Abstract: A system includes a computing infrastructure including a plurality of computing nodes and at least one blockchain network including one or more of the computing nodes. The one or more computing nodes of the at least one blockchain network are configured to receive a service request to update a first software application, identify one or more configuration items associated with updating the first software application, determine a set of update activities to be performed to update the first software application, verify the set of update activities, identify at least one user that is to perform the set of update activities, identify whether a conflicting service activity is requested for each configuration item, validate access credentials of the at least one user, and generate at least one file that includes information relating to the update activities, at least one user, configuration items, potential conflicts and verified credentials.

Abstract: A plurality of data interactions are monitored and a plurality of potential exceptions relating to the data interactions are identified. Each potential exceptions is analyzed based on a respective pre-configured logic to determine a result relating to the potential exception. A plurality of data objects are generated, wherein each data object includes one or more of the potential exceptions, the results determined for the potential exceptions and other related data. The data objects are passed as nodes of a tangle associated with a tangle network. A federated machine learning (ML) model is deployed with each node passed to the tangle to determine whether the results are correct. A report is generated including a plurality of potential exceptions determined as valid.

Abstract: Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for dynamically permitting and restricting access to and modification of computer resources. The present invention may be configured to receive a change request identifying computer resources to be modified, determine whether privileged access is required to modify the computer resources, and receive credentials from a user device. The present invention may be further configured to generate an encrypted configuration file, determine whether the change request is valid, and further encrypt the encrypted configuration file based on determining that the change request is valid.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a memory and a hardware processor. The memory stores a plurality of conversion rules. The processor receives a first log from a server. The first log indicates that the server attempted to install a software patch. The processor converts, based on the plurality of conversion rules, the first log into a different format to produce a second log. The processor also determines, based on the second log, that the software patch install failed and determines a cause for the software patch install failure. The processor further determines a series of steps to remedy the cause and perform the series of steps to remedy the cause.

Abstract: A security patch tool includes a retrieval engine, a parser, and a reporting engine. The retrieval engine retrieves, from a first database, a log indicating a plurality of patches that have been applied and whether each patch of the plurality of patches was applied successfully. The parser determines, based on the log, a second plurality of patches of the plurality of patches that were not applied successfully and determines, based on the log, an error code for each patch of the second plurality of patches. The retrieval engine further retrieves, from a second database, a remedy for each error code for each patch of the second plurality of patches. The reporting engine generates a report indicating the plurality of patches, the error code for each patch of the second plurality of patches, and the remedy for each error code for each path of the second plurality of patches.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores a test plan, a plurality of performed steps, a configuration for a test environment in which the test was performed, and a result of the test. The processor compares the plurality of performed steps to the plurality of planned steps, compares the configuration for a first test environment and the configuration for the second test environment, and determines whether an action of the plurality of actions resulted in a failure. The processor presents a first chart, a second chart, and a third chart the results of the comparisons and determination. The processor deploys an application corresponding to the test plan if each step of the plurality of planned steps was performed during the test, if the second test environment was configured according to the configuration for the first test environment, and if the failure was fixed.
