摘要:
Provided is a method for generating an on-demand, custom runtime solution to a user or business's computing needs. A library of software components corresponding to different computing tasks of a business situation is created. Each software component is associated with one or more meta descriptors. Aggregate descriptors are created that define relationships between software components and other software components, software components and aggregate descriptors and between aggregate descriptors. The software components and related meta and aggregate descriptors are managed by means of a software component meta management system (SCMMS). Employing the SCMMS, software components are registered and managed in a hierarchical structure based upon the interrelationships among the software components and the aggregate descriptors. The hierarchical structure is multi-layered, with different layers having different scopes. Users specify the number of levels and how the levels are defined. Meta descriptors are defined at each level.

Provided is a method for generating an on-demand, custom runtime solution to a user or business's computing needs A library of software components corresponding to different computing tasks of a business situation is created. Each software component is associated with one or more meta descriptors. The software components and related meta descriptors are managed by means of a software component meta management system (SCMMS). Meta descriptors are self adaptive in a manner that reflects real use scenarios. Meta descriptors describe both static and dynamic attributes of components.

Provided is a method for specifying business solution requirements. A potential solution is divided in requirement elements. Requirement element include, but are not limited to, hardware, executable logic, or modules, for performing specific functions, user manuals and other documentation corresponding to particular hardware and modules. Each requirement element is categorized into a corresponding requirement descriptor, each of which is comprised of metadata. Metadata includes, but is not limited to, information about the corresponding industries, integration points between elements, solution areas, criteria depending upon experiences of typical users, and any dependencies the element may have upon other elements. Metadata is stored in a storage means and employed by a Solutions Runtime and Value Assets Assembly (SRVAA) toolset to generate a solution package that address the business problem. The stored metadata and the corresponding elements may be employed in future generation of business solution requirements associated with other business problems.

Provided is a method for generating an on-demand, custom runtime solution to a user or business's computing needs. A library of software components corresponding to different computing tasks of a business situation is created. Each software component is associated with one or more meta descriptors. The software components and related meta descriptors are managed by means of a software component meta management system (SCMMS). Based upon customer, input, various components are selected, or filtered, for incorporation into a business runtime solution. In addition to the user input, user queries are feedback into the SCMMS so that the SCMMS accumulates knowledge about the customer's usage. The knowledge is then employed to facilitate and improve the generation of future runtime solutions for both the customer and other customers.

Provided is a graphical user interface (GUI) to associate information with an object. Different views are maintained providing different hierarchical arrangements of a set of objects. Selection is received of one view and one object in the selected view. Information is associated with the selected object, wherein the associated information is accessible in all views in which the object with which the information is associated is accessible.

An approach that proactively manages login security data is provided. The system selects requesters of a software application resource. A privileged requester is used to request login security data pertaining to the selected requesters. The login security data that is received is compared to one or more parameters that indicate which action(s) should take place. Based on this comparison, one or more actions are taken on behalf of the selected requesters. One of the actions that can be taken is a grace period. One of the actions that can be taken is an automatic security setting update. Another action that can be taken is an automatic notification that automatically informs a user or application that a requestor's access to the resource is about to expire.

Methods for accessing a database utilizing an email service adapter utilizing a computer are presented including: causing the computer to receive an email message from a user at an email server, the email server configured to respond to the email service adapter; processing the email message by the email service adapter, where the email message includes at least a database query; processing the database query with the database; and returning a result email message to the user via the email server, the result email message including at least a database response. In some embodiments, methods further include: when the email message is received by the email server, determining whether the email message is intended for accessing the database; if the email message is not intended for accessing the database, and processing the email message by the email server.
