摘要:
A deployment request from a target machine is received for an operating system on a source machine. Tracking information indicative of an evolution of the deployment of the operating system is received. Deployment of the operating system is enabled or refused in response to each deployment request according to the tracking information.

Systems, and products for testing a transactional software application which interacts with a database structure. The software application includes a plurality of application units, which are adapted to be executed at least in part concurrently. Executing the software application includes executing a plurality of transaction operations on the database structure by a plurality of respective invocations of a database management system of the database structure by the respective plurality of application units. The system also includes computer program instructions for determining locks being applied by the database management system on elements of the database structure for each transaction operation executed by each application unit individually. The system also includes computer program instructions for identifying potential lock conditions of the software application in possible successions of application of the locks according to possible interleaving of the application units.

A method, data processing system, and computer program product for applying a setting. A request for a set of resources is received. The request is to use the set of resources over a network connection. An address associated with a device from the request is identified. A geographic location of the device is identified based on the address. A set of settings for the set of resources is identified based on the geographic location of the device. The set of settings is applied to the set of resources.

A solution (400) for discovering shared software components (C1-C9) of software products (PRODa-PRODe) installed on a data processing system (110) is proposed. In order to achieve this result, for each software product the corresponding software components are aggregated into groups (Ga1-Ge1); each group includes software components that must be linked by a corresponding relationship (such as a co-location on the same operating system image). In this way, it is possible to assign a software component available on the system to its software product even when it may be used by more of them. Particularly, the operation is performed deterministically when the available software component is included in a single valid group (i.e., a group including all the required software components); in this case, the available software component (C2) is assigned to the software product (PRODb) associated with the single valid group (Gb1). Alternatively, when an (ambiguous) available software component (C4,C8,C9) is included in more valid groups, a score is calculated for each associated (eligible) software product according to the corresponding available software components; the eligible software product with the highest score (PRODc) is then selected for assigning the ambiguous software component.

摘要:
A solution is proposed for exchanging messages (such as e-mails) among a plurality of data processing entities, such as client computers (105). A corresponding method starts with the step of sending (403-412) an original message from a sender entity to a set of original receiver entities; the original message includes an original information content and an indication of the original receiver entities. The method continues by sending (415-424) a correction message from the sender entity at least partially to the original receiver entities and completely to a set of missing receiver entities being missing in the original message; the correction message includes the original information content and an indication of the original receiver entities and the missing receiver entities. The original message for each original receiver entity is then corrected (427-496) according to the correction message.

A method for determining a software configuration in a computer system having a plurality of devices which can communicate with a central server and a one or more shared file systems, the method including the acts of determining, by each of the plurality of devices, which of the one or more shared file systems the corresponding device is mounted to; designating for each of the one or more shared file systems a device which is mounted thereto to perform a scanning operation on the corresponding shared file system, the device being selected from the plurality of devices; scanning, by each designated device, the one or more shared file systems that the corresponding device has been designated to scan so as to identify software products on the corresponding shared file systems that correspond with the catalog information; and receiving, from each designated device, results of the scanning for further processing.

摘要:
A method and a corresponding apparatus for metering usage of software products on a computer are proposed. The metering system is based on the use of a software catalogue. The software catalogue lists all the known products to be metered; each product is identified by one or more executable modules indicative of its running. A licensing agent detects the executable modules that have been launched. For each executable module, the system checks if a corresponding product is listed in the catalogue, and can decide an appropriate action, or simply meter the usage of the product for future reporting and invoicing activity. If no corresponding product is found in the catalogue, the method according to the present invention performs a similarity check between the unknown detected module and the product identifiers existing on the catalogue. Sometimes the difference between a new product and a catalogued one is very limited. If such difference is evaluated to be within a predetermined threshold, than the unknown module is added to the catalogue.
