  • Patent number: 11960369
    Abstract: A method for generating a copy of a database using a data streaming protocol is disclosed. The method comprises setting up a structure of a secondary database, prioritizing data objects to be copied from a primary database to the secondary database, copying data objects from the primary database to the secondary database using a data streaming protocol, restoring data corresponding to the data object in the secondary database in parallel to copying data objects from the primary database to the secondary database, applying changes made to the data corresponding to the data object in the primary database during the time of copying, after the data object has been copied, and making available the secondary database for usage once all data objects have been copied from the primary database to the secondary database so that a usable copy of the primary database is created.

  • Patent number: 7599848
    Abstract: A method, system and computer product for risk evaluation. A computer assigns a risk to an object. The object has an object measure-value and the risk has at least one threat level. The computer receives a probability of the at least one threat level. The probability refers to the object. The computer calculates the object measure-value by using the probability of the at least one threat level and by using a deviation-value that corresponds to the at least one threat level and relates to the object.

  • Publication number: 20050022118
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for creating book text structures. Such methods and systems may be implemented for generating updated book versions. In one embodiment, the method may comprise creating, on a client front-end computer, a book text structure by generating layout templates, and receiving, on a database server unit containing a collection of logical units, a request from the client front-end computer for data to be allocated to the layout templates. The method may also include interpreting template structure data that is requested, selecting required data based on the logical units, assigning layout templates to book chapters, retrieving required data and inserting the retrieved data in a book chapter structure, and generating a markup language file on the basis of the chapter structure containing the retrieved data. Further, the method may include importing, on the client front-end computer, the generated markup language file and converting the same into a print format file.
