  • Patent number: 8583610
    Abstract: Extending a plurality of manageability capabilities of manageable information technology (IT) resources utilize an “aspect of” association for describing a relationship between a first object representing a manageable resource playing a role of a subject and one or more additional objects each playing a role of an aspect. The “aspect of” association establishes an overall manageability function for the first object representing a manageable resource and the one or more additional objects as a logical composition of a plurality of manageability capabilities. The manageability capabilities are provided using distinct implementation classes for supporting a specific role, and for supporting management-discipline related aspects and behaviors needed by each of a plurality of resource management applications for managing the manageable resource. The one or more additional objects have an aspect life cycle that is bounded maximally by a subject lifecycle of the first manageable resource.

  • Patent number: 8533230
    Abstract: A system for managing topologies includes a topology data datastore that stores topology information. A topology computer element interfaces with the topology data datastore to create and update a topology of resources. A subscription computer element generates notifications to a user based on at least one of the creating and the updating of the topology of resources and further based on subscription data.

  • Patent number: 8407349
    Abstract: A computer-executable method for allocating resource discovery and identification processes among a plurality of management tools and resources in a distributed and heterogeneous IT management system includes providing at least one authoritative manageable resource having minimal or no responsibility for reporting its identity, minimal or no responsibility for advertising any lifecycle-related creation event for the resource, and minimal or no responsibility for advertising any lifecycle-related destruction event for the resource; using a service oriented architecture (SOA) to define one or more services needed to manage the resource within the management system; and using a component model to define one or more interfaces and one or more interactions to be implemented by the manageable resource within the management system.

  • Patent number: 8291479
    Abstract: Security is optimized in the context of a credential transformation service (CTS) by utilizing a web services client runtime to gather information for determining whether or not a target web service is hosted in a security domain used by a client application and for determining whether or not the target web service uses an authentication mechanism substantially identical to that used by the client application. The gathered information is carried in an endpoint reference (EPR) of the target web service. In response to the client receiving the EPR, the client applies an optimization process to eliminate a possible unnecessary invocation of the CTS, wherein the target web service is an authoritative manageable resource having minimal or no responsibility for providing its identity, and having minimal or no responsibility for advertising any creation and destruction lifecycle related events.

  • Publication number: 20120014822
    Abstract: A connector for connecting electrical power to a well pump motor has cable and motor connector portions that mate with each other in a connected position. The connector portions have insulating members, each of which has a number of passages and an end face. Electrical contact members are mounted in each of the passages. Contact members in the cable connector portion protrude past the end face of the insulating member. A debris seal insulates the electrical contact members in the cable connector and includes expansion slots so that when the material of the debris seal thermally expands, the expansion slots contract in response to the expansion without the debris seal impinging against either connector.

  • Patent number: 8032623
    Abstract: An exemplary embodiment of the invention relates to a method, system, and storage medium for providing context-based dynamic policy assignment in a distributed processing environment. The system includes a first resource management host in communication with a client system, an application executable by the first resource management host, a dynamic policy assignment system executing on the first resource management host, policies stored on the first resource management host and an application profile associated with the client system. The application profile is received by the first resource management host. Application hosting services include executing the application on behalf of the client system. The dynamic policy assignment system receives the request, and based upon a task name associated with the application profile, selects at least one policy for an application instance.
