摘要:
Methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture for determining and managing the impact, or probable impact, of electronic-mail messages on computer resources. In one embodiment, prior to sending a first electronic mail message to a plurality of intended recipients over a network, a prospective impact of the first electronic mail message on computer resources on the network should the first electronic mail message be sent is determined.

A method, apparatus, system, and signal-bearing medium that in an embodiment count the number of times that a file or registry entry is added, changed, or deleted at clients in a network. If the count exceeds a threshold, then a warning is sent to the clients. The warning may prompt the clients to delete or rename the file or registry entry, run an anti-virus program, quarantine the file or registry entry, or issue a message. In this way, viruses may be detected at clients.
摘要:
A facility is provided for dynamically adjusting operating level of server processing within a computing environment including one or more servers processing multiple types of server tasks. The facility includes, responsive to detection of a failure at a server of the environment, determining a situational severity threshold for continued computing environment task processing, and automatically comparing the threshold against priority metrics for the multiple types of server tasks processed within the environment. Server processing of one or more types of server tasks having a priority metric below the situational severity threshold is then automatically blocked. The facility can also include dynamically adjusting of at least one priority metric associated with at least one type of server task to reflect a cause of the failure of the server, wherein the dynamically adjusting occurs prior to the automatic comparing of the situational severity threshold against the priority metrics.

A facility is provided for transitioning a database service from a failing, primary server to another server of a computing environment including a plurality of servers, at least some of which have a common database service capability, but not commonly replicated supporting databases. The facility includes, responsive to detection of failure at the primary server, selecting another server of the plurality of servers to function as database service backup for the primary server, updating at least one configuration file of the computing environment to indicate that the another server is to function as database service backup for the primary, failing server, and dynamically creating at least one database structure at the another server. The dynamically created at least one database structure supports the database service backup function at the another server and corresponds to a database structure of a database supporting the database service at the primary server.
