    Abstract: A method and implementing system protects sensitive data dump information. The method comprises using a processor receiving a dump file (DF) associated with an application. The method further comprises allocating user classification profiles defining security access levels to different regions of the DF and encrypting a first encrypted region that is a proper subset of the different regions using a first encryption key associated with a first user classification profile of the user classification profiles to produce an encrypted DF (EDF). The method further comprises determining a first user to be a member of the first user classification profile, and providing access to the EDF and a first decryption key useable to decrypt the first encrypted region to the first user.

  • Publication number: 20210240516
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to methods, systems, and computer program products for distributed transaction management. In a method, a first transaction is performed, where both a first data in a first application system and a second data in a second application system are to be accessed in the first transaction. A second transaction is identified in response to a determination that the second data in the second application system fails to be accessed in the first transaction, the first data in the first application system being accessed in the second transaction during performing the first transaction. A value of the first data is determined based on status of the first transaction and status of the second transaction.

  • Patent number: 11030074
    Abstract: A method and associated computer system. A first machine executes machine code in a debugging session on the first machine. The machine code had been previously received by the first machine from a second machine. The machine code includes machine executable instructions. The machine code was generated from compilation of source code developed and compiled on the second machine. In response to a change in the machine code having detected by the first machine in the debugging session on the first machine, the first machine determines a portion of the source code associated with the change in the machine code based on a profile. The profile indicates a mapping between the source code and the machine code. The first machine, while communicating with the second machine, causes the portion of the source code to be updated on the second machine based on the change in the machine code.
