Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system, and/or computer program product monitors stored procedures that are executed in a database management system. A determination is made, for a stored procedure that is executed in a database management system, of an identification of the stored procedure and event data related to the stored procedure. The event data includes when the stored procedure began and ended executing, an SQL identifier for an SQL statement in the stored procedure, and a counter of how many times the SQL statement executed. The database management system provides values of parameters used when executing the SQL statement. These values are then correlated with the count of how many times the SQL statement executed.

Abstract: Providing information of a monitored system through a graphical user interface (GUI) of a monitoring application to support simplified or automatic identification of events. The method includes initiating an event pattern script recording. The method also includes keeping track of user actions on said GUI and on activated GUI panels during said event pattern script recording by requesting a user to specify, once the user activates a further GUI panel, which panel information in a current GUI panel triggered activation of said further GUI panel and based on what criterion the triggering occurred. The user specified information results in triggering information. The method also includes, in response to receiving an indication that an event has been identified, stopping said event pattern script recording. The method also includes, storing said event pattern script recording, GUI panel information and said triggering information.

Abstract: In a method for carrying out an automatic braking in a motor vehicle with the aid of a pump which delivers a brake fluid in the direction of the wheel brakes, the brake pressure prevailing in the brake circuit is limited by a valve, which is overflowed when a settable pressure threshold is reached, and thus limiting the brake pressure. The dynamics of the pressure build-up is improved if the valve opens only at higher pressures, since a greater share of the volume flow coming from the hydraulic pump is then in fact conducted to the wheel brakes and is not able to flow off prematurely via the valve.

Abstract: A method for tuning a database system is disclosed. A tuning strategy is received comprising a first procedure to determine a suggested tuning action, and a second procedure to measure performance of the database system. The suggested tuning action is determined and pre-action performance measured according to the respective procedures. Undo information that indicates how to undo the database system state change of the suggested tuning action is recorded in a database system state history. After executing the suggested tuning action, post-action database system performance is measured according to the second procedure. When the post-action performance is lower than the pre-action performance, the database system state change is undone using the undo information. Embodiments enabling to create new tuning strategies, downloading existing tuning strategies, sharing own tuning strategies and changing existing tuning strategies are disclosed as well.

Abstract: A backstop for stopping the movement of a product as it comes off a conveyor of a manufacturing line includes a motor connected by a linkage to a longitudinally moveable strike plate. The motor applies force to the strike plate in accordance with a predetermined curve to bring the product to a soft stop.

Abstract: A method for activating the switchover valve of a brake circuit which is configured to build up brake pressure independently of the driver within the context of a vehicle standstill-holding function, is described, in which: the vehicle standstill is detected and, as long as the driver operates the brake during the standstill, the switchover valve is activated via a first current intensity other than zero (iUSV1) during a first phase; and the switchover valve is activated via a second current intensity other than zero (iUSV2) during a subsequent second phase; the first current intensity being selected in such a way that the switchover valve just closes at this current intensity; and the second current intensity being selected in such a way that the switchover valve is securely closed at this current intensity.
