Abstract: The subject disclosure is directed towards resource sharing and/or isolation in a role based access (RBA) system. A resource may be associated with an owner, via an owner property, which provides isolation by enforcing exclusive access to that resource by the owner (unless the owner chooses to share). Sharing is provided by allowing the owner to identify, in a GrantedTo list, selected receiving user(s) or user role(s) that can have shared access. Also described is administrator-level control over the ability to share resources and/or receive shared resources, e.g., an administrator selects whether a resource owner is permitted to share resources and/or whether receiving users/user roles are permitted to receive shared resources.

Abstract: A virtual machine management/monitoring service can be configured to automatically monitor and implement user-defined (e.g., administrator-defined) configuration policies with respect to virtual machine and application resource utilization. In one implementation, the monitoring service can be extended to provide user-customized alerts based on various particularly defined events that occur (e.g., some memory or processing threshold) during operation of the virtual machines and/or application execution. The user can also specify particularly tailored solutions, which can include automatically reallocating physical host resources without additional user input on a given physical host, or moving/adding virtual machines on other physical hosts.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method is provided for defining interesting portions of a workflow of a business or other type of process. Using a tracking profile editor, a portion of a given workflow is selected and associated with a named process part. Items of payload data to be used in reports are selected from a message schema associated with the given workflow. A profile is generated based on the given workflow and the selected items of payload data. A tracking profile compiler receives the created tracking profile and generates a star schema, a flattened view and OLAP cube based on the tracking profile. An interceptor extracts monitored workflow events and stores event information to a tracking stream, based on the tracking profile. A tracking service extracts information pertaining to the monitored events from the tracking stream and stores the information in the queryable database. The OLAP cube and the flattened view are updated based on the information written to the queryable database.

Abstract: A system and method of remotely debugging an orchestration service instance providing a means for establishing a communications connection with a computer, wherein the computer is executing a business process service instance. Stored tracking information regarding the orchestration service instance is read, and the orchestration service instance is remotely debugged by way of the communications connection and according to the stored tracking state information.
