Abstract: A technique and mechanism to effect cross-pollination synchronization of PIM (personal information manager) data to multiple sources. Additionally, a novel feature of the subject invention is the ability to effect cross-pollination synchronization with any number of devices and sources in a network. The invention provides for a user to employ a mobile device or set of devices as a central repository for PIM data (e.g., calendar, contacts and tasks) synchronized from multiple sources (e.g., multiple PC's (personal computers), an exchange server). The invention provides for synchronization of PIM data from multiple types of server sources to multiple devices regardless of the synchronization protocol versions and different schemas.

Abstract: A partnership object is created to manage interactions between objects in an object oriented computing environment. An interaction license is issued by a licensing framework executing on a computing device to each of a group of objects indicating that the group of objects is authorized to form partnerships, where the group of objects interact by requesting formation of the partnerships using the provided interaction licenses. A first object requests to interact with a second object. A partnership object is created and each of the first and second objects is provided with a reference to the partnership object. The request from the first object may include identifiers of licenses associated with the first and second object and the partnership object may be created only if both licenses are validated. The first object then is able to interact with the second object by using the reference to the partnership object.

Abstract: A technique for synchronizing a datum between a plurality of stores, wherein a version history is associated with the datum in each store. The version history has one or more entries, and each entry has an identifier and a value. The identifier identifies a store that has modified the datum, and indicates a number of modifications to the datum. When synchronizing the datum between stores, the version histories of the datum are compared to determine whether one version history is subordinate to another version history. The datum having the subordinate version history is then replaced with the datum having the dominant version history. Conflict resolution is required if the version histories are not identical, if the version histories do not have the same identifiers, and if one version history does not contain all of the identifiers with equal or greater values of those in the other version history.

Abstract: A method for replicating a deduplicated storage system is disclosed. A stream of data is stored on an originator deduplicating system by storing a plurality of deduplicated segments and information on how to reconstruct the stream of data. The originator deduplicating system is replicated on a replica system by sending a copy of the plurality of deduplicated segments and information on how to reconstruct the stream of data to the replica system. A first portion of the deduplicated segments stored on the originator deduplicating system that is corrupted is identified. A copy of the first portion of the deduplicated segments is requested to be sent by the replica system to the originator deduplicating system.

Abstract: Integrating a file system with a RAID array that exports precise information about the arrangement of data blocks in the RAID subsystem. The present invention uses separate current-write location (CWL) pointers for each disk in the disk array where the pointers simply advance through the disks as writes occur. The present invention writes on the disk with the lowest CWL pointer. A new disk is chosen only when the algorithm starts allocating space for a new file, or when it has allocated N blocks on the same disk for a single file. A sufficient number of blocks are defined as all the buffers in a chunk of N sequential buffers in a file. The result is that CWL pointers are never more than N blocks apart on different disks, and large files have N consecutive blocks on the same disk.

Abstract translation: 将文件系统与导出RAID子系统中数据块布局的精确信息的RAID阵列集成在一起。 本发明对磁盘阵列中的每个磁盘使用单独的电流写入位置（CWL）指针，其中当发生写入时，指针简单地前进通过磁盘。 本发明在具有最低CWL指针的盘上写入。 只有当算法开始为新文件分配空间时，或者在同一个磁盘上为单个文件分配了N个块时，才选择新的磁盘。 足够数量的块被定义为文件中N个顺序缓冲区块中的所有缓冲区。 结果是CWL指针在不同的磁盘上绝对不超过N个块，大文件在同一个磁盘上有N个连续的块。

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of transferring content from a file and a database. In this case, the file includes content instances, each content instance being associated with a respective field, and each field having a respective type. The transfer is achieved by determining the type of each field, and then storing each content instance in a store in accordance with the determined field type of the associated field. Each content instance can then be transferred to the database in accordance with the determined field type. A similar procedure is provided for creating XML files based on content within the database.

Abstract: A write-once-read-many (WORM) storage system that employs large-capacity and relatively inexpensive disks in connection with a file system on a file server is provided. The file system contains most or all of the required WORM functionality so as to impose a minimal footprint on client applications, client operating systems and open protocols if desired. The system is organized around WORM storage volumes that contain files that, when committed to WORM storage, cannot be deleted or modified. Any file path or directory tree structure used to identify the file within the WORM volume is locked and cannot be deleted. In one embodiment, the administrator creates a WORM volume, capable of storing designated WORM files. The client then creates an appropriate WORM file using the appropriate protocol semantics. The file is written to the volume and committed by transitioning the file attributes from a not-read-only to a read-only state. The file system recognizes the persistently stored WORM attribute of any file in a WORM volume as WORM file. Henceforth, any attempt to modify the file attributes, write to the file, or delete the file, by clients, administrators or other entities is rejected and a request denied message is returned to the attempting party.

Abstract translation: 提供了一次多次写入（WORM）存储系统，该系统使用与文件服务器上的文件系统相关联的大容量且相对便宜的磁盘。 文件系统包含大部分或全部所需的WORM功能，以便在客户端应用程序，客户端操作系统和开放式协议（如果需要）上施加最小的占用空间。 系统围绕包含文件的WORM存储卷组织，当提交到WORM存储时，不能删除或修改。 用于标识WORM卷中的文件的任何文件路径或目录树结构都被锁定，不能被删除。 在一个实施例中，管理员创建能够存储指定的WORM文件的WORM卷。 然后，客户端使用适当的协议语义创建一个适当的WORM文件。 将文件写入卷并通过将文件属性从非只读状态转换为只读状态来提交。 文件系统将WORM卷中任何文件的持久存储的WORM属性识别为WORM文件。 此后，客户端，管理员或其他实体的任何修改文件属性，写入文件或删除文件的尝试都被拒绝，请求被拒绝的消息被返回给尝试方。
