures based entirely on the content of source files, then compares these data structures to discover synergies and commonalities. In one embodiment, the system accepts a first collection of source files, and extracts text from each source file. The text is compared to tags in one or more dictionaries, which comprise hierarchical listing of tags. Tags matching the text are associated with each source file. The system then generates a virtual relational network in which each source file having matching tags is a node. Tags associated with two or more source files are links between the nodes. This virtual relational network may be compared with another virtual relational network to discover common nodes or links. Source files later added to a collection are massively linked by associating all tags from all source files with the newly added source file, and vice versa.
