Abstract: Disclosed herein is a computer implemented method of operating a computing environment to perform a live migration of a running process from a current computing node to an alternative computing node. The current computing node is configured for executing an application binary using a sandboxed runtime environment that comprises an application binary interface. The alternative computing node is configured for executing the application binary using the sandboxed runtime environment that comprises the application binary interface. The application binary interface has a node hardware independent instruction set. The method comprises: monitoring the running process on the current computing node to see if it meets a predetermined transfer criterion; adding the running process to a workload queue if the predetermined transfer criterion is detected; and migrating the running process from the current computing node to the alternative computing node.

Abstract: A method for operating a first computer system is provided. The method includes: building a database comprising entries, each entry indicating a failure in one or more second computer systems and an action pattern to remedy the failure, the action pattern indicating log files to be accessed to remedy the failure. In response to detecting a failure in the first computer system, one or more entries of the database that match the detected failure may be identified. The one or more action patterns associated with the identified one or more entries may be used for extracting debugging data representing the detected failure. At least part of the debugging data may be sent to an external system. In response to the sending, instructions to remedy the detected failure may be received from the external system.

Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for dispatching requests to service instances based on data storage boundaries. A request specifying an identity is received and dispatched to a service instance of a data storage boundary, where each data storage boundary is defined by a regulation or policy restricting data storage of specific types of data to computing devices within a specified boundary. A feedback response, specifying a target location, is received from the service instance in response to determining that the service instance cannot access the data because the data is associated with a different data storage boundary. A dynamic dispatch rule specifying the identity and the target location is generated and a subsequent request specifying the identity is processed by executing this dynamic dispatch rule to dispatch the subsequent request directly to a service instance associated with the target location.

Abstract: A computer processor may extract identity information from a document. The identity information may include at least one custodian identity attribute. After extracting the identity information, the computer processor may determine that the identity information is associated with a specific custodian. The computer processor may then search for the custodian identity attribute in a custodian directory to determine whether the custodian directory contains an entry for the custodian. If the custodian is not in the custodian directory, the computer processor may create a new entry in the custodian directory for the custodian and store the extracted identity information in the new entry.
