  • Patent number: 10031830
    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are provided for evaluating database accesses. The apparatus may comprise a computer program that causes a computer system to exchange profiling data between a client application module and a database module; execute a database access; determine a database access policy violation at a detection point module; and selectively request context information from a context point module related to the database access.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8245200
    Abstract: A Method, System and Apparatus for dynamically injecting logging statements into Web 2.0 JavaScript applications includes a single block of JavaScript code configured to execute on a client device by loading a profiler JavaScript code into memory on the client device and registering a target JavaScript object. The profiler JavaScript code is configured to dynamically scan the user-defined JavaScript code and modify the functions to add events to a modified user-defined code which include an identification of when the function was called, when the function was exited and when an exception occurs. The modification module is wrapped into a try/catch block so that exceptions can be handled and posted back to the server or displayed to the user or developer.

  • Patent number: 7865535
    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method for creating and managing a data server-managed web services runtime. A generic web service runtime module and associated runtime controller are deployed on an application server. The runtime controller monitors a web services management metadata store for changes in the web service metadata defining the available data access based web services. If a change is detected, the generic web services runtime automatically updates the web service artifacts and web service endpoint interface associated with the affected web service such that the change in the web service metadata is reflected in the data access-based web service. A user manages the web services management metadata store and defines and manages data access-based web services from the database containing the web services management metadata store without interacting with the application server.

  • Patent number: 7856575
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide techniques for troubleshooting of computer systems using a fault tree analysis. In one embodiment, data parameters describing a status of a system may be monitored to determine the existence of a fault. In the event of a fault, fault tree analysis metadata may be evaluated to attempt to determine a root cause of the fault. If a root cause can be automatically determined, it may be presented to a user in a troubleshooting console, or may be used to trigger an automated corrective action. Alternatively, if a root cause cannot be automatically determined, the user may be presented with additional fault tree analysis metadata and any relevant data parameters in the troubleshooting console, so that the user may determine the root cause of the fault event.

  • Publication number: 20080016192
    Abstract: In response to a triggering event, a resilient administrative schedule system recognizes a need to perform an administrative task on one of a set of data servers. A user selects the administrative task. The system determines an operational status of the data server to determine a communication protocol for communicating with the data server, selects the communication protocol based on the operational status of the data server adding the selected administrative task to a task list, and automatically executes the selected administrative task at a predetermined execution time without intervention by a human administrator.
