Abstract: Roll back strategies for database deadlock resolution are customized by identifying a first transaction to a database, identifying a second transaction to the database and detecting a deadlock between the first and second transactions with respect to the database. The deadlock is resolved based upon a predetermined roll back strategy associated with at least one of the first or second transactions to identify a select one of the first and second transactions for roll back and a request is conveyed to roll back the selected one of the first and second transactions, wherein the preferred transaction is allowed to continue processing.

Abstract: A batch data stream, which comprises inputs to a serial batch application program, is received. Batch code from the serial batch application program is translated into parallel code that is executable in parallel by multiple execution units. Checkpoints are applied to the batch data stream that has been received, and data between the checkpoints defines multiple threads. The multiple threads are stored in an input queue that feeds data inputs to multiple execution units. The parallel code is then executed in the multiple execution units by using the multiple threads as inputs.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to deploying heterogeneous workloads in separate resource pools and provide a method, system and computer program product for on-demand application scheduling in a heterogeneous environment. In one embodiment of the invention, a method for balancing nodal allocations in a resource pool common to both transactional workloads and long running workloads can include parsing a service policy for both transactional workloads and also long running workloads. An allocation of nodes for a common resource pool for the transactional and long running workloads can be determined to balance performance requirements for the transactional workloads and long running workloads specified by the service policy. Subsequently, the determined allocation can be applied to the common resource pool.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for automatically transforming data or business messages to enable communication between parties in a distributed computing environment (e.g. between business partners who exchange data over a public network, and who do not necessarily use the same data formats), where this data transformation preferably occurs at the edge of the computing network. A set of transformation services is described, and include template registration, transformation, forward, and receive services. Services from this set may optionally be combined to create composite transformation services. A template defines how to transform one data format into another. Selection criteria may be provided to enable dynamically selecting a template at run-time.
