In one embodiment, a method includes the steps of executing a mobile agent object, (called a delivery-mobile agent object) in a mobile-agent runtime environment in a host computing environment and then installing a service object to be executable in the mobile-agent runtime environment. | 06-19-2014 |
| 20160062808 | REMOTELY MONITORING AND SCHEDULING A DATA INTEGRATION JOB - Systems of computer hardware for remotely monitoring and scheduling data integration (DI) jobs are presented including: an integration module that transforms a request for remotely monitoring or scheduling a DI job from a first enterprise application into one or more customized commands by the first enterprise application suitable for accessing a second enterprise application, where the DI job is executed in at a DI server at the request of the second enterprise application; a listener agent electronically coupled with the integration module and a DI server, where the listener agent receives the one or more customized commands, and monitors or schedules the DI job in the second enterprise application through one or more DI job-control application programming interfaces (DI job-control APIs) specific to the second enterprise application; and a customized commands repository that stores the one or more customized commands. | 03-03-2016 |
| 20160070604 | DISCOVERING OBJECT DEFINITION INFORMATION IN AN INTEGRATED APPLICATION ENVIRONMENT - Provided is a method, system, and program for providing an object discovery agent (ODA) client. There is one object discovery agent (ODA) client and at least one ODA, wherein each ODA is associated with one application and includes: (i) application programming interfaces (APIs) to communicate with the associated application to discover definition information on objects maintained by the application and (ii) code to communicate with the ODA client. The ODA client communicates with one of the at least one ODA to cause the ODA to gather definition information on at least one object used by one application. The gathered object definition information is provided to an integration server to integrate the object in an environment including heterogeneous objects from different applications. | 03-10-2016 |
| 20160077898 | INTEGRATING OPERATING SYSTEMS - A method and apparatus for integration of operating systems solve the problem in the conventional techniques with low efficiency in switching among the operating systems. The techniques of the present disclosure firstly starts a first operating system and its agent process, and then starts a second operating system, wherein the second operating system may call the agent process to request the first operating system for resources required by the second operating system. The second operating system may directly request the first operating system for the needed resources, which realizes the coexistence of the first operating system and the second operating system without mutual switching between the operating systems. | 03-17-2016 |
| 20160077998 | PERFORMING A ROOTED-V COLLECTIVE OPERATION BY AN OPERATIONAL GROUP OF COMPUTE NODES IN A PARALLEL COMPUTER - In a parallel computer, performing a rooted-v collective operation by an operational group of compute nodes includes: identifying, in source code by a collective algorithm selection optimizing module, a gather operation followed by a rooted-v collective operation; replacing, by the collective algorithm selection optimizing module, the gather operation with an allgather operation; executing, by the compute nodes, the allgather operation; selecting, by each compute node in dependence upon results of the allgather operation, an algorithm for effecting the rooted-v collective operation; and executing, by each compute node, the rooted-v collective operation with the selected algorithm. | 03-17-2016 |
| 20160124829 | AGENT DYNAMIC SERVICE - A dynamic service module is embedded in an agent and able to add functionality to the agent. The service module may manage .jar files for execution by the agent. The service module may receive the .jar files, provide them to an agent for execution, and may perform other functions. The agent may perform obfuscation in order to translate the .jar files into a modified version which may be more compatible with a particular agent. Once execution of the .jar file is complete, the agent may remove the .jar file as well as all trace of the .jar file. For example, the agent may remove byte code instrumentation that was installed as a result of the .jar file. | 05-05-2016 |
| 20160127217 | BUSINESS TRANSACTION CONTEXT FOR CALL GRAPH - An application which utilizes a single thread is monitored and context for the individual requests and business transactions operating on that platform are provided. A wrapper is placed is around an object that calls a request. The wrapper renames a request object. Request objects are renamed with a unique name when they are called. When a call stack is sampled, the sampler will retrieve the unique name. Performance data associated with the unique name may be correlated to a business transaction and particular request as metrics are subsequently analyzed. For subsequent reporting, such as call graph reporting, the report or call graph will have requests in the context of a particular business transaction and a particular request instance. This provides more context in reporting of an business application request for frameworks that utilize as single request for multiple threads. | 05-05-2016 |
| 20160132365 | MECHANISM FOR INTERPOSING ON OPERATING SYSTEM CALLS - A method for interposing on operating system calls in a host is provided. The method includes patching an operating system kernel function, the patching comprising adding a first pointer that invokes an agent function, the patching performed by an agent. The method includes executing the agent function, responsive to a system call stub calling the operating system kernel function, which invokes the agent function via the first pointer, wherein at least one action of the method is performed by a processor of a host having an operating system. | 05-12-2016 |
