Abstract: Systems and techniques are disclosed for generating a session identifier to be used when implementing changes in a complex system that facilitates identification and retrieval of data indicating the scope and impact of the changes. An execution identifier for a set of operations and a service identifier for a service performing the operations may be used as a basis for the session identifier. The session identifier may be provided to computing resources on which operations are performed and logged by the computing resources along with the results of the operations. This activity data associated with the particular set of operations can be retrieved using the session identifier to determine the scope and impact of the operations on the system.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for continuing the display of an advertisement in a display window in response to a user accessing a different media asset while the advertisement is being displayed. In some embodiments, the different media asset is displayed simultaneously with the advertisement in the display window, until the advertisement is completed.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for displaying media assets on user equipment. The first media asset that the user desires to view is displayed on a display screen of the user equipment and its associated content characteristic is identified. Upon receiving a request to access a different media asset, a search is initiated to identify a second media asset that matches the identified content characteristic of the displayed media asset. After such a media asset has been identified, it is determined whether the content source that provides such an identified media asset includes an advertisement at the time the user request is received. If the content source of the identified media asset does not include an advertisement at the time of the user request, then the identified media asset is displayed on the display screen of the user equipment.
