Abstract: Systems, methods, computer program product embodiments for an active/push notification façade for a passive database are described herein. An embodiment includes an event listener configured to poll (or query) a passive database and selectively retrieve data objects based on the poll results. Such a selective database read operation may be based on the priority of an event occurring in the passive database. If events of a low priority occur, the event listener does not open the passive database immediately to retrieve additional information related to the low priority event but defers reading the passive database by a pre-determined amount of time. If a higher priority event occurs, the passive database is immediately read to retrieve details related to the high priority event from the passive database. In another embodiment, event listener reads the passive database based on event timestamp information in the passive database and stored timestamp information.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product for synchronizing events between a mobile device and a server are described herein. In an embodiment, the method operates by detecting events to be synchronized between a source and a target, wherein the source and target are one of either a mobile device or a server. The method comprises deducing activities that occurred in order to create the detected event, reading data records corresponding to the deduced activities, and creating packets of operations needed to recreate the deduced activities on the target. The method further comprises queuing the packets of operations and data records and receiving event synchronization results at the source after the queued packets of operations have successfully executed on the target, wherein the synchronization results include a synchronization status and a unique record identifier identifying the event. In an embodiment, personal information manager (PIM) events are synchronized.

Abstract: System, method, computer program product embodiments and combinations and sub-combinations thereof for controlling lifetimes of server add-ins are described herein. Embodiments of the invention enable a service module, located at a first server, to externally control lifetime of one or more process add-ins located at a second server. An embodiment includes instantiating the service module at the first server and instantiating, using the service module, a controller add-in at the second server. The service module can instantiate the controller add-in to control the lifetime of (i.e. instantiate or terminate) process add-ins at the second server. In an embodiment, such lifetime control can be performed without shutting down the second server or other operations running on the second server.

Abstract: Systems, methods, computer program product embodiments for deferred reading of email databases are described herein. An embodiment includes an event listener configured to poll (or query) the email server and selectively read an email database associated with the email server. Such a selective database read operation is based on the priority of an event occurring in the email server. If events of a low priority occur, the event listener does not open the email database immediately to retrieve additional information related to the low priority event but defers reading the email database by a pre-determined amount of time. If a higher priority event occurs, the email database is immediately read to retrieve details related to the high priority event from the mail server database. In another embodiment, event listener reads the email database based on when event timestamp information is updated by the email server.
