  • Patent number: 10303678
    Abstract: Disclosed aspects relate to using a database driver to manage application resiliency with respect to a shared pool of configurable computing resources. A transaction request having a set of command data is received. The set of command data for the transaction request is captured in a memory device coupled with the database driver. The transaction request is connected with a first asset of the shared pool of configurable computing resources. An error event is detected related to the first asset. It is ascertained that the error event indicates a configuration for an automatic client reroute (ACR) operation. Using the ACR operation, the transaction request is connected with a second asset of the shared pool of configurable computing resources. The set of command data for the transaction request is transmitted from the memory device coupled with the database driver to the second asset.

  • Patent number: 8200972
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for processing data. Connections having different security properties are stored, wherein each of the connections allows applications at the client computer to access data sources at a server computer. A request is received from an application to access a data source, wherein the request has associated security properties. In response to the client computer requesting establishment of a connection on behalf of the application, it is determined whether there is a stored connection that used a same set of security properties as are associated with the request from the application and that connected to the data source that the application requests access to. In response to determining that there is a stored connection that used the same set of security properties and that connected to the data source, the connection and an associated client encryption seed, client encryption token, server encryption seed, and server encryption token are re-used.
