Abstract: Method, computer program product, and computer system are provided. A controller component verifies the state of all file sets. The controller component initiates a sub-controller component, based on successfully verifying the state of the file sets. The sub-controller component suspends write operations to all databases at the primary site computer. Based on the suspending completing without error, the sub-controller executes point-in-time copy processes for each of the databases and for application non-database files at the primary site computer. Applications using the databases and non-database files are not suspended. Based on all of the point-in-time copy processes completing without error, the sub-controller component resumes write operations to all databases at the primary site computer. The point-in-time copies are automatically sent to the secondary site computer so that the applications can operate at the secondary site computer if the primary site computer becomes unavailable.

Abstract: This provides locations for mounting controllers and processing components that effectively employ the roof within a frame covered by a cowling so as to avoid exposure to weather and the environment. The roof is also employed to provide a sensor bar that extends across the vehicle width for a distance that does not interfere with normal vehicle function or generate potential overhangs, which can inadvertently engage objects or vehicles. The bar is sufficient in size and shape so as to allow mounting of a plurality of types of sensors on its top surface and/or recessed within front or rear edges. Such sensors can include visual light cameras for machine vison processes and/or LIDAR of various types and cooperage areas/fields of view—some of which can be recessed within a hollow region of the bar. Additional sensors can be mounted on the truck cab and/or chassis, including visual-light cameras and radars.
