Abstract: A system and method to evade the power on self test during an operating system initiated reboot is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for optimizing reboot process of a computer includes determining a status of a power on self test (POST) performed during a prior booting of the computer when an operating system (OS) initiated rebooting of the computer is triggered, loading information obtained during the POST of the prior booting of the computer into a basic input output system (BIOS) of the computer if the status of the POST performed during the prior booting of the computer indicates a success of the POST, and performing the rebooting of the computer using the information, wherein a subsequent POST associated with the rebooting of the computer is skipped during the rebooting of the computer.

Abstract: A flexible architecture component for providing data integration and exchange between a plurality of client applications is disclosed. The client applications are coupled to a network and access respective data sources, wherein the data sources of each of the client applications may be stored in different formats and are not directly accessible by the other client applications. Aspects of the present invention include providing an adapter API that provides a first set of methods for the client applications to use to translate data into XML. Each of the client applications is then modified to invoke the methods in the adapter API to convert data in their respective data sources into XML format and to have the XML formatted data imported into a database on a server, thereby standardizing the data from the data sources.

Abstract: When a user-mode inpage error occurs after the system has booted up, the inpage error handling method attempts to prevent future crashes by repairing the faulting file. The fault may be a corrupt file or may be a disk I/O problem.

Abstract: A method and system for dynamically generating database queries is disclosed. The method and system include storing web interface data, including query attributes for a database, in one more tables. The attributes are then retrieved from the tables and displayed in a graphical user interface web page for user selection. Based on the attributes selected by the user, a SQL query is dynamically generated. The method and system further include displaying results of the SQL query to the user in graphical format, thereby enabling dynamic generation of custom queries.
