  • Patent number: 8719625
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program for processing invalid data. Data is received at a shared component for processing. A shared component is a component that is capable of being shared by multiple entities. The shared component has a plurality of threads. An attempt is made to process the data using one of the threads from the plurality of threads. The data is invalid and therefore the attempt at processing the invalid data results in the shared component and its plurality of threads failing. In response to the failure of the shared component, at least two instances of the shared component are created. At least one thread is assigned to each component instance, where the number of threads assigned to each component instance is restricted to a maximum number that is less than the original number of the plurality of threads.

  • Publication number: 20120216277
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide method, system and computer program product for user profile and usage pattern based user ID prediction. In accordance with an embodiment of the invention, a user can request a user ID to access a portion of a computing system. One or more characteristics of the user, such as a role or location can be determined and correlated to one or more different additional user ID options. In this regard, the additional user ID options can be a suggested alternative user ID for use by the user commensurate with the role or location of the user, or with past patterns of other users considered similar to the user based upon the characteristics of the user.
