  • Patent number: 11860729
    Abstract: Techniques for predictive system remediation are disclosed. Based on attributes associated with applications of one or more system-selected remedial actions to one or more problematic system behaviors in a system (e.g., a database system), the system determines a predicted effectiveness of one or more future applications of a remedial action to a particular problematic system behavior, as of one or more future times. The system determines that the predicted effectiveness of the one or more future applications of the remedial action is positive but does not satisfy a performance criterion. Responsive to determining that the predicted effectiveness is positive but does not satisfy the performance criterion, the system generates a notification corresponding to the predicted effectiveness not satisfying the performance criterion.

  • Patent number: 11654356
    Abstract: Methods, computer-readable media, and computing devices are described herein for restoring gameplay by replaying past inputs. During gameplay, capture logic captures participant inputs that were received to change states of game objects. The capture logic stores the captured information in an electronic record of period(s) of the gameplay. After the period(s) of gameplay, replay logic receives a request to initiate subsequent gameplay beginning from a point in time from a period of past gameplay. The replay logic causes the subsequent gameplay to begin from the point at least in part by loading saved state information and replaying the captured participant inputs.

  • Patent number: 10938770
    Abstract: A computer implemented method for tracking bulk email can include configuring, by a bulk email client, a bulk email, wherein the bulk email includes an initial email and identifies a plurality of recipients. The method can further include iteratively executing by the bulk email client after the configuring, a sub-method until either a marked email corresponding to the bulk email is prepared for each recipient in the plurality of recipients or a request to cease continuation of processing the bulk email is generated in response to user input at the bulk email client. The bulk email client displays a graphical user interface that shows a selectable interruption element that, if selected, terminates or pauses prior to completion of a current or next iteration.

  • Publication number: 20210036944
    Abstract: Techniques for ranking service implementations for a service interface are disclosed. Each module that includes a service implementation may be referred to as a “service provider module.” The ranking of the service implementations, for the particular service interface, may be based on modular information. Modular information includes information associated with module dependencies and/or service dependencies corresponding to one or more of a candidate set of service provider modules. Additionally or alternatively, the ranking of the service implementations, for the particular service interface, may be based on statically-available information and/or dynamically-available information associated with one or more of a candidate set of service implementations.

  • Patent number: 10521245
    Abstract: Techniques for recursively generating a plug-in application recipe (PIAR) are disclosed. A PIAR management application manages a particular PIAR in an active state. The PIAR management application manages PIAR specifications, each identifying a trigger and an action. The action is conditional on the trigger. The particular PIAR includes a particular trigger and a particular action. The particular action includes a child PIAR specification that defines, for a child PIAR, a second trigger and a second action to be executed when the second trigger is satisfied. In response to detecting that the particular trigger is satisfied, the PIAR management application creates the child PIAR. The PIAR management application monitors the second trigger concurrently with the particular trigger, which the PIAR management application did not do before creating the child PIAR.
