摘要:
A method for auditing and verifying configuration items (CIs) in an information technology (IT) configuration management database (CMDB) includes identifying which configuration item (CI) types should be part of an audit, defining link rules to link an authorized CI type stored in a CMDB to an actual CI type that is part of an IT infrastructure, retrieving all authorized CI instances of the identified CI types from the CMDB, retrieving all actual CI instances of the identified CI types from a discovery upload of a current IT environment, comparing the actual CI instances to the authorized CI instances, and taking remedial action when variances are discovered.
摘要:
A method for facilitating compliance testing in an environment is provided. The method includes defining each component as a set of attribute value pairs represented as a configuration item (CI) and defining relationships among the CIs. Configuration Standards for the CIs are defined to include scope identifying CIs to which the Configuration Standards apply and restrictions defining requirements for compliance. Compliance testing is performed for components against a selected Configuration Standards by determining, depending on the scope and the restrictions of each of the selected Configuration Standards, which of the components within the scope of the selected Configuration Standards fails to meet the restrictions of respective ones of the selected Configuration Standards; and by outputting results as a list, which includes each of the components that failed to meet respective ones of the selected Configuration Standards.
摘要:
Methods and apparatus for managing a configuration management database is provided. One or more composite CIs in the CMDB are utilized as fundamental units for change history management of elements of the CMDB. Each of the one or more composite CIs comprise at least one root element.
摘要:
Methods and apparatus of managing a CMDB are provided. At least one composite CI is utilized in the CMDB. The at least one composite CI is represented as a graph of navigable relationships between one or more supporting elements in accordance with a template. The one or more supporting elements comprise at least a root element of the composite CI.

Methods and apparatus of automatically creating composite configuration items in a configuration management database are provided. A plurality of configuration items and a corresponding plurality of configuration item relationships are provided to the configuration management database. One or more composite configuration items are created from one or more of the plurality of configuration items in accordance with one or more types of the plurality of configuration items.

In a method for selecting a worker to whom to suggest a task, a set of workers is selected initially, each having LCS and RSC values derived from prior performances of the task. A game score is acquired for each worker, wherein each game score is a measurement of the level of a cognitive aptitude which is needed to perform the task. A given worker of the initial set is placed into a task performance candidate set, only if the game score of the given worker is no less than the LCS of the given worker. The method further comprises selectively processing data provided collectively by the LCS and the RSC of each worker in the candidate set, in order to select one of the workers in the candidate set to whom to recommend the specified task.
摘要:
Methods and arrangements for quantitatively modeling service processes. A process is assimilated, the process comprising at least one step. At least one quantitative metric with respect to the process is estimated, and at least one mashup pattern applicable to the process is determined, the at least one mashup pattern comprising at least one mashup pattern applicable to at least one process step. The determining includes recalculating the at least one quantitative metric in consideration of at least one mashup pattern and applying at least one mashup pattern to the process responsive to improvement in the at least one quantitative metric.

A method includes receiving a request from a requestor to validate a data assemblage expressed in Javascript Object Notation (JSON); translating the data assemblage expressed in JSON into an extensible markup language (XML) instance; validating the XML instance using syntactic schema and semantic schema specifications; and sending a response to the requestor. For a case where the data assemblage contains invalid data in at least one field the response includes an output array containing information for specifying valid data for the at least one field and a message explaining a reason why the field is invalid. A system for performing the method is also described, as is a computer program product that can be used to execute the method.

Under the present invention, a stability and updateability (SUP) ratio for a grid computing environment is generated. Thereafter, a size of a set (e.g., at least one) of scale free graphs for the grid computing environment is estimated. Then, based on at least one predetermined parameter such as a quantity of nodes in the grid computing environment, the set of scale free graphs is actually generated. Based on the set of scale free graphs a set of perturbed scale free graphs is generated. In one example, this may be accomplished using a preferential rewiring technique. This process is repeated for each of the monitoring and discovery services, which will yield at least two sets of perturbed scale free graphs. Using these sets of graphs, a set of monitoring and discovery service (MDS) topology graphs for the grid computing environment will be generated and deployed for optimization.
摘要:
A method and system for processing complex long running queries with respect to a database in which the database workload is determined in terms of quality of service (QoS) requirements of with respect to short running queries, which can be of a transactional type, in which long running queries are partitioned into a plurality of sub-queries that satisfy the database QoS requirements, are then processed and the results of processing the plurality of sub-queries are aggregated so as to correspond to the processing of the long running query.
