    摘要: An auditing system is disclosed comprising a Policy Validation Mechanism Program (PVMP) that operates in conjunction with a Workflow Engine (WE), and a Policy Validation Server Program (PVSP) that operates on a Policy Validation Server (PVS) connected to the WE by a secure communication link. The PVMP converts a workflow to a workflow representation (WR) and sends the WR to the PVS. The PVSP compares the steps in the WR to a security policy identified for that WR and determines whether the WR is in compliance. In addition, the PVSP validates a checksum for the WR and logs the checksum for subsequent comparisons. The PVSP uses the checksum to determine whether a policy has changed during execution of the workflow.

In addition, the PVSP validates a checksum for the WR and logs the checksum for subsequent comparisons. The PVSP uses the checksum to determine whether a policy has changed during execution of the workflow. If the WR is not in compliance, if the checksum cannot be validated, or if a policy has changed, then a failure notification is sent to the WE. Otherwise, a success notification is sent to the WR.

    摘要: The illustrative embodiments described herein provide a computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for generating a set of statistics on information technology service management problems among assets within a network. A data processing system monitors the network for a systems management system message containing information associated with a reported problem of an asset within the network. The systems management system message is generated by the asset associated with the reported problem. Responsive to detecting the systems management system message, the data processing system stores the information associated with the reported problem of the asset contained in the systems management system message to a set of stored data. The data processing system generates the set of statistics on information technology service management problems among the assets within the network using the set of stored data.

    摘要: A means for a person in distress to use a mobile device to communicate covertly with an Emergency Response Center is provided. The means contains a response designed not to alert an abductor of the communication as well as to indicate whether the person is indeed in distress. The means also allows the Emergency Response Center to locate both the distressed person and a mobile device using GPS or triangulation. The device may be in regular operation mode or in distress mode. When the device is in the distress mode, it will appear to be in normal operating mode if in operation or it will appear to be off if off. In addition, the device may be used for forensic purposes since it may provide voice and video data of the situation at an emergency location to the Emergency Response Center.

    摘要: Computer implemented method, system and computer usable program code for servicing a problem with respect to a data processing system. A report of a problem with respect to a particular data processing system is received at a service facility. A help desk ticket is created for the received report that includes a description of the problem with respect to the particular data processing system. A ticket identifier is associated with the help desk ticket. The help desk ticket and the associated ticket identifier are stored in a database managed by the service facility, and the ticket identifier is also stored at the particular data processing system. The ticket identifier stored at the particular data processing system is accessed to identify the help desk ticket associated with the ticket identifier, and the help desk ticket identifies the problem with respect to the particular data processing system to enable servicing of the problem.

    摘要: An auditing system is disclosed comprising a Policy Validation Mechanism Program (PVMP) that operates in conjunction with a Workflow Engine (WE), and a Policy Validation Server Program (PVSP) that operates on a Policy Validation Server (PVS) connected to the WE by a secure communication link. The PVMP converts a workflow to a workflow representation (WR) and sends the WR to the PVS. The PVSP compares the steps in the WR to a security policy identified for that WR and determines whether the WR is in compliance. In addition, the PVSP validates a checksum for the WR and logs the checksum for subsequent comparisons. The PVSP uses the checksum to determine whether a policy has changed during execution of the workflow. If the WR is not in compliance, if the checksum cannot be validated, or if a policy has changed, then a failure notification is sent to the WE. Otherwise, a success notification is sent to the WR.

    摘要: A method, computer program product, and system are disclosed for installing a patch on at least some of the servers of a network having multiple servers. A plurality of servers of the network are identified that requires installation of the patch. Two or more priority values are assigned to each of the identified servers. The priority values for a given identified server are each associated with a different criterion in a set of criteria. The assigned priority values are selectively processed for respective identified servers, in order to determine an initial priority, comprising a first sort order, for installing the patch on each identified server. The first sort order is revised in accordance with information pertaining to prior use of respective identified servers, to provide a second sort order. The patch is installed on each of the identified servers, in an order determined by the second sort order.
