Patent number: 8583600Abstract: A method, system, and computer usable program product for deploying directory instances are provided in the illustrative embodiments. A configuration of an existing directory instance is cloned to the new directory instance. The existing directory instance may execute in a first data processing system and the new directory instance may execute in a second data processing system. A schema of the existing directory instance is cloned to the new directory instance. A determination is made whether the new directory instance is a peer of the existing directory instance. Data from the existing directory instance is cloned to the new directory instance if the new directory instance is a peer of the existing directory instance. The new directory instance is made operational in a directory topology.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2008Date of Patent: November 12, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Kristin Marie Hazlewood, Shevaun-Ann Michelle Fontenot, Yogesh Vilas Golwalkar, Gary Dale Williams

Patent number: 8285754Abstract: A method, system, and computer usable program product for preserving references to deleted directory entries are provided in the illustrative embodiments. An instruction to delete an entry is received. A second entry referencing the entry is identified. The second entry is marked as a ghost reference to the entry. The entry is converted to a deleted entry. A ghost attribute with a value of “false” may be added to the entry. A ghost attribute or tag with a value of “false” may be added to the second entry. The ghost tag may correspond to an attribute of the second entry that references the entry. An entry may be deleted by setting a value of a ghost attribute in the entry to true. The second entry may be marked as the ghost reference by setting a value of a ghost attribute or a ghost tag in the second entry to true.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2009Date of Patent: October 9, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Kristin Marie Hazlewood, Daw Feng, John Mark McConaughy, Gary Dale Williams, Shevaun-Ann Michelle Fontenot

Patent number: 8073875Abstract: An instruction to delete the entry is received. A second entry that includes a reference to the entry is identified. A third entry including information to be preserved from the entry is added in a deleted entries subtree. The third entry is modified to include the reference information from the second entry. The third entry is saved such that during a restore of the entry the third entry provides the information to restore the entry and the reference to the entry. The third entry may include a set of attributes that store an identifier of the second entry. The entry is restored from the third entry and made available in the directory. A reference is recreated in the second entry to the restored entry forming a restored second entry.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2009Date of Patent: December 6, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Kristin Marie Hazlewood, John Mark McConaughy, Gary Dale Williams, Shevaun-Ann Michelle Fontenot, Daw Feng
