Abstract:
An event notification method for distributed processing systems provides remote and local node event notification in systems that require local registration of an event consumer in order produce an event notifications. To provide notification of an event occurring on a remote node, either event consumers on all nodes in the cluster register locally to receive event notifications and specify that the event is a cluster event, in which case the nodes send notification of their locally-occurring events to all nodes, or remote registrations are accepted at nodes and if a local consumer for the event is not present, a listener thread registers as an event consumer. The listener thread sends the event notifications to the remote nodes registered as consumers for the event by observing communication between the event producer and the local consumer, or receiving the event notifications directly if there is no local consumer.
Abstract:
An event notification system for distributed processing systems provides for replacement of event identifiers associated with transient objects, such as processes within the processing system. An event management interface receives a notification from an event producer that an identifier of an event produced by the event producer is no longer valid. The event management interface blocks event notification for the event and dissociates an event registration entry associated with the event from the event identifier. A new event identifier is received from the event producer by the event management interface, which associates the registration entry with the new event identifier. Event notification for the event is then resumed.
Abstract:
An event notification system for distributed processing systems provides reduction of queue space and event processing bandwidth associated with duplicate events such as a particular event that is duplicated and results in multiple event notifications propagated for multiple consumers. When a duplicate event notification is received at an input to an event notification queue, rather than queuing the duplicate event notification, a sequence number of the event notification already in the queue is updated to indicate to the event consumer, exactly how many duplicate events have been received. The timestamp of the updated event notification may also be set to the timestamp of the most recently received duplicate event notification.
Abstract:
A method, system, and program are provided for managing a response to an email by a hidden email recipient. A hidden recipient manager detects a request to respond to an electronic communication by a hidden recipient of that electronic communication from among a plurality of recipients of the electronic communication. The hidden recipient detects whether the request to respond is addressed to at least one recipient other than a sender of the electronic communication. If the request to respond is addressed to at least one recipient other than a sender of the electronic communication, then the hidden recipient manager warns the hidden recipient that the request to respond is addressed to at least one recipient who is unaware of the recipient of the electronic communication by the hidden recipient.
Abstract:
A computer implemented method, a tangible computer storage medium, and a data processing system provide high availability support for virtual machines in a logical partitioned platform. A monitoring system detect a failure in the virtual machine. Partition management firmware then restarts the virtual machine in a consistency failover image node utilizing a consistency failover image. If a subsequent failure of the virtual machine is detected within a predetermined time, partition management firmware restarts the virtual machine in a boot failover image node utilizing a boot failover image.
Abstract:
A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for restarting pseudo terminal streams. In one embodiment, a device associated with a file descriptor in a set of file descriptors is opened. The set of file descriptors are identified in checkpoint data for restarting the pseudo terminal streams. In response to identifying the device as a pseudo terminal slave device, an entry for the identified pseudo terminal slave device is added to a list of open pseudo terminal slave devices. The entry for the identified pseudo terminal slave device is marked as an open pseudo terminal slave device. The list of open pseudo terminal slave devices permit pseudo terminal master devices and pseudo terminal slave devices to be restored and restarted in random order during a restart of the pseudo terminal streams.
Abstract:
According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a method and technique is disclosed for maintaining a network connection during transfer of the workload from a global environment of a logical partition to a workload partition of the logical partition and during any subsequent transfer(s).
Abstract:
Migrating a workload partition (WPAR) is provided. Responsive to receiving a request to checkpoint the WPAR, a list of virtual identifiers used by the WPAR to refer to IPC objects is generated and stored. Each virtual identifier corresponds to an IPC object and to a real identifier used by a kernel that corresponds to the IPC object. IPC object data and control information is collected and stored. Each process in the WPAR stores per process data. Responsive to receiving a request to restart the WPAR, the virtual identifier that the WPAR wants to be used is registered. A new IPC object is created by a kernel. The kernel maps a real identifier used by the kernel for the new IPC object to the registered virtual identifier. The restart process retrieves IPC data and control information and overlays it on the new IPC object. The per process data is restored.
Abstract:
A portable screen assembly includes a first side support and a second sides support, where the first side support and the second side support are connected to a fabric. The portable screen assembly also includes a center support brace connected to the fabric. A first support leg extends downward from the first side support and the a second support leg extends downward from the second side support. A motorized portable screen assembly includes a fabric, a first side support, a second side support, and a center support assembly. The fabric is connected to the first side support and the second side support. An expandable support brace is connected to the first side support, the second side support, and the center support assembly. An automatic deployment mechanism is connected to the expandable support brace, and the automatic deployment mechanism drives the expandable support brace to open in a horizontal direction.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a computer implemented method for communicating a signature in a received email. Initially, a server receives a source email from a source client, the source email comprising a signature index entry, and a body. The server determines for a first recipient that a first associated destination client is capable of rendering a signature of the signature index entry in response to a selection of an indexed signature. The server, responsive to a determination that the destination client is capable of rendering the signature index entry, forwards the source email to the first recipient as a delivered email using the body of the source email such that an indexed signature is present in the body of the delivered email. In addition, a method for generating a signature header is shown that provides a many to one correspondence between indexed signatures and a signature index entry.
