  • Patent number: 11645239
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for intelligent file conversion is provided. The method receives a first workflow in a first tool format. The first workflow contains a set of first elements associated with a set of tasks. The set of first elements in the first tool format are mapped to a set of second elements in a second tool format. The method generates a second workflow in the second tool format based on the set of second elements. The second workflow is validated based on a file definition schema for the second tool format and the second workflow is routed to an execution server.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11558387
    Abstract: Examples of techniques for validation of approver identifiers in a cloud computing environment are described herein. An aspect includes receiving, by a processor, a template that defines a plurality of actions to be performed by the processor. Another aspect includes determining for a first action of the plurality of actions whether the template specifies a first user identifier under which to run the first action. Another aspect includes, based on determining that the template specifies the first user identifier, determining whether the template specifies a second user identifier to approve running of the first action under the first user identifier. Another aspect includes, based on determining that the template specifies the second user identifier to approve running of the first action under the first user identifier, validating whether the second user identifier has permission to approve the running of the first action under the first user identifier.

  • Patent number: 6345280
    Abstract: Managing a log stream of a computer system. An entry of a log stream, desired to be removed from the log stream, but not eligible for removal, is logically deleted. Logical deletion keeps the entry on the log stream and indicates that the entry can be removed from the log stream when it is eligible. When the entry is eligible, it is removed. If a desired entry remains at the tail of the log stream for a given period of time, thus not all owing the removal of one or more undesired entries, the desired entry is rewritten to the head of the log stream and deleted from the tail. Thereafter, other logically deleted entries eligible for deletion are removed from the log stream.
