Patent number: 10908897Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for distributing services to client systems to develop in a shared development environment. A first service is deployed to the first client system to develop the first service. A second service is deployed to the second client system to develop the second service. A call is received from the first service, executing in the first client system as part of development of the first service, to the second service. A determination is made as to whether the second service is deployed at the second client system and available in response to the call from the first service. A response is generated to the call to the second service from a component in the shared development environment in response to determining that the second service is deployed at the second client system and not available.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2018Date of Patent: February 2, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Gregory R. Hintermeister, John W. Alcorn, Eric N. Herness, David Currie

Patent number: 8589444Abstract: Receiving from each of a plurality of low level monitor models an outbound event comprising information associated with a respective data source. The information received in each of the outbound events can be collected to a global monitoring context in which the information is automatically aggregated. Via a global cube associated with the global monitoring context, the information can be presented in a report. At least one new outbound event can be received. The new outbound event can include updated information associated with at least one of the data sources. Responsive to receiving the new outbound event, the information presented the report can be updated in real time to reflect the updated information.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2012Date of Patent: November 19, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: John W. Alcorn, Francisco P. Curbera, Paul T. Keyser, Geetika T. Lakskhmanan, Aleksander Slominski

Publication number: 20120029977Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for monitoring a process of a data processing system. With these mechanisms, a notification of an event comprising information regarding the event, and a process running in the data processing system that generated the event, is generated. It is determined whether one or more key performance indicators (KPIs) have been defined for an element corresponding to the process, in a model of the data processing system. In response to one or more KPIs not having been defined for an element in the model corresponding to the process, new KPI definitions are generated for the element in the model corresponding to the process based on specified default KPIs. The new KPI definitions constitute an extension of the model of the data processing system to thereby generate an extended model of the data processing system. The extended model is then used to monitor an operation of the data processing system.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 30, 2010Publication date: February 2, 2012Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: John W.

Patent number: 5154302Abstract: An open top container having at least one side wall constructed of vertically disposed panels having horizontally extending corrugations or ribs lending beam and column strength to the side wall panels. The panels of that side wall can have an interconnecting slip joint permitting limited horizontal movement between the panels. One or more of the side posts of at least that side wall can have inner and outer sleeved sections permitting vertical movement of the bottom end relative to the top end while restricting horizontal movement and forces. The side post vertical movement permits the transference of portions of the vertical, load imposed forces from the top rail to the corrugated ribs of the side wall panels. The composite beam consisting of the top rail, bottom rail, corrugated panels and side post can be prestressed for additional advantages. Also, both walls of a rectangular container for maximum advantage should include the horizontal corrugations and the sleeved side post.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 1991Date of Patent: October 13, 1992Inventor: John W. Alcorn

Patent number: 4795049Abstract: An open top container having at least one side wall constructed of vertically disposed panels having horizontally extending corrugations or ribs lending beam and column strength to the side wall panels. The panels of that side wall can have an interconnecting slip joint permitting limited horizontal movement between the panels. The top rail of at least that side wall can have inner and outer sleeved sections permitting limited longitudinal movement of the top rail to relieve the unit compressive forces on the top rail imposed by a load in the container. Preferably the slip joint is generally midway of the side wall and closely adjacent the top rail sleeved sections. Also, both side walls of a rectangular container for maximum advantage should include the horizontal corrugations, and slip joint and the top rail sleeved sections.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 1987Date of Patent: January 3, 1989Inventor: John W.

Patent number: 4650369Abstract: A low headroom culvert is provided wherein a series of shallow arch-shaped flat metallic sections are overlappingly secured together. Torsion and buckle resistant reinforcing cross ribbing elements are affixed to the exterior culvert sections at selected points along the culvert to form girder-like beams. The improved culvert structure provides reduced hydraulic flow resistance, can be easily installed and requires less metal for its manufacture in comparison to culverts made of corrugated sheet.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 1985Date of Patent: March 17, 1987Assignee: Kaiser Aluminum & Chemical CorporationInventors: David C.
