  • Patent number: 8204943
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for large distribution message handling. Data characterizing an intended distribution load of a message being greater than a threshold indicator may be received, a determination may be made to set a flag in response to the data; and an action may be performed in response to the flag being set. Determining a distribution load may involve determining a number of intended recipients of a distribution list, a size of a message across a number of intended recipients, and the like. Actions to be performed may include suppressing auto-replies, notifying a client, and denying distribution of a message.

  • Patent number: 8191081
    Abstract: A system and method for monitoring activity of a business application are disclosed. A system includes a condition editor provided by an integration builder tool of a message exchange infrastructure connecting an event resolution portal server and the business application. The condition editor is adapted to configure one or parameters to define one or more conditions for one or more business objects of the business application. The system further includes a filter framework adapted to detect a state change event from the one or more business objects, compare the state change with the one or more conditions to determine a relevance of the state change event, and report relevant state change events to the event resolution portal server.

  • Patent number: 8146103
    Abstract: A system and method for monitoring activity of heterogeneous systems within a business application landscape are disclosed. An object state change is detected in an object instance of one or more systems of the business application landscape. Each object state change is filtered according to one or more conditions related to the object instance. If the one or more conditions are met for an object state change, a filtered workflow event is generated, and the filtered workflow event is mapped to a common message proxy to generate a monitoring event message. Via the common message proxy, the monitoring event message is sent to a centralized monitoring process in an event resolution center of a portal server.
