Abstract: A system and method for managing log entries associated with execution events in an application. The system and method may include a log provider wrapper for receiving log entries associated with the event and log providers for receiving all or part of the information associated with a log entry. The log provider wrapper, through communication with a logging configuration, may filter the log entry, segment information contained in the log entry, format the information, and deliver the information to one or more log providers. The log providers may send the information to a respective destination medium.

Abstract: The subject invention pertains to a systems and methods of restarting programs upon failure. In particular, the systems and methods provide for generation of a checkpoint component including program execution status or completion data as well as state. This checkpoint component can then be employed by an execution engine to restart the program at a point in time captured by the checkpoint component. According to one specific aspect of the invention, these systems and methods can be applied to a workflow system to facilitate restarting a workflow package or process described thereby.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable media for designing and executing workflows can be equipped with a means for manipulation of workflow steps by grouping them, such as by placing them in containers. A container can be associated with a database transaction. In some embodiments, a container property can be set to indicate whether the container must participate, may participate, or may not participate in a database transaction. Further, containers may be placed in parent containers, and optionally inherit the transaction property of the parent.

Abstract: A persisted object model is loaded from an object model document comprising a compiled executable file having an image source, a security source, and a loader. The loader is instantiated, and instantiates the object model from the image source and a security agent from the security source to control access to the instantiated object model. The loader returns to a commander a first reference to the instantiated security agent, whereby the commander in employing the first reference accesses the security agent rather than the instantiated object model. A commander issues a command to the instantiated object model by way of the first reference to the security agent, and the security agent receives and reviews same according to pre-defined rules to determine whether the object model should in fact receive the command. If so, the security agent forwards the command to the object model.

Abstract: Impact analysis provides the ability to determine the objects that a particular object depends on or uses, as well as determine the objects that are dependent on or use a particular object. The term object may refer to tasks and/or object types, for example. Impact analysis is desirable for improving user productivity in large, complex documents because it facilitates determining how and where an object is used by other objects in the system, thereby potentially saving a great deal of manual work.

Abstract: A laser system employing amplification via a single exciton regime and to optical gain media having single exciton amplification is provided.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for a user interface with an automatic search menu. The interface exposes commands to the user as instantly searchable hierarchy. Visually, this is represented as a tree view with an edit box above it. There is no “Search” or “Go” button to press. One second after any character is entered in the edit box, the computer reduces a displayed hierarchy down to only those items that match the keyword entered. Entering another character before one second expires resets the timer. This allows the user to type in as little or as much of the keyword as necessary to reduce the hierarchy to a few items, one of which can then be mouse-clicked. This method scales to large number of commands.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described that enable patching of security vulnerabilities in binary files. The detection and patching of vulnerable binary files is automatic, reliable, regression free, and comprehensive across networks on an unlimited scale. These advantages can be realized in various ways including, for example, by leveraging current anti-virus infrastructure that is widely deployed across the Internet. Reliable discovery of vulnerable binary files (e.g., in operating systems, application programs, etc.) is achieved through the use of binary signatures that have been associated with discovered security vulnerabilities. A divergence of security patches away from conventional service packs provides for the possibility of production of regression-free fixes for security vulnerabilities in binary files.

Abstract: The subject disclosure pertains broadly to parallelization of workflow loops. More specifically, loop containers and related elements are cloned several times to match a desired number of parallel iterations or threads. The cloned containers are communicatively coupled or connected to a single enumerator component and can interact therewith to facilitate acquisition of collection elements. This arrangement, among other things, ensures that the correct number of iterations are executed as if the loop was processed sequentially.

Abstract: The subject disclosure pertains to data parsing with patterns or regular expressions. A mechanism is provided for annotating a regular expression with additional information regarding data extraction such as output fields and mapping of the output fields to sub-sections of matched data. A parser can utilize the annotation information to facilitate mapping and transfer of at least a portion of pattern matched data from a source to a destination. The disclosed systems and methods thus enable data to be exacted while it is being matched.

Abstract: A system that provides a visual mechanism (e.g., user interface (UI)) by which a user can design a regular expression is provided. The graphical interactive mechanism enables a user to develop regular expressions without an understanding of the intricacies of the regular expression syntax. The UI can provide an interactive mechanism by which a user can graphically annotate (e.g., color, highlight) a regular expression thus, mapping the expression to a particular tabulated output. The novel UI can provide a particular kind of dialog layout with several controls and dynamically linked views, e.g., a data view, a regular expression view and a column view which can facilitate definition of the regular expression as well as creation of mappings to output columns (e.g., annotations).

Abstract: A linguistic system and method of representing a data flow diagram is provided. Given the capabilities of a conventional data flow graph, and given the types of nodes that can exist in the graph, the subject innovation employs a specific method to create a language capable of describing the data flow graph. The resulting language can be used in application program interfaces (APIs), user interfaces (UIs) and the like to allow users to quickly enter definitions of data flow graphs as they are using various software systems, such as spreadsheet applications, word processing applications, presentation applications, business systems, etc. The language can identify complex data flows that include multiple sources, chained transformation components and/or multiple destinations.
