  • Patent number: 11934358
    Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for determining available remote storages in a network to use to replicate a file based on a geographical requirement with respect the file. A determination is made as whether available remote storages satisfy constraints associated with a document class of the file. The constraints include a geographical location at which to replicate the file and a minimum number of replications to create for the file. At least one remote storage of the available remote storages is selected that satisfies the constraints to store at least one copy of the file. The file is replicated to the selected at least one remote storage.

  • Patent number: 11295070
    Abstract: A user annotation entered in association with a content document of a workflow process executed in association with a metadata context-driven processing system is detected. The user annotation entered in association with the content document is analyzed according to a process-level context associated with the content document within the workflow process. Process-level metadata of the workflow process is inferred based upon the analysis of the user annotation according to the process-level context. The inferred process-level metadata is stored as part of the process-level context of the workflow process.

  • Patent number: 10997198
    Abstract: A method, a system, and a computer program product are provided. In various embodiments, an object is stored within a first data storage system resource indicating a dependency on a second data storage system resource, wherein the dependency requires collocation of the first data storage system resource and the second data storage system resource. An action applied to any one of the first data storage system resource and the second data storage system resource may be controlled based on the dependency.

  • Publication number: 20190116109
    Abstract: Application-level connection pre-testing of an available connection type of a number of different available connection types is performed by an application executed by a processor programmed to use the different available connection types and a number of different available service interfaces. Application-accessible performance characteristics of the available connection type are measured by the application. A determination is made as to whether the measured application-accessible performance characteristics of the available connection type satisfy a threshold application-level connection performance criterion specified in accordance with a service-level data transmission formatting option utilized by one of the different available service interfaces.

  • Patent number: 10241882
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system for identifying a current amount of resources used by a computing device. A future amount of resources may be estimated for executing a trace for a subsystem of the computing device. One or more rules may be identified for executing the trace for the subsystem of the computing device, wherein the one or more rules may be based upon, at least in part, at least one of the current amount of resources used by the computing device and the future amount of resources for executing the trace for the subsystem of the computing device. It may be determined whether to execute the trace for the subsystem of the computing device based upon, at least in part, the one or more rules.

  • Patent number: 10002135
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for managing a file stored in an enterprise content management (ECM) repository. In response to a check-out request from a client machine for a file stored in the ECM repository, a management application for an ECM system identifies ECM-related metadata associated with the file. The management application stores the ECM-related metadata into the file (or an associated file) prior to sending the file to the client. At check-in for the file, the management application identifies the location of the corresponding file in the ECM repository using the metadata previously stored in the file sent to the client.
