Abstract: Deployment assurance services Accelerators (“DAS Accelerators”) include audit functionality that performs a sequential audit of each server listed in a customer's server list from customer's target environment. And artificial intelligence engine (“AI engine”) scans each server to match all required Include entries, which enables categories of product specific checks. Checks for each product category are processed sequentially, including database specific checks. All database platforms can be configured to connect on custom\nonstandard ports, using unique credentials. After each server audit is completed, the audit results are outputted to an encrypted file, a csv or database, depending on how the execution was configured by the customer. Audits review hardware, software, registry, integration and configuration details from customer servers for, e.g., the purpose of validating fitness for use. Various validation and environment reports are generated based on the audit results.

Abstract: An apparatus for releasably clamping an elongated flexible member is provided. This clamping apparatus includes body defining at least one passage therethrough. A clamping member is operatively associated with the body member such that a portion of the clamping member can be selectively moved into and out of the passage. Juxtaposed clamping surfaces on the clamping member and the body converge and diverge as the clamping member is moved into and out of the passage. An actuator member extends from the clamping member and is operable for causing the clamping member to move into and out of the passage to engage and disengage the flexible elongated member therein. A locking mechanism is utilized to releasably fix the clamping member in one of a plurality of engaged positions.
