Abstract: A database session in an active standby server on which an active standby database resides receives a DML statement. The session is suspended while the statement is redirected over a database link to a primary database on which the statement is executed. Information associated with execution of the statement is communicated to the session in the active standby server. Redo records describing changes to the contents of the primary database are applied to the active standby database and control is returned to the session. Prior to commitment of a transaction including the statement, a query directed to data to which the statement was directed is received at the active standby server from a client and executed on the active standby database absent use of a database link based on whether information associated with a database session associated with the client matches the information associated with execution of the statement.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes apparatuses and techniques of adaptive PLMN management for varying network conditions. In some aspects, a PLMN manager of a user equipment (UE) searches, as part of a registration procedure, a data repository of PLMN information that includes a PLMN blocked from registration for a duration of time and determines that the PLMN is blocked due to a signal-related condition with a cell of the PLMN (e.g., weak signal). The PLMN manager then determines, during the duration of time, that the signal-related condition between the UE and the cell has improved. In response to the improvement, the PLMN manager unblocks the PLMN before expiration of the duration of time. By so doing, the UE may reattempt registration with the unblocked PLMN at least once before the duration of time expires, which may allow the UE to register more quickly and reestablish network services.

Abstract: A system, method and the like for front-end comprehensive validation of data files that require processing by multiple different computing systems having different validation requirements. Validation for all of the multiple different computing systems is performed upon receipt of the data file by the data processing entity and, as such, in the event that validation results in an error/failure, the originator/sender of the data file can be notified of the error failure proximate in time to when the data file is transmitted to the data processing entity and can re-submit a valid data file in due time. In addition, the present invention is configured to insure that the validation meets the current requirements of all the computing systems that process the data file by employing a centralized data file validation requirements database that stores validation requirements for each of the computing systems.
