US Classification:

Abstract:

An exemplary embodiment of the present invention is a method for affinity free restart of a resource manager in a multi-system environment. The method begins when a restart request is received from a first resource manager on a first system in the multi-system environment. The first resource manager is associated with an incomplete transaction. Next, a distributed transaction unit of recovery structure is built for the incomplete transaction. Then, the distributed transaction unit of recovery structure is sent to a transaction manager for restart processing. The restart process includes restarting the first resource manager on the first system. The restart process also includes restarting a second resource manager on a second system in the multi-system environment if the incomplete transaction is associated with the second resource manager. The second system is a different system in the multi-system environment than the first system and the second resource manager previously had a node in common with the first resource manager. Additional embodiments include a system and storage medium for affinity free restart of a resource manager in a multi-system environment.

International Classification:

G06F 9/45

US Classification:

717138

Abstract:

A method of porting code from a native platform to a non-native platform is provided which utilizes a non-native, platform-specific layer of code and a platform-neutral layer of code. The platform-neutral layer substantially emulates the native platform of ported code and provides a platform-neutral interface to the ported code. Together, the platform-specific layer and the platform-neutral layer provide an execution environment in which the ported code operates as a kernel extension of the non-native platform. The platform-neutral layer of the execution environment is portable to other non-native platforms so that code can be ported to another non-native platform by replacing the platform-specific layer with a customized platform-specific layer, which is adapted to the other non-native platform.

International Classification:

G06F 9/45

US Classification:

717136

Abstract:

A system and program product for facilitating computing-environment control of a resource to be accessed by existing program code is provided which includes transparently replacing an uncontrolled resource referenced by existing program code with a resource controlled by a computing environment. The protocol also includes transparently interposing at least one resource management service of the computing environment between the existing program code and the resource controlled by the computing environment, wherein the at least one resource management service provides computing-environment control of the resource to be accessed by the existing program code. The replacing of the uncontrolled resource prevents the existing program code from directly accessing the resource.

International Classification:

G06F 9/44

US Classification:

717170000

Abstract:

An approach for automatically ensuring compatibility of a requested code module for a program-code environment is provided in which the requested code module provides an indication of at least one compatible operating system version which can execute the requested code module. This indication is automatically compared to version information of a currently-running operating system of the program-code environment when the currently-running operating system loads the requested code module. Compatibility of the requested code module is ensured upon the automatic comparison establishing agreement between the indication and the version information of the currently-running operating system. In another aspect, when the requested code module is to be loaded in response to a request to access the requested code module, a code-module version requirement of a requesting code module is automatically compared to version information of the requested code module to ensure compatibility of the requested code module.

Abstract:

A computing system resource recovery method can include identifying a resource manager associated with a computing transaction, classifying the computing transaction to determine a predetermined metric, measuring an actual metric of the computing transaction, comparing the predetermined metric to the actual metric to detect abnormal behavior in the transaction and modeling the abnormal behavior to determine how the resource manager is affected by the abnormal behavior.
