Publication number: 20140026002Abstract: A method associates errors by causal relationship in software systems where multiple threads share access to hardware and/or software components. Where a software object, such as a lock, is provided, a thread can place an error ID into the object if encountered while the first thread controls the object. A second thread can retrieve the error ID and associate it as a parent error for any time-out error encountered while waiting for the software object. Errors can be reported and displayed in a causal graph for determining root causes. Errors can have a severity that can facilitate the display of errors to a user. Root cause errors can be assigned the severity of the most severe of its child errors to assist a user in determining a root cause. Errors can further be displayed or masked based on the severity assigned to the errors and/or their parent or child errors.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 6, 2012Publication date: January 23, 2014Applicant: SIEMENS HEALTHCARE DIAGNOSTICS INC.Inventor: Derek Walker Haines

Publication number: 20130254602Abstract: A firmware assisted error handling scheme in a computer system has been disclosed. In one embodiment, firmware is used to access one or more hardware-specific error registers within the computer system in response to a system management interrupt (SMI) trap. Using the firmware, an error record in a common error record format is constructed. The error record is made available to an operating system (OS) within the computer system.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 9, 2013Publication date: September 26, 2013Inventors: Mohan Kumar, Sarathy Jayakumar

Publication number: 20130254601Abstract: A debugging device for a terminal electronic device includes a first connector, a second connector, a processor, and a display unit. The first connector is coupled to the terminal electronic device to receive power on self test (POST) codes. The second connector is coupled to the terminal electronic device. The processor converts the received POST codes into malfunction-indicator codes, and stores the malfunction-indicator codes. The malfunction-indicator codes are displayed on the display unit, and can be transmitted to the terminal electronic device via the second connector.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2012Publication date: September 26, 2013Applicants: HON HAI PRECISION INDUSTRY CO., LTD., Hong Fu Jin Precision Industry (ShenZhen) Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hong Fu Jin Precision Industry (ShenZhen) Co., Ltd., Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd.

Publication number: 20130254599Abstract: The failure of a specific link of a specific node of a cluster is detected, for example through the operating system of the specific node. A notification of the failure of the specific link is disseminated to the nodes of the cluster, such that the nodes receive the notification prior to learning of the link-down event from the expiration of corresponding heartbeats, and process the event in parallel. The notification of the link failure can be disseminated by broadcasting a message notifying the nodes of the failure of the specific link. The notification of the link failure can also be disseminated by transmitting the notification to a centralized computing device which is polled by the nodes of the cluster at a specific frequency for notifications of link failures.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 20, 2012Publication date: September 26, 2013Inventors: Amol Katkar, Om Prakash Agarwal, Bhavin Thaker

Patent number: 8543869Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system for reconstructing a response message to an improper accessing request in a web application environment. The method includes: obtaining the URL of a web application to be accessed by the improper accessing request and the error parameter information of the improper accessing request; obtaining a response template based on the obtained URL of the web application to be accessed; and merging the obtained error parameter information of the improper accessing request with the obtained response template to generate a reconstructed response message for the improper accessing request. The system includes: a message obtaining device; a response message template obtaining device; and a response message merging device.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2010Date of Patent: September 24, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Bo Gao, Chang Jie Guo, Lin Luo, Shun Xiang Yang, Yu Zhang
