  • Patent number: 10509632
    Abstract: A principal model is configured within a memory to facilitate automatic generation of at least one resource for use by a computer-executable application. At least one model item required for a task that is absent from the principal model is identified. The absent model item is instantiated in a decoration model that operates with the principal model to augment operational functionality of the principal model.

  • Patent number: 10169603
    Abstract: Aspects include detecting that an extract transform load (ETL) job in an ETL system has been submitted for execution. The ETL job can include an input data storage location and an output data storage location. The ETL job is analyzed to predict whether execution of the ETL job will result in sensitive information being made accessible to an unauthorized user. The analyzing can be based on a sensitivity status of contents of the input data storage location and a data lineage of contents of the output data storage location. The ETL job is prevented from executing based on predicting that execution of the ETL job will result in sensitive information being made accessible to an unauthorized user. Execution of the ETL job is initiated based on predicting that execution of the ETL job will not result in sensitive information being made accessible to an unauthorized user.

  • Patent number: 9971638
    Abstract: A computer system may generate a lineage graph for a data processing system. The lineage graph may contain one or more nodes, and it may identify the flow of data through the data processing system. The computer system may determine that a first node in the lineage graph defunct. The computer system may then generate a report for the data processing system and provide the report to a user. The report may include an explanation of why the first node is defunct. The computer system may insert an indication that the first node is defunct into metadata for the first node. The indication may also include the explanation of why the first node is defunct.

  • Publication number: 20170277731
    Abstract: As disclosed herein a method determining whether a tree graph operation is a cutting operation. The method further includes, responsive to determining that the tree graph operation is a cutting operation, determining a cutting zone for the cutting operation, and identifying a developed node in the cutting zone that is to be retained in the tree graph, wherein the developed node is a root node of a shared subtree. The method further includes, responsive to determining the tree graph operation is not a cutting operation, attaching each child of the developed node to a parent of the developed node, and responsive to determining the developed node is a shared subtree with one or more children, attaching a reference to each child of the developed node to a parent of remaining undeveloped nodes. A computer program product and a computer system corresponding to the above method are also disclosed herein.
