  • Correlating queries issued by applications with their source lines and analyzing applications for problem determination and where used analysis
    Patent number: 10013331
    Abstract: Provided are techniques for invoking with a processor executing on a computer a source code parser to obtain source information that includes a first location of an Application Programming Interface (API) call and parameters of the API call in source code of a client application, where the parameters the API call do not include query text for a query that is to be used to access a database; examining a stack trace to determine a second location of the API call in the stack trace; and deriving the query of the API call and a third location of the query in the source code by identifying the query in the stack trace at the location of the API call in the stack trace.
    Type: Grant

  • Method and data processing system for managing user roles
    Patent number: 7676498
    Abstract: The illustrative embodiment provides a computer implemented method, a data processing system, and a computer program product for managing user roles. A customization application receives a request to modify a user role for an application. In response to the request, the customization application allows a user to modify a set of features associated with the user role to form a set of customized features. A role database stores the set of customized features for the user role. The user roles in the role database are available for use by a plurality of users of the application.
