Abstract: The subject technology provides embodiments for providing an index of source code repositories isolated to HTTP request parameters. By fingerprinting specific actions involving HTTP requests, such actions can be traced to specific source code files, and in some cases an exact line of code. The end result is that a webpage and any action on that webpage can be traced back to the exact line of source code that is accepting that request. This will allow the ability to find a software defect or security vulnerability while looking at a running application and then map it back directly to the line of code that needs to be modified.

Abstract: Technical solutions are described for facilitating a first computer program product to communicate with a second computer program product.

The solutions described herein initiate a record corresponding to the API function and invoke an interpreter that calls the API function in the second programming language. Upon receiving, from the interpreter, an indication that the API function has completed execution, result of the execution are obtained from the record and returned to the first computer program product.

Abstract: A compound application that is operated across multiple devices using constituent transformation chains associated with multiple devices. Dependencies are identified between different transformation chain classes. Devices are also identified along with their associated instance of a transformation chain class. Upon determining that the transformation chain instances associated with different devices are to be joined, data is permitted to flow between the various devices in accordance with the identified dependences between their respective classes of the associated transformation chain instances, and in accordance with dependency state between the instances. Thus, a compound transformation chain is formed. As devices exit the environment, the associated transformation chain instances may be removed from the compound transformation chain. Thus, rather than devices having interoperating applications, the devices become mutually engaged with the same compound application.

Abstract: A method and/or computer program product locally manages configuration item (CI) information on CI systems. A request is received for authorized CI information that describes an authorized change to be made to a particular CI system.

Abstract: The illustrative embodiment of the present invention provides a platform that enables a content developer to distribute uniform content to multiple types of requesting mobile devices. By authoring content in a generic markup language and using the technologies included in the Mobile Content Framework (MCF), the content developer is able to provide content to multiple types devices without providing different versions of the content. The content may be authored originally in the generic markup language or translated from other languages into the generic markup language by the MCF. The MCF exploits the capabilities and accommodates the limitations of different types of wireless devices by converting generic markup language content to device-specific content. The MCF interacts with device registries holding records of the device attributes in order to provide the device-specific content. The MCF handles these issues for current mobile devices while also being extensible for future mobile devices.

Abstract: Techniques for common users and roles, and commonly-granted privileges and roles are described. In one approach, the DBMS of a container database allows for the creation of common roles and common users that are shared across the container database. Thus, when a common role or a common user is established, the common role or common user is propagated to each database of the container database. In another approach, the DBMS of a container database allows privileges and roles to be granted commonly or locally. When a privilege or role is granted commonly, the privilege applies in each of the databases of a container database. When a privilege or role is granted locally, the privilege applies only in the database to which the grantor of the privilege or role established a connection.

Abstract: In a shared storage system for supporting virtual machines, virtual machine images are opportunistically migrated between logical storage units to free up physical storage units and achieve better storage hardware resource utilization and reduced power consumption by powering down freed-up physical storage units. The destination for the opportunistic migration of a virtual machine is selected based on the extent to which the physical storage units are shared between the logical storage unit in which the virtual image is currently stored and the destination. In situations where the demand for storage hardware resources increases, the powered-down physical storage units may be opportunistically powered up to meet the increased demand.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for improving the speed and accuracy of analytics on big data using theta sketches, by converting fixed-size sketches to theta sketches, and by performing set operations on sketches. In a technique for performing a set operation, two sketches are analyzed to identify the maximum value of each sketch. The maximum values of the two sketches are compared. Based the comparison, one or more values are removed from the sketch whose maximum value is greater. After the removal, a set operation (e.g., union, intersection, or difference) is performed based on the modified sketch and the unmodified sketch. A result of the set operation is a third sketch, which may be used to estimate a cardinality of the larger data sets that are represented by the two input sketches.
