Abstract: Embodiments herein disclose an interface engine architecture. The interface engine architecture includes Java services and any combination thereof an adapter and/or a gateway, in embodiments. The interface engine architecture may be configured through a cloud-based application programming interface that provide a user-interactive graphical user interface, using templates for interface templates. The interface templates may be automatically populated with programming blocks that reflect protocol(s) of one or more message sources and/or one or more message destination(s). Once populated, messages received from one or more sources may be transformed using the programming blocks in the template and communicated to one or more destinations.

Abstract: A method and associated systems for identifying hardcoded network addresses. A network-migration tool requests from a network certain types of data that may identify IP addresses used by the network and receives a subset of the requested data. The system infers from the manner in which received data characterizes IP addresses which of those addresses are likely to be hardcoded. If the system receives a list of server affinities, it infers that an IP address used for communication between servers in a same affinity group is hardcoded if that address is not listed by an associated DNS server. If a received ARP cache lists an IP address as having been resolved to a MAC address, the system infers that the IP address cannot be hardcoded. If a received TCP trace log lists an address without a corresponding hostname the system infers that the address is hardcoded.

Abstract: Techniques disclosed herein describe methods for achieving resource affinity and scalability in dynamic environments by calculating the modulus of a numeric request identifier against a fixed selection of numbers. Using the proposed techniques yields a numeric request identifier and resource identifier combination that ensures a given resource possesses the unique state applicable to that user's request. Using a fixed selection of numbers thus maintains resource affinity while achieving scalability as resources are added to or subtracted from a pool of resources.
