  • Patent number: 11113243
    Abstract: A computer-based method includes receiving, at a compute device, a collected set of system measurement facility (SMF) data from a mainframe operating system. The method includes, retrieving from a memory operatively coupled to the compute device, a set of SMF field-type identifiers. Each SMF field-type identifier having a one-to-one logical relation with a conditional value from a set of conditional values. The method includes selecting SMF field values from the collected set of SMF data, based on the set of conditional values. The SMF field values is a subset of SMF field values included in the collected set of SMF data. The method further includes executing a flattening process to produce a flattened record that includes at least one flattened SMF field value converted into a target format, and inserting the flattened record into a data repository compatible with the target format.

  • Publication number: 20200274551
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for loop escape analysis in executing computer instructions. In one embodiment, a method comprises instructions performed by at least one computer process. The method comprises receiving a set of executable computer instructions stored on a storage medium (e.g., by reading the instructions from a tangible, non-transitory storage medium). The method further comprises analyzing the computer instructions to determine a loop, analyzing the computer instructions to determine at least one new variable in the loop, and storing, in a data structure, at least one of an operation related to the variable or a value related to the variable. The method further comprises determining whether to compress the data structure upon reaching the end of the loop, and, based on the determination, compressing the data structure. Systems and computer-readable media are also provided.

  • Patent number: 10523730
    Abstract: The RTP Media Conference Server Routing Engine (“MCSRE”) integrates into a standards based RTP Media Server to improve server data throughput of RTP conference routing by factors of tens to hundreds while simultaneously decreasing real-time media delivery delays and significantly decreasing server resource requirements. The RTP MCSRE maintains a conference routing database used to manage a large number of conferences with a list of associated RTP sessions and conference participants. The routing engine also includes a Conference Session Routing Filter (“CSRF”) and a Routing Logic Processor (“RLP”) that selectively route received media streams to each participant in a given RTP conference. The behavior of both the CSRF and the RLP can be modified by executable scripts. The RTP MCSRE imposes floor control rules and packet filtering with regard to both network bandwidth and hardware resources specific to conference participant endpoint devices.

  • Patent number: 10409711
    Abstract: A method and system of determining whether a specification is an accurate representation of an application program interface (API) is provided. The specification is received electronically over a network. Service calls to be tested are identified based on the specification. A test case is created for each of the identified service calls. A sequence is created for the test cases. A test plan is generated based on the created sequence. The generated test plan is executed. Upon identifying an error in response to the executed test plan, a notification is generated, indicating that the specification is not an accurate representation of the API.
