Abstract: A first agent process is provided in a first computing environment. The first agent process is in communication with a first application. A second agent process is provided in a second computing environment, and the second agent process is in communication with a second application. Both the second agent process and first application run behind a firewall. The first agent process and second agent process communicate with each other across the firewall to have tasks performed by the second application on behalf of the first application.

Abstract: An injective function can execute against two different data repositories to generate a textual state representation for each of the different data repositories. The injective function can be a function that preserves distinctness, where the distinctiveness can be a one-to-one mapping of each element within the element domain to one element of a co-domain. The hash function can be executed for each of the different textual state representations to generate a corresponding hash number. The hash numbers can be compared to each other. When results from the comparing indicate the hash numbers are equivalent, the two different data repositories can be determined to be equivalent to each other and when results indicates the hash numbers are not equivalent, the two different data repositories can be determined to be not equivalent to each other.
