Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for generating a unified semantic model identifying a user's intentions or goals within operating the system. By determining the intent and desires of the user, tasks and queries associated with or requested by the user can be more effectively optimized, automated, or otherwise improved. In some computing environments, multiple users access a database which includes a collection of software objects. The objects within the database can sometimes form a hierarchy, with a parent-child relationship among them. Traditionally, a developer creating the database and the objects within can only determine a user's intent based on the actions taken by the user within the database. The present solution provides the developer with a higher level model representing different users' intents based on observed data from a number of sources in addition to the user's interaction with the database.

The corresponding group deployment status indicator is included in association with the resource representation that corresponds to the resource. The user interface imagery is presented on a display device.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide a virtual topology in response to an allocation request. The virtual topology is a synchronized subgraph of the physical topology. The synchronized subgraph virtual topology mirrors the physical topology in terms of tree structure. However, merely sharing the physical topology with users/customers is not feasible, as it may reveal additional infrastructure details such as MAC addresses, IP addresses, and the like, that can compromise security and/or jeopardize multi-tenant operations. Disclosed embodiments create virtual topology structures with obfuscated node data, so that important data such as physical IP addresses and/or MAC addresses are hidden from the end-users. Thus, disclosed embodiments provide the benefits of performance enhancement that comes from sharing the topology without the downside of compromising security by revealing physical topology details.

Abstract: A technology for the optimized capturing of resource file content for resources referred in recorded user interaction sequences is disclosed. Individual resource files are typically referred in multiple recorded resources, therefore it is desired to capture those resources only once and reuse them for all recorded session capturing them. As user interaction sequences are executed and captured in independently operating web-browsers, a direct coordination between recording web-browsers to avoid multiple captures of the same resource is not possible. Data about the global resource capturing and demand situation is generated on a monitoring server that receives all session recording data and transferred to session recording browsers in form of lists identifying resources that are referred in sessions but are still unresolved and should therefore be captured, and for resources that should not captured, because they are already available and capturing them again should be avoided.
