Abstract: A system for an index search engine includes a first non-volatile memory having a set of partitions. One partition includes one search array file having one or more search array records. The system also includes a second non-volatile memory having an index structure. The index structure includes a four-memory level configuration. Each memory level has a specified memory length. An entry in each memory level of first three levels contains a value pointing to a starting address of immediate next memory level. An entry in the fourth memory level contains a data value including an indexed field value of one of the search array records.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for processing database requests on a database hosted on a stateless, non-persistent computing environment are provided. A server stores database requests to insert update or delete data in a unit of work set identified by a unique code. The database requests are performed on the database upon receiving an instruction to commit the database requests to the database. If an instruction is sent to rollback a unit of work set the database remains unchanged. This allows a client to handle requests in logical groups.

Abstract: Disclosed is a caching system for processing web-based service requests. The caching system includes one or more pluralities of servers coupled to one or more online common storage. Each one of the plurality of servers processes caching service requests from one or more clients coupled to the plurality of servers. Each one of the plurality of servers is capable of operating in an active/single mode, and active/active mode, or an active/standby mode. A timestamp exchange process is used to update or eliminate outdated database records.

Abstract: A system and method for producing a new globally-unique identifier (GUID) format that may be used, for instance, to uniquely identify a number of different items in a distributed computer system, such as transactions in an e-commerce system, sessions in a cloud-based computing system, and identifiers for unique customers in an ecommerce system, among others. The unique ID may have one of a number of different formats that may be generated upon receiving a request for an ID. For instance, the GUID may be generated in a plain hex format, a GUID format, ESS, and B64B (Base64Binaty) format. The new format may be generated based on information relating to a site ID, an absolute time, and a sequential counter, that ensures that no two GUIDs are the same. Further, the system may be capable of issuing multiple GUIDs within a single command, such as may be required to generate an array of GUIDs.

Abstract: A system for providing a cloud-based data session can be implemented to allow access to session data for client applications across multiple platforms and environments. In embodiments, a system for provisioning data sessions includes a session provision service, cache provision service, unique identifier provision service, and a data store. The unique identifier provision service is programmed to create a unique identifier that is guaranteed to be globally unique across multiple systems so that each unique identifier is unique assigned to only one data session.

Abstract: According to one aspect, embodiments of the invention provide a sequence engine comprising a local queue configured to receive captured data in a first sequence, the captured data including a plurality of individual messages, each message including sequence information representative of a chronological order in which the messages was captured, a coupling facility in communication with the local queue, the coupling facility comprising a plurality of data tables wherein a first one of the plurality of data tables is configured to store the captured data in the first sequence, and a dispatcher in communication with the plurality of data tables and configured to resequence, based on the sequence information, the captured data into a second sequence, wherein the second sequence corresponds to the chronological order in which the plurality of individual messages were captured, and to forward the captured data to a destination database in the second sequence.

Abstract: A system is provided that is adapted to service web-based service requests. In one implementation, a caching service is provided for storing and servicing web service requests. In one implementation, virtual computer systems may be used to service requests in a more reliable manner. Different operating modes may be configured for backup redundancy and the caching service may be scaled to meet service requests for a particular application. Also, methods are provided for exchanging timestamp information among web service transaction systems to reduce the amount of processing capability and bandwidth for ensuring database consistency.
