Appl. No.:

09/515371

Inventors:

Windsor Wee Sun Hsu - Sunnyvale CA
Stephen Paul Morgan - San Jose CA
Shauchi Ong - San Jose CA
Honesty Cheng Young - Saratoga CA

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 1300

US Classification:

710304, 710302, 361193, 310325

Abstract:

A hot pluggable system includes an interlock between a component fail detect module and a component lock mechanism, such that the component is locked in place when it operates properly and is automatically released to permit a person to remove the component from the system when the component fails. In this way, the risk of human errors in removing the wrong component is reduced.

US Classification:

707755

Abstract:

Methods, program products, and systems implementing dynamic parsing rules are disclosed. Log data from a variety of log producers can be parsed using parsing rules to generate information about an information system. The parsing rules can include system parsing rules and custom parsing rules. A state machine can be used to detect conflicts between various parsing rules. A central server can distribute the system parsing rules and custom parsing rules to one or more remote servers for distributed processing. In a hierarchical parsing system, a first tier parser can be used to identify types of sources generating the log data. Log data from each type of log source can be sent to a second tier parser that corresponds to the type of log source.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707200000

Abstract:

A mechanism is provided that aggregates data in a way that permits data to be deleted efficiently, while minimizing the overhead necessary to support bulk deletion of data. A request is received for automatic deletion of segments in a container and a waterline is determined for the container. A determination is made if at least one segment in the container falls below the waterline. Finally, in response to one segment falling below the waterline, the segment from the container is deleted. Each object has an associated creation time, initial retention value, and retention decay curve (also known as a retention curve). At any point, based on these values and the current time, the object's current retention value may be computed. The container system continually maintains a time-varying waterline: at any point, objects with a retention value below the waterline may be deleted.

International Classification:

G06Q 10/06

Abstract:

A role action framework allows for comprehensive control of various objects, data, and behaviors within a procurement and requisitioning application. This framework can be extended to be used by various transactions. A common and central mechanism that makes a supplier relationship management application highly configurable can be provided. This mechanism can allow organizations to customize the application in a manner that is most suitable for the different types of those organizations' users. For example, using this mechanism, users having defined roles within the organization can be limited to appropriate interactions with various facets of the application, such as objects, data, and behaviors. Using the mechanism, an organization can define customized roles, and for each role, the organization can define, for each facet of the application, interactions that users assigned to that role can have relative to that facet.

International Classification:

H04L 29/08
G06F 3/06

Abstract:

A method implemented by a network element (NE) in a network, comprising composing a first network storage entity by mapping a plurality of logical storage units to a plurality of physical storage units in a physical storage system according to a first storage metric associated with the plurality of physical storage units, arranging the plurality of logical storage units sequentially to form a logical circular buffer, and designating a current logical storage unit for writing data and an upcoming logical storage unit for writing data after the current storage unit is fully written, and rebalancing the physical storage system while the physical storage system is actively performing network storage operations by relocating at least one of the logical storage units to a different physical storage unit according to a second storage metric associated with the plurality of physical storage units.

G06F 3/06

Abstract:

A method comprising receiving one or more data storage specifications from a tenant, determining that a plurality of physical storage units in a physical storage system comprises a sufficient system capacity to provision data storage for the tenant, sending a storage request message to request creation of a network storage entity for the tenant according to the data storage specifications, and receiving a storage response message indicating a first of a plurality of logical storage units allocated to the network storage entity according to the data storage specifications, wherein the plurality of logical storage units are distributed across the plurality of physical storage units, and wherein the plurality of logical storage units are arranged in a sequential order to form a logical circular buffer.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

Abstract:

A method comprising receiving a plurality of data records, storing the data records as data segments in a storage element, receiving a plurality of descriptors for each data segment, wherein each descriptor describes an aspect of data contained in the data segments, employing a first user-defined function to resolve a first minimum descriptor for each data segment and a first maximum descriptor for each data segment, composing a lightweight index for the data segments, wherein the lightweight index comprises the first minimum descriptor for each data segment and the first maximum descriptor for each data segment, and appending the lightweight index to the data segments in the storage element.
