Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for replicating data across deployments in a routing constrained environment. To replicate data, a processor may detect a modification that changes data for a source entity within a source environment hosting a source deployment of an application. The processor may then update a target environment hosting a target deployment of the application to mirror the modification within the source environment. To update the target environment, the processor may generate a mapping artifact that identifies the source entity having changed data and the target entity within the target environment receiving the changed data. The processor may then create a mapping infrastructure including one or more compute instances that replicate the changed data for the source entity in the target entity.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and computer implemented method for executing card present transaction dynamically from remote environment. A first payment terminal receives payment details and configuration information of a second payment terminal associated with a merchant located separate from the first payment terminal from an intermediate agent device. A payment channel is initiated by emulating the second payment terminal using the configuration details. The first payment terminal receives transaction related data once user initiates the payment transaction using a physical payment card in the first payment terminal. The transaction related data is communicated to the second payment terminal which sends a transaction message comprising transaction related data to an issuer system for authorization. Thereafter, a result of the payment transaction is received from the second payment terminal via the intermediate agent device.

Abstract: A network analytics system can receive first sensor data, including first network activity and a first timestamp associated with a first clock of a first node, and second sensor data, including second network activity and a second timestamp associated with a second clock of a second node. The system can determine a first delta between the first clock and a third clock based on the first timestamp, and a second delta between the second clock and the third clock. The system can determine a first communication latency associated with a first sensor of the first node, and a second communication latency associated with a second sensor of the second node. The system can generate a report that synchronizes one or more data flows between the first node and the second node based on the first delta, the second delta, the first communication latency, and the second communication latency.

Abstract: Certain embodiments disclosed herein reduce or eliminate a communication bottleneck at the storage manager by reducing communication with the storage manager while maintaining functionality of an information management system. In some implementations, a client obtains information for enabling a secondary storage job (e.g., a backup or restore) from a storage manager and stores the information (which may be referred to as job metadata) in a local cache. The client may then reuse the job metadata for multiple storage jobs reducing the frequency of communication with the storage manager. When a configuration of the information management system changes, or the availability of resources changes, the storage manager can push updates to the job metadata to the clients. Further, a client can periodically request updated job metadata from the storage manager ensuring that the client does not rely on out-of-date job metadata.
