Abstract

For a communication channel having a first endpoint in a customer on-premise network and a second endpoint on a primary host machine in a cloud service provider infrastructure, the primary host machine determines a change in a state information of the communication channel and identifies a backup host machine for the communication channel. The primary host machine causes the change in the state information to be replicated to the backup host machine, wherein the replicated state information stored by the backup host machine is usable by the backup host machine after a failover causes the backup host machine to become the second endpoint of the communication channel.

Abstract

A method, involving placing code on a first device, wherein the code is associated with a code position, accessing properties associated with a second device, wherein the second device is detected by the first device, and transferring the code to the second device, if criteria based on a current position and properties of the second device, and the code position are met.

Abstract

In one embodiment, a method for handling subtasks within a business task includes providing a plurality of user interfaces (UIs) pertaining to the business task having at least one subtask step. The subtask step has a subtask defined within the business task by an intermediate user to reuse a portion of another business task. The method further includes allowing an end user to navigate back and forth through the plurality of UIs.

Abstract

In one embodiment, a method for providing a transient data facility for database applications includes creating a definition of transient data that corresponds to a unit of work to be performed by an application, and mapping the definition of transient data to a temporary storage table. The method further includes storing the transient data in the temporary storage table while the application performs the unit of work spanning one or more user sessions, and deleting the transient data after the application completes the unit of work.

Abstract

In an embodiment, estimated costs are used to pick the best refresh technique (e.g., method) for a given MV. In another embodiment, estimated costs are used to schedule the refresh of a set MVs in an order such that overall time to refresh is reduced, or in an order that uses the smallest overall time, for refreshing when compared to other alternative refresh schedules. In another embodiment, the estimated cost of refreshing each of a set of MVs is used to select the set of CPU resources to allocate to refreshing each MV. Based on the estimated costs, the allocation of CPU resources is chosen to be more optimal (e.g., use less CPU time) than other available sets of CPU resources. In an embodiment, when refreshing an MV, delayed index maintenance is chosen if a significant portion of the base table and/or the partitions of the table has changed.

Abstract

A computerized management system is provided. The system includes a routine
(106) for accessing journal entries stored in a memory and an automated
journal entry generating routine for generating journal entries for a first
set-of-books (110) and for a second set-of-books (114) based on the accessed
journal entries. The journal entries for the first set-of-books are in
accordance with a first reporting standard and the journal entries for the
second set-of-books are in accordance with a second, different reporting
standard.
