International Classification:

G06F 9/44
G06F 9/46

US Classification:

717177, 718105

Abstract:

A system and method for application deployment in a server cluster from a central domain. The method may include assembling a set of source code and related resource files on an administration server coupled to an application repository. The method may also include compiling the set of source code and related resource files into an application and storing the application in the application repository. The application may then be deployed onto a first subset of servers in a cluster of servers and executed on the subset of servers. In one embodiment, the method may further include storing a different version of the application in the application repository and deploying the different version of the application onto a second subset of servers separate from the first subset of servers. The different version of the application may then be executed on the second subset of servers.

Abstract:

A system and method for a highly available timer service may include a timer database operable to store information on one or more timers. The system may further include a plurality of servers in a cluster, each server containing a failure detection service, a timer service and one or more applications. In one embodiment, each application may be operable to request and process one or more timer notifications from the timer service contained in the same server. Each failure detection service may also be operable to detect a failure of other servers in the cluster. In addition, each timer service may be operable to retrieve information on the one or more timers from the timer database, and to provide a timer notification to any application in the cluster in response to a notification from the failure notification service that a server has failed.

US Classification:

704/008000

Abstract:

Briefly, in accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a computer-implemented method for localizing a markup language document includes: identifying at least one token within a document and identifying a localizable string within the token. Creating a first file including a translation of the localizable string and a second file including the non-localizable data from the document. The first file and second file are then merged. Briefly, in accordance with another embodiment of the invention, an article includes: a computer-readable medium including program instructions executable to: identify at least one token within the document and identify a localizable string within the token. Create a first file including a translation of at least one localizable string and a second file including non-localizable data from the document. The first file and second file are then merged. Briefly, in accordance with still another embodiment of the invention, a first computer system including a processor and a memory storing program instructions. The processor is operable to execute the program instructions to: identify at least one token within the document and identify a localizable string within the token. Create a first file including a translation of at least one localizable string and a second file including non-localizable data from the document. The first file and second file are then merged.

International Classification:

G06F 15/173

US Classification:

709224

Abstract:

Systems and methods are disclosed to monitoring a remote object with a remote client to receive a configuration file directing the remote client to capture events of interest specified by one or more rules; a wireless network to communicate events of interest captured by the remote client; and a server coupled to the remote client over the wireless network, the server receiving events of interest from the remote client and generating a report on the events of interest.

US Classification:

714 1, 709105

Abstract:

A system and method for selectively checkpointing application components. In one embodiment this method may include deploying a plurality of application components on a server, determining checkpoint information for each application component on the server, and selectively checkpointing each component during execution of each component according to the checkpoint information for each component. In one embodiment the checkpoint information may be provided by a checkpoint selection heuristic, which makes checkpoint selections based on a description of one or more methods of the application component. In one embodiment the checkpoint information may be provided by a deployment descriptor, which may have multiple overriding tiers to facilitate precise selection of methods, components and modules for checkpointing. In one embodiment the checkpoint and activation process may include callback routines which prepare an application component for checkpointing and activation.
