  • Patent number: 8931055
    Abstract: A method and system for managing privilege information across multiple applications and/or databases is provided. A flexible and extensible enterprise entitlement framework may be implemented to store and manage various types of privileges, access rights and resources. The enterprise entitlement framework may include a variety of data objects and structures configured to store various components and/or aspects of a privilege. The data objects may include resource type objects, user objects, role objects, action objects, resource attribute objects, list item object and/or hierarchy objects. The data objects defined for a particular privilege may further be linked according to relationships between one or more objects. The enterprise entitlement framework is extensible for use with new applications by defining new objects compatible with the privilege structures of the new applications.

  • Patent number: 8930650
    Abstract: Systems and methods for identification of data stored in memory are provided. A data packet is received and a first packet byte within the data packet is compared to a first memory byte within a memory. A mismatch is determined between the first packet byte and the first memory byte. A memory location is accessed that contains a second memory byte that is non-consecutive with the first memory byte. A packet location accessed that contains a second packet byte that is non-consecutive with the first packet byte. The second packet byte is compared to the second memory byte. A retrieval instruction is generated based at least in part on a result of the comparison between the second packet byte and the second memory byte. Various embodiments may be included in a network memory architecture to allow for faster data matching and instruction generation in a central appliance.

A data packet is received and a first packet byte within the data packet is compared to a first memory byte within a memory. A mismatch is determined between the first packet byte and the first memory byte. A memory location is jumped to that contains a second memory byte that is non-consecutive with the first memory byte. A packet location is jumped to that contains a second packet byte that is non-consecutive with the first packet byte. The second packet byte is compared to the second memory byte.

  • Patent number: 8214461
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a method of processing a request by a server computer system begins with a step of receiving an object. The object comprises the request, an exception criterion, and a recovery operation. The method continues with a step of determining that the server computer system is unable to fulfill the request due to an exception which meets the exception criterion. The method concludes with a step of applying the recovery operation to resolve the exception. In an embodiment, the server computer system comprises a resource management system for a shared computing environment and the object comprises a resource request object. The resource request object comprises a resource request, the exception criteria, and the recovery operation. The resource request indicates resources requested from the shared computing environment by a start time and for a time period.

  • Patent number: 7987470
    Abstract: Converting heavyweight instances to lightweight instances is disclosed. An indication is received to convert one or more heavyweight instances to corresponding one or more lightweight instances. One or more sharable parent instances is/are created. One or more lightweight instances is/are created. For each lightweight instance, one of the one or more sharable parent instances is/are designated as a parent to create a lightweight composite instance. Each of at least a subset of the one or more sharable parent instances is shared by two or more lightweight instances. And, the created lightweight composite instances are configured to provide the functionality provided by the one or more heavyweight instances.

  • Patent number: RE43375
    Abstract: A system for communications in a distributed computing environment is provided that includes an application layer (132), a proxy layer (134), a reference layer (136), and an object layer (138). The application layer (132) provides communications between an application (108) and an operating entity. The proxy layer (134) provides communications between the application (108) and a remote proxy (154). The remote proxy (154) is a local representative for a requested object (110) residing in an address space different from an address space in which the application (108) resides. The reference layer (136) provides communications between the remote proxy (154) and the requested object (110). The reference layer (136) includes communication protocol details to support transmission of messages across a network (106) linking the remote proxy (154) and the requested object (110). The object layer (138) includes the requested object (110).

  • Patent number: RE43905
    Abstract: A system, method and carrier medium for modeling a Financial Service Organization (FSO) business in a computer software program and for storing the model of the FSO business in a database. An object-oriented business model representing the FSO may be created and stored in a business model database. The one or more business objects included in the business model may be configured to describe various products, methods, functions and properties associated with an FSO. A process map business object may describe a process workflow. The process workflow may identify a sequence of tasks to be performed by an FSO production system to process an FSO transaction. The sequence of tasks associated with an FSO transaction may be consistent with pre-defined business logic for the transaction. Selecting a task object from a plurality of task objects and transferring the task object to a process map display representing the process map business object may create the process workflow.
