摘要:
A method and a corresponding system and computer-usable medium for discovering software products on a plurality of one or more computers. The discovering method, system and/or computer-usable medium can populate a software catalogue without the manual intervention of an administrator. Such an approach reduces the cost of producing and maintaining a comprehensive knowledge base (e.g., the catalogue), which contains definitions of software products and the related signature. Signature definitions combine information obtained by the data gathering process and information contained in the registries. This combination allows the creation of a robust signature which reduces to a great extent the possibilities of both “false positive” and “false negative” results.

A method and a corresponding apparatus for inventorying software products on a plurality of computer are proposed. The inventorying system aims at populating a software catalogue without the manual intervention of an administrator. The present invention reduces the cost of producing and maintaining a comprehensive knowledge base (the catalogue) which contains definitions of software products and the related signature. Information about software products and their related signature is obtained through a process which gathers information from a potentially very large collection of computers. Any occurrence of a group of identical files across multiple computers is considered a reliable indicator that they belong to the installation footprint of a product.

Methods, systems, and computer program products for modifying a resource by an authenticated user impersonating another user. In one embodiment of the invention, a lock may be acquired on the resource to be modified, storing the identity of the authenticated user and the identity of the impersonated user inside the lock object, and generating a message indicating that the lock was acquired successfully by the authenticated user impersonating another user.
摘要:
A method of performing an inventory scan of target data processing systems (115) for ascertaining the presence therein of prerequisite resources, wherein the prerequisite resources are resources necessary for the execution, by the target data processing systems, of predetermined activities. The method comprising: upon sending (525) to a target data processing system a request of performing an selected activity of the predetermined activities, associating (515,520) to the request at least one signature of at least one prerequisite resource different from the prerequisite resources required for performing the selected activity, wherein the signature includes information allowing the target data processing system locating where the prerequisite resource is to be searched. Upon receiving from the target data processing system a result of the search of the prerequisite resource, updating (560) information of presence of the prerequisite resource in the target data processing system.
摘要:
An apparatus and a method provide a solution for a computer system. The apparatus may include a package containing or referencing a plurality of software components of the solution and containing a solution definition defining in logical terms the topology requirements of the solution. The plurality of software components may be packaged as installable units which comprise a descriptor providing requirements of a target hosting environment for the software component and the software component to be installed. The solution definition of the package may include target hosting environments of the software components of a solution being defined in terms of requirements each software component has on its own target hosting environment and requirements the solution imposes on the target hosting environments.
摘要:
A method, computer program and system to identify peaks generated by different physical ions in a solution including substances by analyzing mass and intensity coordinates of all peaks in a set of mass spectra measured with errors for a certain concentration c of the solution is here disclosed. The peaks in different mass spectra are associated to a same ion if they are sufficiently ‘close’ according to specific discrimination criteria that go beyond the proximity of mass values.A two stage process is applied, each stage consisting in applying the method to identify peaks in mass spectra. In stage 1, the method to identify peaks is applied on each set of mass spectra for each concentration. Resulting sequences of peaks, one peak in each spectrum, are associated to different ions. This output of stage 1 is converted into a set of virtual mass spectra having as virtual peaks, average peak coordinate values calculated on each sequence. The method to identify peaks is applied once on the virtual mass spectra and the resulting ion identification table refers to peak coordinates values associated to one ion for each concentration of the solution.
