Abstract: A method, apparatus, computer system, and computer program product for receiving, by a computer system, a usage request to use a subset of the objects from a client data processing system, wherein the objects are stored in a data repository. Responsive to receiving the usage request, the method transfers, by the computer system, the subset of the objects to the client data processing system and responsive to transferring the subset of the objects to the client data processing system, generating, by the computer system, an object transfer record, wherein the object transfer record describes the subset of the objects sent to the client data processing system. The method manages a utilization of the subset of the objects on the client data processing system utilizing the object transfer record.

Abstract: A computer receives a software engineering task to be carried out by a developer. The computer receives a description record comprising information regarding the software engineering task, wherein the description record includes information on a code area to be affected by the software engineering task. The computer queries a knowledge base based on the code area, the knowledge base comprising at least one relationship between an identity of a developer, a first electronic report comprising at least a user feedback and a code area changed by this developer. The computer selects, based on a result of said querying, one or more developers to carry out the software engineering task.

Abstract: Systems, methods, tools and computer programming products for implementing a cognitive data lake that selects or recommends operational database based on historically created data lakes storing files having similar file types, categorizations, metadata, and/or frequency of file usage. Selecting the appropriate operational databases is streamlined by building a knowledge base that is accessible during the creation and/or registration of each data lake. The knowledge base maintains historical records of past data lakes, describing each historical data lake's file types, attributes, metadata, frequency of file usage and at least one operational database implemented to manage the files of the historical data lake.

Abstract: A computer implemented method for discovering a software product in a corporate data processing system comprises: connecting a first computer to a knowledge database, the knowledge database comprising at least one software product indicating identifier that is adapted to identify a software product. Subsequently, the first computer may select, from the knowledge database, one of the at least one software product indicating identifiers. Then the first computer may connect to the corporate data processing system. This step is followed by analyzing, by the first computer, the corporate data processing system for an occurrence of the software product indicating identifier in the corporate data processing system. Eventually the first computer may write a result of the step of analyzing to a list of discovered software products.

Abstract: Embodiments include method, systems and computer program products for file management. Aspects include monitoring a device to determine an execution of a new process on the device. Based at least in part on the new process starting, a file system is monitored for the creation of a new file, wherein the new file includes one or more file characteristics. The one or more file characteristics are compared to a knowledge database to determine a file type for the new file and the new file is associated with the new process based at least in part on determining the file type for the new file.
