Abstract: Techniques for replication rule evaluation are provided. A replication rule is received at a first node of a plurality of nodes where the replication rule defines object replication among the plurality of nodes. The replication rule is labeled as pending, where a second replication rule on the first node is labeled as active. Upon receiving a request to predict an effect of the replication rule, a first object of a plurality of objects is identified based on the first replication rule. Upon determining that the first object is present on the first node but is not present on a second node of the plurality of nodes, an indication of the first object is outputted.

Abstract: Techniques for dynamically detecting objects that are out of sync in an active mirrored environment are provided. A request is received at a local node of an active mirroring environment from a system function to perform a change operation on an object. Upon determining that the object is OOS, it is determined whether the local node or a remote node of the active mirroring environment has the most recent changes for the object. In one embodiment, the determination includes analyzing corresponding time stamps of changes listed in a repository of changes for objects in the mirrored environment. Upon determining that a remote node has the most recent changes for the object, a blocking attribute is set and the requested operation on the object blocked. However, upon determining that the local node has the most recent changes for the object, a tracking attribute is set and the requested operation allowed.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and products are provided for code path tracking. Embodiments include identifying an instrumented trace point in software code to be path tracked; identifying a function executed at the instrumented trace point in the software code; identifying parameters for the function executed at the instrumented trace point; and recording a description of the function, the parameters, and the result of the execution of the function using the parameters.
