摘要： A method for testing using a preserve status parameter in a computing system includes setting, by a calling process in the computing system, the preserve status parameter; issuing a call to a function under test by the calling process in the computing system; executing the function under test in the computing system, wherein data in a memory area accessed by the function under test during execution is preserved by the set preserve status parameter, such that the computing system does not reuse the memory area while the data in the memory area is being preserved; determining if an error occurred during execution of the function under test; in the event an error is determined to have occurred during execution of the function under test, making the data in the memory area available for inspection; and releasing the memory area for reuse by the computing system.

摘要： An approach to providing relevant product safety information. Product recall information is aggregated from Internet sources into a database of product recall information. Product identification is gathered from products in the consumer's possession. The product identification may be gathered by having a computing device communicate with the products and store the product information in a data structure such as a table in a database. The product identification for the products is compared with the product recall information, and the consumer is notified of product recall information that is associated with one or more of the products. A computer implementing the system may cause the products themselves to notify the consumer. The consumer may also be notified by text message or email. The consumer may also set a sensitivity indicator that specifies conditions to be met before the consumer receives a notification.

摘要： Method, system, and computer program product embodiments for triggering error injection into a function under test using a serialization resource are provided. A test process invokes the function under test immediately after relinquishing exclusive control of the serialization resource. An error-injection process injects the error into the running function after gaining exclusive control of the serialization resource from the test process. The error-injection process may add a delay to inject the error. If the processes are repeated, the error-injection process may vary the delay, perhaps randomly, over a specified time window to thoroughly exercise the function's error recovery routine.

摘要： A method for reducing the data analysis overhead on a production system is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, such a method includes replicating production data from a primary site to a remote site. A control data set containing information for directing analysis of the production data is generated at the primary site and replicated to the remote site. At the remote site, the method includes analyzing the production data as directed by the control data set by making use of time on a CPU located at the remote site. Analysis may involve executing a diagnostic routine and/or generating a log file documenting the results of the analysis. A corresponding apparatus, system, and computer program product are also disclosed and claimed herein.

摘要： Providing a computer program product, system, and method for logging updates to monitored data sets in a storage. A request is received to monitor changes to a monitored data set comprising one of the data sets in the storage. A determination is made of tracks in the storage in which the data set is stored. The determined tracks are indicated in monitored tracks. Updates to the storage are received and a determination is made as to whether the updates are for the monitored tracks. The updates are logged in response to determining that updates are for the monitored tracks. A determination is made of new tracks added to the monitored data set and the determined new tracks are indicated in the monitored tracks.
