摘要： Systems, clients, servers, methods, and computer-readable media of varying scope are described that maintain versions of associations between project management objects such as source cod files, bug data, development issue data, and software specifications. One aspect of the system is that the project association data is stored in a relational database. A link set data structure provides a link to objects that are to be associated together. A link content data structure describes an individual project management object that is linked with other objects in the link set. As a software development project progresses through its life cycle, changes to the associations occur. The changes are captured and stored in the database. Previous versions of the associations are maintained in the project database, thereby allowing a user to query for the state of the project associations as they existed at any particular point in time.

摘要： Most search engines include user interfaces and query languages which are tailored for use with specific file types. Thus, a user interface for searching one type file can be quite different than an interface for searching another file type. Disparate user interfaces are troublesome since users must continually reorient themselves as they switch from interface to interface to initiate searches for different file types. Additionally, many of these user interfaces use different query languages and structures, which are not generally adaptive to new file types and query language features. Accordingly, the present inventors developed an adaptively configurable user interface to facilitate a common user experience across two or more databases and an extensible common query structure to allow expansion of a query language to meet the demands of new file types. An exemplary embodiment includes a discovery mechanism for determining query properties of search providers, thereby facilitating adaptive configuring of a user interface to expose the determined query properties. An exemplary embodiment of the user interface includes a portion which remains relatively constant across two or more search providers to reduce user disorientation.

摘要： Systems, clients, servers, methods, and computer-readable media of varying scope are described that maintain versions of data related to projects. Included in the system is a visual interface, a source repository and a project database. The source repository maintains versions of source code associated with a software development project. The project database maintains project data associated with the project. The project database maintains versions of the project data. The visual interface provides a mechanism for reading and updating the project data. As project data is updated a method is invoked in which a current version of the data is located. The current version is determined by examining which data structure has an end-time value that is blank or null. The current version's end-time is set to the current time (i.e. the time of the update), thereby turning the current version into a previous version of the project data. A new data structure is created that contains the updated value. The end-time value for the new data structure is set to blank or null, indicating that it is the current version.

摘要： A configuration management system creates (602) each configuration by assigning a configuration identifier to each configuration. In addition, relational information is computed (706) that indicates the relationships between the configuration and any configurations upon which it is based. The system then tracks (604) changes to files of the configuration by storing information associating each new file version with the configuration identifier. The system also tracks (1210) changes to file properties. A configuration is then reconstructed (608) as of a desired date, by identifying (2104, 2106) the file versions and properties associated with that configuration as of the desired date. A determination is made (2110) whether a user that has requested the file versions has access privileges by first checking a security cache (2600) for the user privileges information. If the information is not on the cache, it is computed from a security table (2800) and stored on the cache. The system automatically compresses (3118) and reconstitutes (3006) file versions that are stored in the version store.

摘要： A system and method for performing client-server transactions includes an application interface, located at a client, which manages connections between the client and a server. The application interface receives a request from an application program, opens a connection with the server, sends a message that includes the request over the connection, and holds the connection open for at least a timeout period. If the application interface receives another request destined for the server during the timeout period, it sends another message with the new request over the open connection. If the application interface receives one or more requests that are part of a transaction, the application interface assigns a transaction identifier to the transaction. The transaction identifier and a sequence indicator are included in each message with each request. At the server, a transaction manager receives the messages, sequences the requests based on the sequence indicators, and processes the requests in the indicated sequence. If the application interface receives a redirect request from the server in response to a message, the application interface sends the message to another server identified in the redirect request without involving the client application.

摘要： A generic application server is capable of simultaneously receiving requests, processing requested work, and returning results using multiple, conceptual thread pools. In addition, functions are programmable as state machines. While executing such a function, when a worker thread encounters a potentially blocking condition, the thread issues an asynchronous request for data, a state transition is performed, and the thread is released to do other work. After the blocking condition is relieved, another worker thread is scheduled to advance to the next function state and continue the function. Multiple priority work queues are used to facilitate completion of functions already in progress. In addition, lower-priority complex logic threads can be invoked to process computationally intense logic that may be necessitated by a request. Throttling functions are also implemented, which control the quantity of work accepted into the server and server response time.
