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.

Travis E. Nelson - San Jose CA, US
Suraksha Vidyarthi - Fremont CA, US

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

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 Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

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 9/44

US Classification:

719331, 719332

Abstract:

A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer-usable program product for exchanging data using data transformation are provided. A first data binding component receives data from a function selector. A set of data bindings capable of invocation by the first data binding component is available. The function selector determines a content type associated with the data. The first data binding component receives the data and the content type from the function selector. The first data binding component invokes a data binding corresponding to the content type from the set of data bindings to transform the data into a data object. The data object has an object name. A target application is determined based on the object name, and the data object is then routed to a target application.

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.

International Classification:

G06F 15/173
G06F 11/00

US Classification:

709224, 709223, 714 16

Abstract:

An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for assuring delivery of an Enterprise Information System (EIS) event to a client. An adapter apparatus polls at least one EIS for an event. The event is staged to a staging table, consisting of an XA-compliant database, in preparation for delivery to the client. The status of the event is marked and the event is delivered to the client. Events delivered to clients that are unresponsive or otherwise unavailable are held until the clients become responsive and then the events are delivered. Delivery of events is confirmed using a transaction service.
