Filed:

Feb 16, 1995

Appl. No.:

08/389676

Inventors:

Ellen M. Nelson - Loveland CO
Gary G. Kiwimagi - Fort Collins CO

Assignee:

Hewlett-Packard Company - Palo Alto CA

International Classification:

G06F 950

US Classification:

709104, 709107

Abstract:

A system and method for avoiding deadlock in a non-preemptive multi-tasking application program, wherein the application program operates in an operating system that provides a non-preemptive multi-tasking environment. All components of the application program that require resources from other components within the application program, and that will not yield to internal timeslicing within the application program, are placed in separate executables (i. e. , application programs). Thus allowing maximum background processing and the avoidance of deadlock.

International Classification:

G06F 1730

US Classification:

707 1, 707 9, 345853, 715526

Abstract:

A data protection system that integrates a database with Windows Explorer in the Microsoft Windows 9X and NT Environments that mimics the Windows Explorer user interface, enabling the user to apply already known use paradigms. The data protection system appears as an extension to Windows Explorer and visibly appears as a folder item called the data vault. The data vault is a virtual disk that represents the underlying database. The database creates records and stores information about files backed up to removable secondary storage medium. Files may be backed up manually or automatically. A schedule can be set up for automatic protection of selected files and file types. The database can be searched to find files for restoration purposes without having to load secondary storage medium. Once a file or files are selected, the data protection system indicates which labeled removable secondary storage medium must be loaded for retrieval.

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709218

Abstract:

A software product tests and monitors an Internet server system. Advantageously, the software product communicates with a web browser without the need for other client software to configure transactions. The user of the web browser is guided through web pages to record, edit, and playback transactions. Recording may occur over a secure connection. The software product performs automated tests using the transactions in addition to measuring both system performance data and business performance data. The software product generates alarms when thresholds are exceeded. The test data, performance data, and alarms are correlated in time and presented graphically to the user.

International Classification:

G06F 15/173

US Classification:

709224

Abstract:

In an OSS, storing a plurality, typically less than all, of name-value pairs from a sample space and calculating a “representative” value based on values in the entire sample space. Optionally, a “remainder” value can be generated based on name-value pairs in the sample space that were not stored as part of the plurality of name-value pairs. Displays may be generated based on the top “M” name-value pairs, with “M” typically being set by the user at some number less than “M. ”.

International Classification:

H04Q 7/20

US Classification:

455457000

Abstract:

Method and apparatus for presenting data in an operations support system. In one illustrative embodiment, a user is present with a list of aspects of a network for which graphical displays are available and allowed to select an aspect for which a graphical display is desired. A default graphic is displayed based on the users selection. Thereafter, when the user performs a predetermined process, a list of available alternative graphic types and or related data sources is displayed based on the data used to generate the graphic. When the user selects an alternative graphic and or related data set from the displayed list, displaying another graphic based on the user's selection.
