  • Patent number: 11507880
    Abstract: Monitoring and automatically remediating issues that arise at run-time during integrations between Application Program Interfaces (APIs) of two or more endpoint products over an integration framework. The monitoring is facilitated by inserting specialized modules into the integration framework that detects changes in the outputs of the integrated endpoint products and attempts to remedy them by automatically adjusting the output in-transit towards a destination endpoint. The specialized modules can be enhanced by machine learning algorithms trained on previously successful remedies. Remedies may be directed towards schema variations and performance drifts, among others.

  • Patent number: 11128568
    Abstract: A packet is analyzed at an outbound end of a tunnel from a first data network to determine whether the packet is directed to a first remote target in a first remote data network over a first tunnel or to a second remote target in a second remote data network over a second tunnel. A target address of the packet is present in both the first remote data network and the second remote data network. When the packet is to be directed to the first remote target in the first remote data network, an octet in the target address of the packet is changed from a first value to a second value, the changing forming a modified packet. When the second value is stored in the octet, the modified packet is caused to be sent to the tunnel for delivery to the second data network.

  • Patent number: 11025542
    Abstract: At an outbound end of a tunnel from a first data network, a packet is analyzed to determine whether the packet is to be directed to a local target in the first data network or to be sent over the tunnel to a remote target in a second data network. A target address of the packet is present in both the first data network and the second data network. When the packet is to be directed to the remote target in the second data network, an octet in the target address of the packet is changed from a first value to a second value, the changing forming a modified packet. When the second value is stored in the octet, the modified packet is caused to be sent to the tunnel for delivery to the second data network.

  • Publication number: 20180196647
    Abstract: Transforming application programming interface calls is provided. An application programming interface discovery process is performed on a second data processing system to determine how a task corresponding to a service request received from a first data processing system is performed on the second data processing system. An application programming interface call integration pattern is selected based on the application programming interface discovery process. The selected application programming interface call integration pattern corresponds to application programming interface calls and associated data that are same or similar to an application programming interface call and associated data included in the service request.

  • Patent number: 9563490
    Abstract: For systems integration, an information published about an application programming interface (API) of a service is parsed to extract a pattern from the information. the pattern is compared with a stored pattern in a repository, wherein the stored pattern corresponds to a known API. When the pattern matches the stored pattern within a threshold degree of match, a conclusion is made that the API of the service is the known API. A collector code module is selected where the collector code module is configured to call the known API. The collector code module is sequenced in an integration sequence, to call the known API. A forwarder code module is also sequence din the integration sequence to forward a data output of the service to a consumer application.
