20110208841 | INCREMENTALLY MANAGING DISTRIBUTED CONFIGURATION DATA - A configuration management system provides a partitioned data model for collecting and representing configuration information from a diverse set of sources to allow easier modeling of very large, highly redundant sets of enterprise configuration information. The system partitions large configuration schema into logical subcomponents that can be combined, shared, and reused. The system also partitions instantiated data models into logical sub-models that can be combined, shared, reused, and incrementally updated. Each product team can provide its own configuration schema, which allows the domain experts in a particular field to provide reusable models for their products. These models may include sub-models that allow reuse of selected portions of the configuration schema. When the system stores data related to each portion of the model, it stores the data in a partitioned manner that makes incremental updates of each component of the model more straightforward and less resource intensive. | 08-25-2011 |
20130067476 | AUTOMATIC TRANSCODING AND SEMANTIC ADAPTATION BETWEEN SCRIPTING AND WORKFLOW SYSTEMS - A workflow scripting system is described herein that combines the features of workflows and scripts by automatically translating between the two models. Using the system, a script author can create workflows on the fly using familiar scripting language, and a workflow author can use scripting steps to perform actions. Workflows run in this manner can be setup to execute in their own process to improve robustness or efficiency. Operations in an enterprise environment frequently take a long time and are subject to interruptions. By adding reliability concepts of workflows to a shell environment, users of the system can write scripts to address common needs of large-scale computing environments. Thus, the workflow scripting system blends the available resources provided by workflow and scripting environments to provide a host of powerful, advanced capabilities to IT personnel. | 03-14-2013 |
20140359096 | Distributed State Model for System Configuration Synchronization - Systems and methods for configuring applications and resources on distributed nodes or machines are disclosed. A node exposes a synchronization resource that corresponds to a desired state on a remote resource. The node evaluates a state of the remote resource. A test function may be defined to check whether the remote resource is in the desired state. A set function may also be defined to set a state of the synchronization resource when the remote resource is in the desired state. The node configures the synchronization resource when the remote resource is in the desired state. The synchronization resource may be configured, for example, using a resource provider. The node may evaluate the states of a plurality remote resources. The synchronization resource may be configured when one or more of the remote resources are in the desired state or when all of the remote resources are in the desired state. | 12-04-2014 |
20140359258 | Declarative Configuration Elements - Systems and methods for desired state configuration (DSC) are disclosed. DSC provides the ability to perform declarative configuration natively within a shell language and to use early-bound schematized data constructs embedded in a late-bound shell language. This allows declarative programming elements to be incorporated into imperative languages, such as scripts for configuration management. Script may combine the power of an imperative shell language with the ease of use of a declarative language and may use both imperative and declarative syntax in the same language. | 12-04-2014 |
20140359586 | Programming Language with Extensions using a Strict Meta-Model - Systems and methods for extending a programming language with a set of extensions using a strict meta-model are disclosed. Embodiments provide a set of interfaces that allow a schema to be synthesized. Syntax is introduced into an existing programming language to allow the construction of schematized data objects. A schema processor module translates a schema representation into new keywords. A document generator module receives the set of keywords and produces output in a selected form. When code comprising the keyword extensions is parsed, AST nodes represent keyword actions as a set of functions and implements those function calls with the original meta-data. A keyword definition comprises a name and an action to be taken at parse time and an action to be taken at runtime. The default action at parse time is to inject a function call into the code. The default action at runtime is to call the function. | 12-04-2014 |
