  • Patent number: 9749441
    Abstract: According to one general aspect, a method for managing a plurality of different tenants on a shared computing infrastructure including at least one application server apparatus may include associating a tenant with a plurality of services, wherein each service provides a set of actions that the service is configured to perform. In some embodiments, the method may include associating at least one tenant runlevel for each associated service with the tenant. In various embodiments, the method may include, when the application server apparatus executes a service for the tenant, determining the tenant runlevel associated with the tenant, and managing the set of actions configured to be performed by the service based at least in part upon the tenant runlevel associated with the tenant and the service.

  • Publication number: 20150120809
    Abstract: A kernel provides a mechanism allowing various applications (e.g. CRM, logistics, procurement, etc.) hosted on a plurality of different application servers, to share access to a common underlying system (e.g. database). An automated process for implementing a kernel change (e.g. for upgrade or replacement) may employ a “Stop-the-World” approach involving suspension of application server instances, coordinated by the start service of the last application server whose kernel is to be changed. As used herein, suspending refers to halting any processing prior to calling a central service (CS) as long as a CS instance is unavailable, and then to resuming processing once the CS instance becomes available. This suspension of relevant clients avoids errors from arising during the downtime of the CS instance. Once the application server instances are in a stopped state, the CS instance is restarted. Then, the application server instances are resumed, and their kernels are changed.

  • Publication number: 20120158945
    Abstract: One or more dynamic logon group parameters can be retrieved. The dynamic logon group parameters can be associated with an originator of requests for server processing by a computing system that includes a plurality of server instances, can be established prior to runtime, and can include an abstract definition of server instance characteristics required or preferred for handling the requests from the originator without designating specific server instances for handling the requests from the originator. One or more server instances can be selected from the plurality of server instances such that the one or more selected server instances satisfy the abstract definition of server instance characteristics. At runtime, the one or more selected server instances can be assigned to respond to the requests from the originator. Related articles of manufacture, systems, and methods are described.

  • Patent number: 6915201
    Abstract: A method and a device for controlling a vehicle in which the vehicle's speed is only regulated, i.e., limited, if descent is detected. Descent detection is carried out based on the vehicle's actual acceleration and a calculated model acceleration of the vehicle, descent being detected if the rate of change of the actual acceleration and the difference between the actual acceleration and model acceleration are positive.
