摘要:
A configuration management database (CMDB) that associates a policy with a configuration item (CI) in the CMDB. The policy contains an “applies to” field and a “type descriptor”. When a relationship is created between the CI and a second CI in the CMDB, the policy is associated with the second CI. The type descriptor of the policy may be evaluated and the policy associated with the second CI in response to the evaluation. The policy may contain a type descriptor comprising an instance of a CI type. The policy may contain a type descriptor comprising a CI type. The policy may contain an “applies to” field having a value of “this CI type”. The policy may contain an “applies to” field having a value of “hosting environment of this CI type”. The type descriptor may include a hosted CI component portion and a hosting CI component portion.
摘要:
A method for policy-based program optimization of existing software code is performed where the code is segmented into code modules. The optimization is based on a performance policy that defines a target characteristic and a sacrificial characteristic relating to the existing software code and further defines an allowable degradation of the sacrificial characteristic resulting from optimization of the target characteristic. This method may include identifying code modules that contribute to suboptimal performance of the software code with respect to the target characteristic; identifying code transformations that increase performance of the suboptimal code modules with respect to the target characteristic; and optimizing the identified code modules by selectively applying the code transformations in accordance with the performance policy to increase performance of the software code with respect to the target characteristic.
摘要:
A computing environment climate-aware policy management system provides decision support by receiving a request to perform an action, where the request is communicated from or on behalf of a computing resource. Upon receiving the request, an indication of a computing environment climate is obtained, which may include for example, information related to the workflow associated with the requested action, information external to the workflow or other information that contextualizes the computing environment of components thereof. At least one policy is obtained that is associated with at least one of the action associated with the request, the resource associated with the request to perform the action received by the policy system manager, and the indicated climate. Each obtained policy is evaluated and a response to the request to perform the action is provided based upon the results of the policy evaluation.
摘要:
The present invention discloses a solution for managing policy artifacts using a configuration management database (CMDB). Policies can be associated with a number of information technology resources, such as servers, businesses applications and the like. The solution permits automatic tagging of the policies (auto-discovery) as they enter the CMDB. For example, when a policy is added, it can be compared against a set of tagging rules. Multiple rules can match a new policy, which results in multiple tags being added for the policy. The policy specific tags can be optionally indexed for faster searching. Once indexed, the CMDB can support policy and policy tag based queries. In one embodiment, policy artifacts can be manipulated within a CMDB tool in a manner consistent with how the CMDB tool handles configuration items (CIs).
摘要:
A system and method for language-agnostic policy management. At least one policy associated with an event occurrence is identified. At least one policy engine associated with the at least one policy is identified. The at least one policy is evaluated by a policy engine of the associated at least one policy engine.

摘要:
A system, method and computer program product for determining policy follow-up action based on user-specified codes are set forth. When determining policy follow up action based upon user specified codes, a policy system receives function templates for permissible actions on a given resource type; each function template is annotated with indications of success and failure; the policy system performs an action on the resource; the policy system receives a status indication (or exception); the status indication is compared against the annotated function template; and, the policy system determines its next action based on that comparison.
