Abstract: A computing system may include a proxy server application and a database. The proxy server application may provide, to a computing device disposed within a managed network, instructions to identify one or more processes executing on the computing device. The proxy server application may also determine, for a process of the one or more processes, a file system path of a directory associated with the process and, based thereon, select one or more directories to scan for files associated with the process. The computing device may be provided with instructions to (i) scan the one or more directories and (ii) determine a plurality of attributes associated with one or more files discovered therein. The proxy server application may additionally receive results of the scan containing a representation of the plurality of attributes and store, in the database, the results of the scan.

Abstract: An embodiment includes executing a discovery pattern for the certificate authority, where the discovery pattern contains instructions for obtaining one or more digital certificates from the certificate authority; obtaining, from the certificate authority, a representation of a digital certificate acquired by a managed network from the certificate authority; storing, in a first set of mappings, a first new mapping between the certificate authority and the digital certificate; receiving, from a computing device disposed with the managed network, an indication that the digital certificate is installed on the computing device;, storing, in a second set of mappings, a second new mapping between the digital certificate and the computing device; determining that the digital certificate is expired; and storing, in a third set of mappings, a third new mapping between the digital certificate and a critical status indicator.

Abstract: A computing system may include one or more server devices within a computational instance that remotely manages computing devices of a managed network. The computing devices may include routers that are interconnected by subnets of the managed network, and the managed network may also include a proxy server device communicatively coupled to at least one of the subnets. The server devices may be configured to: (i) provide a proxy server configuration pane of a graphical user interface (GUI) that allows specification of the proxy server device; (ii) provide a router credentials configuration pane of the GUI that allows specification of router access credentials for the routers; (iii) provide a subnet discovery scheduling pane of the GUI that allows specification of a subnet schedule for carrying out discovery of the subnets; and (iv) cause the proxy server device to perform discovery of the subnets according to the subnet schedule.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with an artifact type neutral container are described. This artifact type neutral container is achieved through an artifact type neutral architecture that is managed using a central type neutral registration mechanism. Queries are executed on type neutral registration tables to return data stores that store the artifacts found within a given artifact type neutral container. The data stores are queried to return the artifacts in the artifact type neutral container. The artifact type neutral container can be used in systems in which the artifact type neutral container and artifact data are stored in the same database as well as in systems in which the artifact type neutral container and artifact data are stored in different databases.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with artifact type neutral change management are described. One example method includes maintaining an access table for each artifact in a collaborative software environment that records a most recent access of an artifact on a per user basis. An artifact type registration table is also maintained that maps each artifact type to the access table that records access information for artifacts of the given type and to a data store that stores artifacts of that type. For a given user, artifact pair, queries on the type registration table, access table, and data store are generated to return the last modification time for the artifact and the user's last access time for the artifact. This information is used to determine a change status of the artifact for the given user. This common framework can be used for artifacts of any type that are registered in the type registration table.

Abstract: A mechanism of specification of business process templates, to capture commonly performed business activities/workflows/projects within a business organization and encourage reuse of best practices. Long transaction workspaces based business process template execution mechanism are presented, which have several advantages over existing business process execution mechanisms in web collaboration frameworks. This execution approach provides support for an isolated environment for business process execution. This isolates the changes made on different resources while executing a business process from the external world until the business process completes. It enables the ability to concurrently manipulate same resources in different components of a business process, and later resolve conflicts if any and merge the different views of the same resource manipulated by different components of a business process.
