Abstract: A solution is proposed for controlling access to computing resources. A corresponding method comprises receiving and verifying an access request for accessing the computing resources by a secondary computing environment (isolated from the computing resources). A main computing environment (isolated from the secondary computing environment) detects an indication of a positive result of the verification of the access request; in response thereto, the main computing environment verifies an integrity condition of the secondary computing environment and then authorizes the secondary computing environment to access the computing resources accordingly. A computer program and a computer program product for performing the method are also proposed. Moreover, a system for implementing the method is proposed.

Abstract: A middleware, for providing an interconnection between heterogeneous applications, receives a first HTTP POST request that includes a header and a body. Then, the middleware creates a HTTP GET request using the header. The middleware establishes a secure connection with an authorization server, and submits the HTTP GET request to the authorization server asynchronously. The middleware receives a response to the HTTP GET request regarding a validation of identifiers in a query string of the HTTP GET request, and decrypts a username and a password using the identifiers in response to the identifiers located in the authorization server. The middleware serializes an output of the decrypted username and the decrypted password in a Java Script Object Notation (JSON) format, and places the output in a body of a second HTTP POST request. The middleware responds the second HTTP POST request to a data server.

Abstract: Embodiments may facilitate event processing for an ABAP platform. A business object data store may include a RAP model, including a behavior definition, for a business object. A framework may automatically transform the behavior definition of the RAP model into a producer event vian event binding and a cloud event standardized format. Information about the producer event may then be passed to an ABAP application associated with a pre-configured destination at an enterprise business technology platform. In some embodiments, a standalone API enterprise hub data store may contain an event specification. An ABAP development tenant of a business technology platform may automatically parse the event specification and translate the parsed information into high-level programming language structures that reflect an event type at runtime. An event consumption model may then be generated based on the event type.

Abstract: Server-specified subscription filters for long-lived client requests to fetch data in response to events. In one aspect, the techniques encompass a method performed by a set of one or more computing devices. The method includes the step of receiving a long-lived request to fetch data in response to events sent by a client computing device. The method further includes receiving a server-specified subscription filter for the long-lived request and executing the long-lived request. Executing the long-lived request includes creating a persistent function that uses the server-specified subscription filter to map a source event stream to a response event stream. The response event stream is provided to the client computing device. The server-specified subscription filter facilitates filtering of events fetched for the long-lived request in a way that may not be possible or impractical if the subscription client were required to specify the filter in the long-lived request.

Abstract: Described herein are techniques for integrating external sensors to an edge device, such as for ingesting data into a data intake and query system. The edge device has an internal message broker for communicating with internal (e.g., preconfigured, recognized) sensors, and an external message broker for communicating with external (e.g., customer-configured, otherwise unrecognized) sensors. The external message broker provides access to customer configuration of external sensors, but is logically quarantined from the internal message broker to prevent unwanted customer access to internal configurations.

The transformed data can be handled by the edge device and/or downstream components (e.g., a data intake and query system) in the same manner as internal sensor data.

Based at least in part on the anticipated item status for the first item, a prediction value is determined that corresponds to a recommended amount of the first item to request for a future time.

Abstract: A GraphQL server stores schemas for GraphQL APIs in a schema store, the schemas defining operations, types and fields of the APIs. Field resolvers are associated with the fields of the APIs to specify which of the data source is to be used to fulfill an API query request.

Responsive to receiving an API request, it is determined whether the request has any field names that do not match the corresponding schema, and if so, the old field name is replaced with the new field name in the request.
