Patent number: 9450820Abstract: An administrative control interface is provided that controls deployed application server plugins that operate within an application-server plugin framework deployed at a group of application servers. The administrative control interface controls dynamic adjustment of runtime application server plugin configurations that perform request-level management and server-level management of the group of application servers. Request-level application server functionality and server-level application server functionality of at least one of the group of application servers is controlled using at least one of the deployed application server plugins as specified by application-server plugin commands received from the administrative control interface.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2014Date of Patent: September 20, 2016Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Peter D.

Patent number: 9100421Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for performing centralized monitoring of application sessions across a distributed computing environment comprising a plurality of application servers. A request to perform an application session monitoring operation to monitor at least one of input or output streams of application sessions associated with a specified user account identifier is received. A plurality of application instances upon which to perform the requested application session monitoring operation are identified. An application session monitoring request is transmitted to a plurality of session control clients associated with the application instances on a plurality of application servers of the distributed computing environment.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2012Date of Patent: August 4, 2015Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Gordan G. Greenlee, Richard J. McCarty

Patent number: 8805935Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for managing multi-threaded conversations in an instant messaging system. The present invention provides a menu option to allow the start of a new topic of discussion within the current instant messaging session. When a new topic is selected, a new thread of conversation is created within the messaging window that is segregated from previous topics of discussion. This new thread of conversation may be created at all other locations for all of the parties involved in the instant messaging session. In this manner, each party to a messaging session containing multiple conversations may be able to understand which response is related to which thread of conversation. In addition, a menu option may be provided by the instant messaging application to allow a user to merge one or more of the threaded conversations into a single conversation.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2008Date of Patent: August 12, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Dustin C. Kirkland, Richard J. McCarty, Herman Rodriguez

Patent number: 7882195Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for filtering and prioritizing instant messaging threaded conversations in an instant messaging system based on thread content. The instant messaging client analyzes an incoming message to determine the thread subject. Based on the thread subject analysis, the client determines the priority level associated with the incoming message. The message is then delivered and displayed to the recipient according to the priority level. The present invention also allows a participant initiating a thread of conversation to override filter settings on a messaging client. The authority to override settings may be predicated on an external list, such as a corporate telephone directory. As a result, the participant, having some authority or rights to override the recipient's instant messaging settings, may be allowed to conduct a messaging session with the recipient.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2008Date of Patent: February 1, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Dustin C.
