Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to automated error processing. A computing platform may receive historical error/solution information. The computing platform may train, using the historical error/solution information, an artificial intelligence engine to automatically identify solutions for current errors for a plurality of users. The computing platform may identify current errors for a user of the plurality of users. The computing platform may notify the user of the current errors. The computing platform may receive a request to correct an error of the one or more current errors. The computing platform may identify, using the artificial intelligence engine, a solution to the error. The computing platform may automatically perform actions to achieve the solution. The computing platform may send, after performing the actions, commands directing an event processing system to process an event with which the error was associated, which may cause the event processing system to process the event.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for facilitating delivery of resources via peer-to-peer connections without requiring an intermediary signaling server. Typically, before establishing a peer-to-peer connection, peers must exchange signaling information such as their reachability over a network. Traditional systems often rely on an intermediary signaling server to act as a go-between for peers and assist in the exchange of signaling information. The present disclosure removes the need for a signaling server. Instead, peers may utilize message collections on a messaging system to exchange signaling information. A requesting peer may submit a request to access a resource to a message collection for that resource. A providing peer may obtain the request, and submit a response to a message collection for the requesting peer. Peers may continue to exchange information via the collections until a peer-to-peer connection is established.

Abstract: The multiplicity of APIs that existing in a multi-cloud environment creates significant complexity for users. It can be unclear which API call should be made for a specific layer. Also, given the different API calls used by different cloud providers, they can be easily confused. Accordingly, embodiments help to reduce this complexity and simplify multi-cloud environments from a developer/user perspective. In one or more embodiments, an API with an error and its error message are captured and used as context-based information to suggest one or more recommendations to a user about how their API call should be made (e.g., to another API, to an alternative cloud provider, or by changing syntax).

Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for maintaining message state at a message log. Messages are accumulated at a message log in accordance with a message retention policy. Any of a variety of message capture assurances can be used when capturing a message from a message producer within a message log. A message becomes visible to message consumers after the outcome of writing the message is known (either failure or success). Messages are requested using (e.g., monotonically increasing) sequence numbers. Messages are also dropped from the message log in accordance with the message retention policy.

Abstract: A system for reporting and/or displaying errors in a system that affect end-user tasks includes mechanisms for gathering, interpreting and displaying application status information in a convenient display. In one implementation, for example, distributed application programs in a system are configured to provide status reports (e.g., positive, negative, pending) to a centralized reporting service. The centralized service stores the status information in a database. An event interpreter module queries the database to identify the status of certain application components that affect or otherwise implicate performance of generalized end-user tasks, such as sending/receiving email, logging-in to the network, accessing the internet, remote computer management, or the like.

Abstract: The invention provides a system management apparatus for a multi-shelf modular computing system. The system management apparatus receives and parses an alert information in response to an abnormal parameter/state relative to a component of the multi-shelf modular computing system sent from a shelf management device of the multi-shelf modular computing system, and stores the parsed alert information into a storage module. Then, the system management apparatus periodically retrieves the parsed alert information, if any, from the storage module and generates a visual alert information indicating the abnormal parameter/state. Thereby, a user can view the visual alert information to perceive the abnormal parameter/state rapidly and intuitively, so as to take corresponding measures.

Abstract: A user interface component receives an input error message. A query enhancer component derives error messages from the input error messages using error pattern(s) representative of the input error message and error sub-pattern(s) of the error pattern(s). A result aggregator component inputs each error message to search engines, receives search results, aggregates the search results, and provides the search results to the user interface. The enhancer component may include a pattern composer component to locate error patterns representative of the input error message, and a sub-pattern generator component to derive error sub-patterns from the error patterns. The aggregator component may determine whether the search results are in agreement with a predetermined criterion. If not, the aggregator component may request the enhancer component to provide additional error messages to input to the search engines.

Abstract: Software intended to operate in a clustered environment can be tested for appropriate failover behavior through the use of an automated tool which allows failover to be simulated without requiring that the application be deployed in a cluster environment and observing the effects of actual failover. Such an automated tool can measure the characteristics of one or more session objects created by the application and provide appropriate messages for a developer when those characteristics indicate improper coding for failover.
