  • Patent number: 9954936
    Abstract: Various embodiments migrate a legacy application to a multi-tenant computing environment. In one embodiment, at least one virtualized computing container is instantiated on a host system in a multi-tenant computing environment. An instance of the legacy application is executed within the virtualized computing container. The legacy application having been initially configured to run on premise and serve one tenant at a time. The virtualized computing container securely isolates the executing instance of the legacy application from other executing instances of the legacy application. At least one request received from a first client is sent to the instance of the legacy application executing within the virtualized computing container. The virtualized computing container is quiesced based on at least one quiescing criterion having been satisfied by the instance of the legacy application.

  • Publication number: 20170286190
    Abstract: A method of generating process trace clusters includes receiving a set of process traces, where a process trace is an application level event log from a computer system; receiving an identification of node types and edge types of the application event log to generate a heterogeneous information network (HIN) graph, where a temporal node type value is a difference between a current system time and a reference timestamp divided by a user chosen time granularity parameter, performing dimension reduction of the HIN to generate clusters of new event types, generating a set of meta-paths that connect nodes of a same reduced event type in the application event log, calculating similarities between process traces using the new event type clusters, and clustering the set of process traces to generate a plurality of disjoint graph models of processes in the application event log based on the clusters of new event types.

  • Publication number: 20170242737
    Abstract: At a cloud platform, a class of feed is received for an external feed corresponding to an information source, as are an instruction corresponding to a create operation for the external feed, and a dictionary input corresponding to parameters expected by the information source. The external feed produces a corresponding class of events. At the cloud platform, a handler is selected based on the received class of feed and the received create operation; the input dictionary is transferred to the handler; and the handler generates a unique destination to receive events for the class of events. The handler on the cloud platform generates a unique request to the information source to generate events of the class of feed to the unique destination and sends the request to the information source. Events generated from the information source responsive to the unique request are received at the unique destination.

  • Publication number: 20170242689
    Abstract: An action sequence including a plurality of actions and a corresponding input dictionary are obtained. A first container, running an image for a first one of the actions implemented in a first programming language, is instantiated, and the image is executed on the input dictionary to obtain a first action result; the input dictionary is then updated with the first action result to obtain an updated input dictionary. A second container, running an image for a second one of the actions implemented in a second programming language, different than the first programming language, is instantiated, and the image is executed on the updated input dictionary to obtain a second action result; the updated input dictionary is further updated with the second action result to obtain a further updated input dictionary. The input dictionaries are independent of the programming languages.

  • Patent number: 9251489
    Abstract: A previously-computed scope definition represented as at least one begin-end node pair is obtained. The at least one begin-end node pair is usable to identify all nodes and interconnection path links that are reachable in a traversal from a begin node to an end node of each of the at least one begin-end node pair of a selection of a connected directed graphical representation of a process model. A change to the process model relative to the previously-computed scope definition is identified. A type of tooling environment used to change the process model is determined. The tooling environment includes one of a fully-integrated tooling environment and a componentized tool chain tooling environment. The previously-computed scope definition is adapted into an updated process scope definition based upon the identified at least one change to the process model relative to the previously-computed scope definition and the determined type of tooling environment.
