Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for processing messages for retrieval from a message queuing system. The method may be carried out at a message sending component, and may include: receiving requests from multiple clients, where a request includes at least one required record; forming a union of requests, such that a common record of multiple requests is handled once; providing the common record with an associated reference count of requests requiring the record, and associated metadata listing the client requests in the record; sending a record response to a queuing system when processed including the reference count and the metadata listing the client requests; determining when all records in a request have been sent; and notifying a client that the request can be retrieved from the message queuing system, including a response list indicating to the client the identifier of the requested records retained at the message queuing system.

Abstract: Batch compression management of messages. A message being sent to a batch for transmission is intercepted. The message is assigned to a batch pool, in which multiple batch pools are provided as sub-sets of the batch. The assigning of the message to the batch pool is based on a similarity of properties of the message with other messages and determined by looking up the properties in a batch pool mapping database. The message is added to the batch pool or a new batch pool is created for the message. A batch pool of messages is compressed using a dictionary of the properties common to at least some of the messages in the batch pool. The compressed batch pools are transmitted over an input/output channel.

Abstract: Software is traced using Extensible Markup Language (XML) messages. A trace command, which includes one or more specified fields to be traced and a trace output file location, is defined. A determination is made as to whether the trace command is for a full trace or a differential trace, where the full trace traces all the one or more specified fields, and the differential trace traces specified fields only in response to the specified fields having a value that has changed during processing. The trace command is added to an XML input message for propagation through one or more products. Trace data is collected from the full trace or the differential trace for defined fields at each product, and then stored at the trace output file location.

Abstract: A messaging system comprises a plurality of connected components and including a schema defining fields for messages, at least one field defined as non-essential. A mechanism for operating the messaging system comprises the steps of collecting one or more performance metrics for one or more components of the messaging system, determining that at least one performance metric has crossed a predetermined threshold, informing one or more components of the messaging system that a surge in workload has occurred, and the informed components removing non-essential fields from transmitted messages and/or not processing non-essential fields from received messages.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of parsing a message comprising a sequence of data fields, the method comprising evaluating program code for processing the parsed message to identify a first set of data fields of the message that are referenced in said program code; identifying the boundaries of the data fields in a schema defining the format of said message; identifying a second set of data fields in said schema related to the first set of data fields by reference, said second set further including the first set; and sequentially parsing the message using the identified data field boundaries, wherein said parsing step comprises skipping data fields in said sequence that precede the first data field belonging to the second set. A computer program product comprising program code for implementing this method and a data processing system adapted to implement this method are also disclosed.

Abstract: A computer accesses a stack data and a source code of a program. The computer searches for a first change made to the program, wherein the first change is one of a change to a method of the program, a change to a class of the program, a change to a method that is invoked by the program, or a change to a class containing a method that is invoked by the program. The computer identifies the first change that was made to the program and determines the probability that the identified first change caused one or both of an error and a regression. The computer generates a ranked list of identified changes based, at least in part, on the probability that the identified first change caused one or both of an error and a regression.

Abstract: Event processing is prioritized based on system workload. A time constraint attribute is defined in an event rule. The event rule uses one or more events. An event processing system is monitored to determine when the system is under a predefined level of stress. If the system is determined to be under the predefined level of stress, the time constraint attribute in the event rule is used to establish when the processing of a received event used in an event rule must be carried out.

Abstract: A computer captures a thread state data of a first program. The computer generates a second program by applying a first program patch to the first program. The computer inserts additional code into a source code of the second program. The computer executes a first performance test using the second program and the inserted additional code. The computer monitors a first status of the second program and the inserted additional code that are under the first performance test. The computer determines a degree that a first deadlock state was prevented during the first performance test. The computer generates a first message based, at least in part, on the determined degree that the first deadlock state was prevented during the first performance test.

Abstract: A method, system, and/or computer program product handles a query generated by a user of one of multiple local network devices that are coupled to a network. Multiple system queries are autonomously issued, by a computer that is coupled to the network, requesting states of the local network devices. Query statements, responsive to the system queries and being sent to a wide area network search engine, are intercepted. A natural language query, which is a logical query that is answered by one of the multiple query statements, is generated from one of the multiple query statements. An unstructured query, from a user, about a state of a particular device is received. The unstructured query from the user is compared with the natural language query in order to determine if a match between the query from the user with the natural language query exceeds a predetermined threshold value.
