  • Publication number: 20240320577
    Abstract: A method, a system, and computer program product for automated batch sizing for optimizing background jobs based on background job history data. A background job type of a background job scheduled to be executed, as a plurality of batches, by a plurality of servers, is identified. Background job history data for the background job type is retrieved. A batch size of the plurality of batches for an execution of the background job is determined using the background job history data corresponding to the background job type. The batch size of the plurality of batches is optimized based on one or more background job characteristics. An execution of the background job by the plurality of servers is controlled.

  • Publication number: 20210398084
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer media for processing time activities are provided herein. Time activities, each having a type and a timestamp, can be received. Based on the types and timestamps, a time activity pair can be formed, and a time interval can be generated corresponding to the time activity pair. Time intervals can have a classification. Activity for a time period can thus be determined through pair formation and time interval generation using the time activities received during the time period. A time tracking application account can be updated to include the generated time intervals.

  • Patent number: 10838980
    Abstract: A method may include generating, for a first time period having a first length, an instance of a collector object. The collector object may be configured to collect values over time periods having the first length. The instance of the collector object may be updated based on one or more values from a first record. The first record may store values collected over a second time period having a second length. A valuation operation may be performed based at least on the first instance of the collector object. The performance of the valuation operation may require values spanning at least one time period having the first length. Related systems and articles of manufacture, including computer program products, are also provided.
