Patent number: 10877938Abstract: An approach is provided for synchronizing elements in files across a technical environment. In one embodiment, a processor obtains a first change to a first file. The processor also obtains data identifying a second file. The processor determines if the change is supported by a data library in a pre-defined list of data sources. The processor analyzes the data library to determine a type of the change. The processor applies the type of the change to the second file.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2017Date of Patent: December 29, 2020Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Danny Y.

Patent number: 9767210Abstract: An approach is provided for dynamically enhancing and visually synchronizing elements in a display on a computing device. The approach includes using a processor to obtain a change to a first file and data identifying a second file one or more characteristics from a source file. The processor determines if the change is supported by a data library and analyzes the data library to determine the type of change. The processor then applies the type of change to the second file and generates a display associated with the second file on the computing device that includes the type of change applied to the second file.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2013Date of Patent: September 19, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Danny Y.

Patent number: 9575814Abstract: In a method for processing work items that have not been completed by a first escalation, a computer determines that the first escalation failed to complete execution, processed fewer work items than the first escalation is configured to process, or completed execution beyond an allotted processing time. The computer duplicates the first escalation to form a second escalation. In addition, the computer configures the second escalation to process the work items that have not been completed by the first escalation. Furthermore, the computer disables the first escalation and activates the second escalation to process the work items that have not been completed by the first escalation.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2015Date of Patent: February 21, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Danny Y.

Patent number: 9535946Abstract: A system, a method, and a computer readable media for identifying a user-initiated log file record in a log file are provided. The log file has a user-initiated log file record and a repeating pattern of log file records automatically generated by a software program. The system allows a user to identify first and second timestamp values corresponding to first and second times which identify a time interval of interest in the log file. The system further analyzes the log file to identify the user-initiated log file record having a timestamp value between the first and second timestamp values. The system further identifies the repeating pattern of log file records in the log file.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2015Date of Patent: January 3, 2017Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Danny Yen-Fu Chen, David A.

Patent number: 9355009Abstract: In a method for improving escalation performance, a computer monitors performance of an escalation in a production environment. The computer identifies a characteristic of the escalation based on the monitored performance. The computer creates a recommendation for improving escalation performance based on the characteristic. In response to an approval of the recommendation, the computer applies the recommendation to the escalation to form one or more recommended escalations. Furthermore, the computer deploys the one or more recommended escalations into the production environment.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2011Date of Patent: May 31, 2016Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Danny Y.

Patent number: 9218370Abstract: A method and system for processing a data load. A request is received for a data load to load data into a database in accordance with a data template that includes data to be loaded into the database. The template includes columns and rows. The request specifies a request type characterized by at least one column that collectively includes unique data for each row. The columns include N sets of columns (N?1) in addition to the at least one column. The data load is split into multiple loads of data. The multiple loads include one load and N additional loads. The one load is associated with the at least one column. The N additional loads are respectively associated with the N sets of columns and are configured to generate or modify one or more rows in each table of N respective additional tables in the database.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2013Date of Patent: December 22, 2015Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Danny Yen-Fu Chen, Craig A.

Patent number: 9177301Abstract: A method and system for notifying users of events. Scheduled user activity of a user is monitored, based on user notification information in a storage location. The user notification information pertains to a scheduled event. In response to a detection, from the monitoring, of a change in the user activity, it is ascertained that the change necessitates notifying the user of the scheduled event due to the change impacting whether the user can participate in the scheduled event. The change in the scheduled user activity is independent of the scheduled event. Then the user is notified of the scheduled event. The user notification information in the storage location is modified, based on the detected change in the user activity, in response to receipt of an instruction from the user to change the user notification information in the storage location.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2014Date of Patent: November 3, 2015Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Candice B.

Patent number: 9077704Abstract: An authentication configurator may define a LDAP security group for LDAP authentication, wherein the LDAP security group is associated with rights. It may define a native security group for native authentication users, wherein the native authentication group has at least one right not present in the LDAP security group, and define customer-specified LDAP chains. It may configure an LDAP authentication web application and a native authentication web application, wherein the LDAP authentication web application and the native authentication web application each connect to a service management database, and the LDAP authentication web application uses the customer-specified LDAP chains. A first Uniform Resource Locator (URL) for LDAP authentication to access the LDAP authentication web application and a second URL for native authentication to access the native authentication web application may also be configured.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2013Date of Patent: July 7, 2015Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Matt R.
