  • Automatic parameter value generation
    Patent number: 10740477
    Abstract: Automatic parameter value generation is disclosed. It is determined that a parameter value generation trigger associated with a parameter has occurred. A parameter value in accordance with a format of the parameter value is obtained. At least one location associated with a first component to which the parameter value is to be communicated is determined. The parameter value is communicated to the at least one location, and a parameter value refresh policy associated with the first component is determined.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 18, 2019
    Date of Patent: August 11, 2020
    Assignee: Red Hat, Inc.

  • Rule management using a configuration database
    Patent number: 8122432
    Abstract: A method is presented that enables custom applications to embed rule authoring capabilities. In one embodiment, the method includes: imbedding a rule picker into an existing software application; presenting a choice of rules to be implemented in the existing software application, wherein a business vocabulary context defines and limits the choice of rules that is presented; and integrating a selected rule, from the choice of rules, into the existing software application. The business vocabulary context may be determined by a business vocabulary of the existing software application, wherein the business vocabulary is composed of software objects that describe a current session of the existing software application. The business vocabulary context may be defined as a name of a category that is passed to a rule creation engine by a rule picker in an Integrated Development Environment (IDE), such that a rule picker tag may be rendered in the IDE.
