  • Managing parameter sets
    Patent number: 11210086
    Abstract: Managing sets of parameter values includes: receiving a plurality of sets of parameter values for a generic computer program, and processing log entries associated with executions of instances of the generic computer program, each instance associated with one or more parameter values. The processing includes: analyzing the generic computer program to classify each of one or more parameters associated with the generic computer program as a member of either a first class or a second class; processing a log entry associated with an execution of a first instance of the generic computer program to form a particular set of parameter values; and determining whether to add the particular set of parameter values to the plurality of sets of parameter values based on a comparison of a first identifier for the particular set of parameter values to identifiers for at least some of the sets of parameter values.
    Type: Grant

  • Managing lineage information
    Patent number: 10175974
    Abstract: Managing lineage information includes: receiving lineage information representing one or more lineage relationships among two or more data processing programs and two or more logical datasets; receiving one or more runtime artifacts, each runtime artifact including information related to a previous execution of a data processing program of the two or more data processing programs; and analyzing the one or more runtime artifacts and the lineage information to determine one or more candidate modifications to the lineage information.
