Systems, methods and articles of manufacture are disclosed for synchronizing a transaction profile with a resolution status of a problem experienced by an application. The problem may be detected for the application. A transaction profile may be retrieved for the detected problem. The transaction profile may include a sequence of transactions to be performed on the system to remedy the open problem. Transactions occurring on the system may be monitored, and an instance of the transaction profile may be updated accordingly to create a synchronized transaction profile.

Synchronizing problem resolution task status using awareness of current state and transaction history

A system, method, and article of manufacture are disclosed for monitoring and resolving problems detected in the application stack. The application stack may include multiple, interpedently application components which collectively provide a unified service. An interactive problem resolution program may monitor and assist users in troubleshooting an application stack installed on a separate computer system. Generally, when a problem in the application stack is detected, the IPR Program may alert users to the problem and provide information about the problem to guide users in taking steps to correct the problem.

Interactive problem resolution presented within the context of major observable application behaviors

A computer implemented method of matching user descriptions of technical problem manifestations with system problem descriptions in which system-level symptoms for computer-related problems which map to problem descriptions and recommended fixes are broken into sub-phrases, and an index of association ratios between the system-level symptom sub-phrases and sub-phrases derived from text extracted from corpora related to computer problem symptoms is generated and prioritized. When user-entered text related to a computer-related problem is received, it is searched against the prioritized index, and matches are presented for the user in order of prioritization from which the user can select and run a recommended fix to which the selection is mapped.
