Abstract: A message is received in a first form for communicating with a first DBMS wherein the first form comprises an internet message prefix and a data portion, the internet message prefix comprising routing information for a client. The message is modified into a second form wherein the client routing information is integrated into the data portion of the message and wherein the second form of the message is utilized to communicate with a second DBMS. A result message generated by the second DBMS is received wherein the result message comprises a result data portion, the result data portion including the routing information. The result message is modified to the first form wherein the result message comprises the internet message prefix, the internet message prefix comprising the client routing information obtained from the result data portion. In this manner, the result message may be routed to the client.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are provided for automatically freeing locked server resources using a timeout value closely related to actual real-time message delays plus a delta value that can be adjusted at a plurality of levels. The levels include default, server, connection, and transaction. The apparatus includes a timer, a communication module, a computation module, and a lock handler. The timer determines a timeout value for communications from a client to a server. The communication module sends an output message to the client and locks a server resource in anticipation of an acknowledgement (ACK) message from the client. The computation module, which calculates an ACK timer, includes a difference between a send time and a current time. If no ACK message has been received from the client and the ACK timer exceeds the timeout value, the lock handler may free the locked server resource.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for directly accessing a database management system (“DBMS”). A client communication module is included to transmit a data call between a client and a client interface wherein the client interface resides within a database network. A DBMS communication module is included to transmit the data call between the client interface and a hierarchical DBMS on a host within the database network. The client interface and hierarchical DBMS are free of user-defined code.

Abstract: A system for facilitating XML enable IMS transactions includes a generic XML processor inside an IMS connect program to facilitate any TCP/IP clients, including WebSphere and non-WebSphere, to send and receive XML documents to and from existing IMS transaction business logic. Translations between XML documents and IMS transaction message data structures occur within the IMS connect program under an XML task to parse and transform XML requests and responses. Further, the generic XML processor within the IMS connect program can provide data translation for both non-formatted and formatted IMS transactional messages in XML.

Abstract: The invention analyzes areas of conditions with an expert knowledge base of rules using plural separate nodes which fire respective rules of said knowledge base, each of said rules upon being fired altering certain of said conditions predicated upon existence of others of said conditions, the invention operating by constructing a P representation of all pairs of said rules which are input dependent or output dependent; constructing a C representation of all pairs of said rules which are communication dependent or input dependent; determining which of the rules are ready to fire by matching the predicate conditions of each rule with the conditions of said set; enabling said node means to simultaneously fire those of the rules ready to fire which are defined by said P representation as being free of input and output dependencies; and communicating from each node enabled by said enabling step the alteration of conditions by the corresponding rule to other nodes whose rules are defined by said C matrix means as b
