  • Publication number: 20200059533
    Abstract: A computer system including program instructions to receive a message at a source gateway of the local network, the message includes message data corresponding to a plurality of message elements, assign a unique group ID based on the type of message received at the source gateway, extract a message format from the received message, the message format defines how the message data is organized with respect to the message elements, and associate the extracted message format with the unique group ID. The computer system further including program instructions to store locally, the extracted message format together with the associated unique group ID, establish a dedicated connection between the source gateway and a target gateway of the remote network based on the unique group ID, encode the message based on the extracted message format, and send the encoded message from the source gateway to the target gateway across the dedicated connection.

  • Publication number: 20200012716
    Abstract: At least one XML document to be validated is parsed, and XML data in the at least one XML document is represented as data objects in at least one data object model in a memory. At least one rule document is parsed and a rule object model that includes rule objects is created in the memory. At least part of the data objects are extracted from the at least one data object model and at least part of rule objects are extracted from the rule object model. Partial validation is performed in a corresponding execution context that validates the extracted at least part of the data objects based upon the extracted at least part of the rule objects.

  • Patent number: 10528586
    Abstract: A database processing system includes a coordinator agent controller and a virtual node data base. The coordinator agent controller detects a request to access a database by an application program and to extracts database objects from a database protocol stream based on a requirement requested by the application program. The virtual node database is generated according to the extracted database objects. The virtual node database includes memory dump storage that stores the database objects extracted from the database protocol stream, and based on the database objects the virtual node database generates virtual database objects corresponding to the database protocol stream. The extraction of database objects is performed directly on the database protocol stream without communicating with a target real database.

  • Publication number: 20190386956
    Abstract: A port listening request dynamically generated by an application process hosted in a container can be identified. Whether the application process hosted in the container is trusted can be determined. Responsive to determining that the application process hosted in the container is trusted, a first port to be used as an external port for the application process can be dynamically selected, and a port assignment can be communicated to a container engine, the port assignment indicating the first port is assigned to the application process. The first port can be mapped to a second port assigned as an internal port for the application process. The first port can be opened for the application process.

  • Publication number: 20190370057
    Abstract: Managing service container dependency is provided. A notification that a first service container is running on a host environment is received. It is determined whether the first service container is dependent on a second service container being up and running on the host environment. In response to determining that the first service container is dependent on a second service container being up and running on the host environment, it is determined whether the second service container is running on the host environment. In response to determining that the second service container is not running on the host environment, service requests from the first service container to the second service container are responded to using stub data that corresponds to the second service container.

  • Patent number: 10489402
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for receiving a database query and executing the query against a remote database. The database query is used to generate an execution sequence comprising HTTP requests and data processing operations based on the database query. The HTTP requests are sent to a RESTful API provided by a database system. The HTTP requests are executed by the database system against a database, and the responses from the database system are returned to be processed according to the data processing operations. Finally, a set of query results is returned to the sender of the original database query.

  • Publication number: 20190310978
    Abstract: Provided are techniques for supporting a join operation against multiple NoSQL databases. A search request with a field and a value for the field is received, wherein the search request is to be issued against a plurality of database divisions formed from NoSQL databases. A simple database search is performed against a structured index to generate a first result set. An extended database search is performed against a linear database division index to generate a second result set by: identifying a relationship for the field that identifies related fields and identifying documents for the field and the related fields using a linear database division index. The first result set and the second result set are merged to form a merged result set of documents. The documents from the merged result set are displayed in response to the search request.

  • Patent number: 10362052
    Abstract: Determining a data security risk level of a virtual database is provided. An object catalog corresponding to a real database is imported into the virtual database. Objects in the object catalog are organized by levels. It is determined whether one or more data security policy definitions corresponding to a set of objects referenced by test query message traffic performed an action in response to determining that one or more test query messages in the test query message traffic run on the virtual database did not satisfy respective parameters of the one or more data security policy definitions. In response to determining that one or more of the data security policy definitions corresponding to the set of objects referenced by the test query message traffic did not perform the action, a test failure result is returned. A data security risk level for the virtual database is determined based on the result.

  • Publication number: 20190207901
    Abstract: An approach is provided in which a system receives a first meme sent from a first user that is targeted to a second user. The system transforms the first meme into a second meme based on analyzing the first meme against a first user profile data corresponding to the first user and a second user profile data corresponding to the second user. The transforming includes replacing at least one element of the first meme with a second element in the second meme. The system, in turn, sends the transformed second meme to the second user.

  • Publication number: 20190179619
    Abstract: A processor within a networked distributed drafting platform generates a public key-value context file that includes initial default key-value mappings between keywords and values for use in a distributed drafting project. Refined project-level key-value mappings are elected by considering differences between the initial default key-value mappings and personal key-value mappings within a set of distributed personal key-value context files each maintained by different drafters of the distributed drafting project. The initial default key-value mappings of the public key-value context file are updated with the elected refined project-level key-value mappings within the networked distributed drafting platform.
