  • Patent number: 12294485
    Abstract: An apparatus comprises at least one processing device configured to generate an annotation for a pattern-matching rule in a rule-based analysis service specifying one or more asset-generic patterns, the generated annotation comprising instructions for writing additional pattern-matching rules in response to detecting the asset-generic patterns on specific information technology assets. The at least one processing device is also configured to monitor information associated with operation of information technology assets and to detect at least one of the asset-generic patterns of the pattern-matching rule on a given one of the information technology assets. The at least one processing device is further configured to generate a given additional pattern-matching rule in the rule-based analysis service specifying (i) asset-specific patterns and (ii) actions to take in response to detecting the asset-specific patterns.

  • Publication number: 20240385923
    Abstract: An apparatus comprises a processing device configured to obtain a testing data set associated with a test scenario comprising a configuration phase and execution of test suites, the testing data set comprising a first portion generated from the configuration phase and additional portions generated from execution of the test suites. The processing device is also configured to generate a first data structure based on analyzing the first portion of the testing data set in a first namespace, and to insert at least a portion of the first data structure into additional namespaces each comprising a corresponding one of the additional portions of the testing data set generated from execution of one of the test suites. The processing device is further configured to generate additional data structures based on analyzing the additional portions of the testing data set and the inserted components of the first data structure in the additional namespaces.

  • Patent number: 11599385
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system for obtaining an input for a build. An initial orchestration job scheduler object may be obtained based upon the input for the build. A directed acyclic graph (DAG) may be determined based upon, at least in part, a dependency engine preprocessing. The DAG may be stored in a format. An array of steps may be built based upon, at least in part, the object, wherein the DAG may be translated from the object into a format readable by an initial orchestration job scheduler to build the array of steps. The array of steps may be executed to perform the build.

  • Patent number: 5142680
    Abstract: The method allows for the loading of operating systems between computers over a network, thereby drastically decreasing the amount of time required to download an operating system or update an operating system. A root directory is created and a subset of the operating system is loaded into the memory of the computer which is to receive the operating system, thereby eliminating the need to access or use the disk during the operating system download process. The subset of the operating system contains the basic commands for file creation and manipulation, directory creation and network communication. The computer system is then started using the subset of the operating system located in memory and connected to the network. Once the computer is connected to the network, the files comprising the operating system to be downloaded are copied and transferred from a remote computer over the network and stored on the disk drive of the receiving computer.
