  • Supply capability engine weekly poller
    Patent number: 9195498
    Abstract: A method for executing and polling an operational slice of a supply capability engine. The method of polling is designed to query a DB2 table searching for a predetermined, eligible operational slice to process. When an operational slice is detected that is ready to be processed, an entry on a queue is placed, typically to a second DB2 table. The operational slices on the queue are then processed sequentially. The poller monitors the duration of the operational slice, and generates an alert if any of the operational slices placed on the queue exceed an allowable duration.
    Type: Grant

  • Web-based strategic client planning system for end-user creation of queries, reports and database updates
    Patent number: 7013312
    Abstract: A method and program storage device for creating tabular data stream flow for sending rows of secure data between a client workstation and a server computer over a network using a common object request broker architecture (CORBA). This method includes receiving a request to create a query form at the client workstation, receiving a worksheet grid form defining selected tabular data, and packaging the worksheet grid form representing an updated status of the data for the tabular data stream flow.
