  • Patent number: 11934358
    Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for determining available remote storages in a network to use to replicate a file based on a geographical requirement with respect the file. A determination is made as whether available remote storages satisfy constraints associated with a document class of the file. The constraints include a geographical location at which to replicate the file and a minimum number of replications to create for the file. At least one remote storage of the available remote storages is selected that satisfies the constraints to store at least one copy of the file. The file is replicated to the selected at least one remote storage.

  • Patent number: 11669676
    Abstract: Provided are techniques for comparing similar applications. A feature is identified from a linkage table, wherein the linkage table comprises a link to first information and a link to second information describing the feature, wherein the first information is for a first application and the second information is for a second application. There is redirection from a first web page to a second web page in a Graphical User Interface (GUI) with a first window in the second web page displaying the first information and a second window in the second web page displaying the second information.

  • Patent number: 11429651
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product is provided for optimizing a document change or provenance scoring system by weighting sections of a document, scoring the changes for each section, and then combining the change scores for each section to generate an overall change score. An associated report may also be generated that catalogs all of the various scoring elements. The weighted score is stored in a document management system and provides a human document reviewer a level of detail to evaluate document changes. Accordingly, the weighted score reveals whether a document's changes require a brief or detailed review before the document's changes are approved for a next document version.

  • Patent number: 11295070
    Abstract: A user annotation entered in association with a content document of a workflow process executed in association with a metadata context-driven processing system is detected. The user annotation entered in association with the content document is analyzed according to a process-level context associated with the content document within the workflow process. Process-level metadata of the workflow process is inferred based upon the analysis of the user annotation according to the process-level context. The inferred process-level metadata is stored as part of the process-level context of the workflow process.

  • Patent number: 10997197
    Abstract: A method, a system, and a computer program product are provided. In various embodiments, an object is stored within a first data storage system resource indicating a dependency on a second data storage system resource, wherein the dependency requires collocation of the first data storage system resource and the second data storage system resource. An action applied to any one of the first data storage system resource and the second data storage system resource may be controlled based on the dependency.

  • Patent number: 10936671
    Abstract: Provided are techniques for linked record declaration of related content items. A graph of nodes representing content items is generated with edges connecting the nodes and representing relationships between the content items. A content item represented by a node in the graph of nodes is selected. In response to selection of the content item, the edges of the graph of nodes are traversed starting from the selected content item to identify other content items. A record is declared in a records management system for the selected content item and the identified content items. A lifecycle policy is associated with the record. The lifecycle policy is applied to the selected content item and the identified content items when processing the record.

  • Publication number: 20190116109
    Abstract: Application-level connection pre-testing of an available connection type of a number of different available connection types is performed by an application executed by a processor programmed to use the different available connection types and a number of different available service interfaces. Application-accessible performance characteristics of the available connection type are measured by the application. A determination is made as to whether the measured application-accessible performance characteristics of the available connection type satisfy a threshold application-level connection performance criterion specified in accordance with a service-level data transmission formatting option utilized by one of the different available service interfaces.

  • Patent number: 10241882
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system for identifying a current amount of resources used by a computing device. A future amount of resources may be estimated for executing a trace for a subsystem of the computing device. One or more rules may be identified for executing the trace for the subsystem of the computing device, wherein the one or more rules may be based upon, at least in part, at least one of the current amount of resources used by the computing device and the future amount of resources for executing the trace for the subsystem of the computing device. It may be determined whether to execute the trace for the subsystem of the computing device based upon, at least in part, the one or more rules.
