Abstract: Context information associated with a network node is determined. For example, a network node (e.g., a server) has indicated that an application on the network node appears to be having performance problems. The context information may be to gather data about the application, such as, load, number of users accessing the application, etc. The context information comprises one or more rules for dynamically configuring how data is collected on the node. For example, the rule may indicate what specific statistics should be gathered from the application in real-time. The context information is sent to the network node. Node information is received from the network node in response to sending the context information. The node information is collected based on the one or more rules for configuring how data is collected on the network node. The node information is organized and is displayed on a user interface to a user.

Abstract: Provided is a method and system for scheduling a task in a data warehouse. A task in a data warehouse is scheduled based on selection of a report related to the data warehouse.

Abstract: Presented is a method of managing exclusive access to a resource. The method includes determining anticipated wait time, for a task to obtain exclusive access to a resource, and processing the task, depending on the anticipated wait time required to obtain exclusive access to the resource.

Abstract: Provided is a method of loading data in a data warehouse. Two types of work tables are generated, namely, a first work table and a second work table. The data is loaded into the first work table and prepared for loading, using the second work table as temporary table for data preparation. The prepared data is loaded into the data warehouse.

Abstract: Presented is a method and system for verifying data accuracy. The method includes defining various steps of a data flow process, specifying data structure details at each step of the data flow process by metadata, providing at least one column dedicated for auditing in every table of a data warehouse involved in the data flow process, logging details related to a task execution at each step of the data flow process in the at least one column dedicated for auditing, storing the details related to a task execution along with data structure details and providing a visual representation of the stored details.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of generating an electronic document from a plurality of electronic documents, comprising providing a database comprising a plurality of electronic documents, each of said documents comprising semantically organized information portions; parsing the plurality of documents to extract semantic descriptors from said documents, each semantic descriptor relating to one of said information portions; displaying an overview of the extracted semantic descriptors for selection by a user; receiving user-selected extracted semantic descriptors; extracting the information portions relating to the user-selected semantic descriptors from the plurality of electronic documents; and combining said extracted portions into a further electronic document. The method may be implemented in a computer program product, which may form part of a data processing system.

Abstract: Real time status changes of network elements in a network are reported and correlated, to help in eliminating events that are not of interest and to annotate or generate events that provide more useful information to the network operator. The result of the correlation can also be used to intelligently trigger further performance data collection to more precisely determine the level of performance degradation resulting from a status change.
