Abstract: Concepts for acquiring information for identifying a security configuration for an application are proposed. In particular, the information is obtained by running the application in a development environment, detecting security requests made on behalf of the application, and then storing security information associated with the security requests in a security log. Using this concept, a security log may be obtained from which an appropriate security configuration may be determined.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for code coverage for test systems for testing source code. The method obtains a trace with trace records written at entry and exit to one or more test modules for function calls to the test modules. The method compares response codes for the functions extracted from the trace with a finite list of response codes retrieved from metadata for the source code for the functions and analyzes a code coverage based on the comparison.

Abstract: A single sign-on is implemented in an online transaction processing system. A security token extracted from a transaction request is received. The security token is validated and, in response to a positive validation, security information is extracted. The security information is processed to validate the transaction request and a set of validation attributes is generated. The set of validation attributes is stored in a read-only data object. A transaction server is notified of the read-only data object to authorize processing of the transaction request by the transaction server.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for identifying skills for product areas includes: receiving change data from a first computing device, the change data including at least change sets, check-in history, and product areas; analyzing the change data to determine dimensions of change, the dimensions of change including at least a size of change, an age of change, and a quantity of changes; calculating a program skill level for each program of one or more programs using the dimensions of the change, the software product having one or more product areas, each product area having one or more programs; calculating a product skill level for each product area of the one or more product areas using the calculated program skill levels for each program; and providing an output having a visual representation of the skill level for each product area.

Abstract: A received security token includes first access control attributes and a signature of a first identity provider of a first security domain. Additional access control attributes provided by a second identity provider of a second security domain are added into the received security token. The received security token with the added additional access control attributes is re-signed, with a private key associated with a certificate of a second service provider in the second security domain. The re-signing is an assertion in the second security domain that the added additional access control attributes have been provided by the second identity provider of the second security domain. The re-signed received security token is issued for consuming, using the added additional access control attributes, by any service provider in the second security domain.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for handling a unit of work in a transaction processing system, in which the system comprises one or more production regions operating minimal or no diagnostic functions and one or more diagnostic regions operating maximal or full diagnostic functions. A unit of work is received, which is routed to a production region. After receiving a notification that the work has failed, the work is routed to a diagnostic region.

Abstract: Attribute-based access control is performed across a first and a second security domain in a federated distributed processing environment. A security token received in the second security domain from a first service provider in the first security domain includes access control attributes. Access control information associated with a request to process an online transaction in the second security domain is received from an identity provider in the second security domain. The access control information is mapped into access control attributes compatible with a format of the access control attributes of the received security token. The mapped access control attributes are appended to the received security token to create a modified security token. The modified security token is signed with a certificate of a second service provider in the second security domain, and the modified security token is issued for consuming by any service provider in the second security domain.

Abstract: A transaction processing system is operated. A first resource is locked as a shared resource by a first task executing on a computing device. The first task attempts to lock a second resource as an exclusive resource. The occurrence of a deadlock is ascertained. A second task that wishes to use the locked first resource is identified. A current position of the first task with respect to the first resource is stored. The lock on the first resource is removed. The second task is prompted to use the first resource. The first task locks the first resource as the shared resource. The first task is repositioned with respect to first resource according to the stored position. The first task locks the second resource as the exclusive resource. The first task is performed.
