Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707702

Abstract:

Provided are a method, system, and article of manufacture for generating from application modifications commands to modify the objects in a repository. An input object including an update to at least one of a plurality of objects in a repository object is received. At least one maintain property associated with at least one of the objects is received. The at least one maintain property indicates whether to maintain the at least one object associated with the maintain property in the repository object that is not indicated in the input object. A determination is made of an object in the repository object that are not indicated in the input object. For the determined object, the maintain property associated with the determined object is used to determine whether to maintain the determined object in the repository object.

International Classification:

H04J 3/16

US Classification:

370346, 711114

Abstract:

An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for implementing failover in a polling adapter without support from an application server. A priority list is stored as part of an adapter configuration that specifies the server names that will participate in a group cluster. Adapters associated with the servers, in addition to accessing the event table when active, access a failover table which contains information about which adapter is currently active and when it last polled the event table. When a preconfigured failover interval has elapsed since the last poll of the event table by the active adapter, a next highest priority takes over the processing duties by polling the event table and logging its last poll time in the failover table.

International Classification:

G06F 7/00

US Classification:

707793

Abstract:

An apparatus, system, and method for providing command manager support for pluggable data formats. The present invention accepts arbitrary hierarchical input data structures even when the hierarchical input data structure represents hierarchical data in a structure independent of a specific type of data repository. A data mediator receives a hierarchical input data structure and determines whether if it is a snapshot structure or a delta structure. If it is a snapshot update, the command manager creates an in-memory map object structure populated with values from a data repository and compares it with the snapshot. Based on the comparison, it generates a DESPI hierarchical command structure in a format-specific mediation module, and the commands are executed in the data repository. If the hierarchical input data structure is a delta structure, the command manager generates a hierarchical command structure and then translates it to a DESPI-compliant command structure. The commands are then executed in the data repository.

International Classification:

G06F 9/54
G06F 15/173

US Classification:

719318, 709224

Abstract:

An apparatus and method for improving event delivery efficiency in a polling adapter system is configured to poll an enterprise information system (EIS) to obtain a list of events occurring in the EIS. Each event may be associated with an object key. These events may then be allocated to multiple delivery lists wherein events associated with the same object key are allocated to the same delivery list. Multiple delivery threads may then be generated, with each delivery thread being associated with a delivery list. Each delivery thread is configured to retrieve, from the EIS, events listed in the delivery list associated with the thread and deliver the events to a client.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

719328, 707705

Abstract:

A servlet for enabling communications between a client having an Atom feed reader and an Enterprise Information System (EIS). The servlet enables communications between the client and the EIS by acting as a proxy for an J2CA resource adapter deployed on an application server. The servlet receives HTTP requests from the Atom feed reader and translates those requests into appropriate adapter function calls based on the specified HTTP function and the provided key information. The servlet then invokes the appropriate functions and receives the response from the adapter. If a single object is returned by the adapter, the servlet translates the object into Atom-compliant XML and transmits it to the Atom feed reader as the response. If multiple objects are returned, the servlet generates a list of URLs which uniquely specify and identify each object returned by the adapter and provides this list to the Atom feed reader.

International Classification:

G06F 3/00

US Classification:

719328

Abstract:

An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for providing seamless multiple format metadata abstraction. A metadata application programming interface (API) is provided to abstract metadata from an incoming business object and provide it to an adapter for processing. The metadata API is configured to operate on multiple metadata formats such as SDO and JavaBean such that the adapter receives the metadata from the metadata API in a common format that is compatible with the adapter. In this manner, the multiple metadata formats may be plugably used with the adapter.

US Classification:

707758, 707759, 707760

Abstract:

A computer program product comprises a computer useable medium. The computer useable medium has a computer readable program such that when the computer readable medium is executed on a computer, the computer is caused to receive a request from a database driver that is compatible with a software application. The request is in a database language format. Further, the computer is caused to parse the request. In addition, the computer is caused to convert the request into an intermediary data format. The computer is also caused to provide the request in the intermediary data format to a common client interface builder that reformats the request into a format that is compatible with a system resource adapter and invokes the system resource adapter with the reformatted request.

Abstract:

A computer program product comprises a computer useable medium. The computer useable medium has a computer readable program such that when the computer readable medium is executed on a computer, the computer is caused to provide a data interface between an adapter component and one or more application interface components for a runtime application. Further, the computer is caused to establish a cursor that iterates over a plurality of data objects within a data set of the runtime application. In addition, the computer is caused to establish an accessor that provides access to a data element of the data object. The computer is also caused to provide the cursor and the accessor to the adapter component so that the adapter component accesses data through the one or more application interface components of the runtime application.
