摘要:
A method and apparatus for providing an extensible grouping mechanism for security applications for use in a computer system. Groups may be established and maintained by non-system administrators and used to control actions that are taken with respect to objects, such as files and other resources. The groups and associated security functions may be implemented across a plurality of different software products and optionally integrated into an existing security mechanism maintained by system administrators. Software products used in the system may be arranged to request authorization to perform requested actions with respect to objects access to which is not controlled by a systems administrator.

Architecture that facilitates interfacing non-integrated applications. The disclosed architecture comprises a set of APIs and conventions used to enable integration between tools that were not previously architected to be integrated. This provides the basis for server-based partner integration and client integration of tools, and can facilitate the foundation for building a third-party ecosystem. In support thereof, an artifact provider API exposes artifacts of a first application, and an artifact consumer API exposes a reference of a second application, which reference is associated with a link to one at least one of the artifacts of the artifact provider.

Various mechanisms are disclosed herein for the saving and restoring of virtual machine environment state. For example, virtual machine state can be either be saved or (multiple) snapshots can be taken of the virtual machine state. In the latter case, virtual processors can be allowed to run while the memory of the virtual machine state is being saved. In either case, virtual devices associated with the virtual machine environment can be quiesced such that these devices can prepare themselves to be saved. Once such virtual devices and memory are saved, they can also be restored. For example, restoration of memory can occur while virtual processors are running at the same time. And, moreover, restoration can occur in batches of pages, thus optimizing the response time for restoring saved data.

Query results are pre-cached for a substantial portion of or all queries that are likely to be issued by users. One query can be entirely different from another query, yet because corresponding query results are pre-cached, the database need not be accessed, improving response performance. Pre-cached queries are also distributed into multiple partitions to apportion work among multiple computing machines to further enhance performance and provide redundancy in case of the failure of any particular partition. Pre-cached query results are selectively refreshed so that users may enjoy up-to-date information by focusing on queries that are popular as well as queries that are old.

The present invention provides a system and method for unrelated tools to categorized elements they control according to a common centrally managed classification scheme. The invention also provides a mechanism for storing, retrieving, and modifying classifying information. Users of unrelated tools that employ the subject invention see a single and consisted user interface.

Data capture and analysis for debugging embedded systems is disclosed. On a target, there is at least one data collector, each of which publishes predetermined data of the target, and a collection manager for managing the data collectors. On a host, there is at least one viewer, each of subscribes to the predetermined data of a data collector, for processing thereof, and a viewer manager for managing the viewers. Data collectors and viewers can be added, such that an extensible data capture and analysis embedded system architecture is provided.

In one embodiment, a method an apparatus for managing a system comprising at least one operational data store and a data warehouse that is associated with at least some of the data in the operational data set, comprising automatically updating the schema of the data warehouse to reflect a change to the schema of the at least one operational data store. In a further embodiment, a method and apparatus for requiring that a designer of a database system provide metadata that defines changes to be made to a data warehouse in response to a modification of an area in an operational store. In another embodiment, a method and apparatus for detecting schema changes to an operational store, so that appropriate action may be taken in a data warehouse. In a further embodiment, a method and apparatus for implementing changes to a data warehouse schema, comprising the execution of one or more lower level calls to appropriate APIs to modify the schemas of both a relational database and an OLAP database.
