  • Patent number: 11005912
    Abstract: Managing the timing of publication of new webpages and in particular new versions of existing webpages. New webpages are uploaded into a data repository for storing them before they are made available for access externally. A dependency processor is provided to process these new webpages to assess their readiness for publication by checking for dependencies on other webpages, the dependencies including a mutual dependency; locating any of the other webpages; and ascertaining whether each such dependency is satisfied. If dependencies are satisfied, then the new webpage is deemed ready for publication and is published. The satisfied dependencies include the content being accessible. In the case that the new webpage is a new version of an existing webpage, it replaces the old version. If dependencies are not satisfied, then the new webpage is held back until such time as they are met.

  • Patent number: 10929373
    Abstract: A facility for event failure management is provided, which includes providing a failed event database containing failed event information relating to failed events and one or more components associated with each of the failed events. Upon modification to a component associated with a failed event, the failed event is retried. Based on a result of retrying the failed event, failed event information of the failed event database is updated. The failed event database may therefore be dynamically and/or automatically updated so that it contains up-to-date and appropriate information for predicting and/or managing event failures.
