An example operation may include one or more of identifying a caller blockchain node and one or more callee blockchain nodes within a blockchain network and issuing, by the caller blockchain node, application programming interface calls to application programming interfaces corresponding to each of the one or more callee nodes, in response to a first application programming interface call being issued successfully, directing a smart contract associated with the caller blockchain node to initiate a distributed transaction involving the one or more callee nodes to perform the application program interface calls, the caller node issues application programming interface calls and the one or more callee nodes each performing application programming interface requests.

Atomically executed application program interfaces

According to one embodiment, a method, computer system, and computer program product for memory corruption diagnosis is provided. The present invention may include generating a pattern expression (PE) header file, wherein a plurality of common datatypes associated with a software program are pre-defined. The invention may further include generating a PE for each of the plurality of common datatypes, and generating a PE table by merging the generated PEs for each of the plurality of common datatypes. Upon discovery that memory corruption has occurred, the invention may include transmitting a recorded state of the software program as a core dump file to a server, and using a dump utility to identify overlay content of the core dump file. Lastly, the invention may include identifying a possible source program of the memory corruption by matching the PE tables against the illegally-written overlay content.

Problem diagnosis technique of memory corruption based on regular expression generated during application compiling

Method and system are provided for providing instructions during remote viewing of a user interface. The method carried out at a host computer system includes: capturing an image of one or more application user interfaces as displayed at the host computer system; and serializing data of each application user interface to provide a map of each window class and containers and/or control elements of the window class, wherein a container has attributes and child control elements. The captured image and the map are transmitted to a remote computer system; and control element input instructions are received from a remote computer system for instructing an interaction with a control element.

Providing instructions during remote viewing of a user interface

User interface (UI) language options are provided. A code statement in an object code of an application retrieves human language bundle value(s) for use in a UI element. Code is injected into the object code of the application to transmit a resource bundle name and key to the UI element for storage at a user value area of a control of the UI element.

Providing user interface language options

A method for message delivery to a transaction processor is presented. The method may include receiving a message having transaction information. The method may also include determining if the received message is prohibited from delivery based on comparing the transaction information with a blacklist, wherein the blacklist is used to block messages. In response to determining that received message is prohibited from delivery, the method may then include refusing message delivery or delaying message delivery. In response to determining that the received message is not prohibited from delivery, the method may further include enqueuing the message in a request queue. The method may also include receiving a reply message with a transaction status update from the transaction processor. The method may then include updating the blacklist based on the received reply message with the transaction status update.

Smart message delivery based on transaction processing status

Providing hyperlinks in presentations viewed remotely. A current user interface of an application being shared or recorded in a presentation for remote viewer computer systems is identified. An accessibility application programming interface is used to obtain a data structure of elements in the current user interface. The elements in the data structure are interrogated to identify elements including hyperlinks. Hyperlink information for an identified element is captured, and provided for use by a remote viewer computer system.

Providing hyperlinks in presentations viewed remotely

A computer-implemented method, a computer program product, and a computer system for parallel task management. A computer system receives a new task that requests to access a resource may be received. In response to an access workload being above a first threshold, the computer system dispatches the new task to at least one predefined processing unit, wherein the access workload may be associated with the resource that is in parallel accessed by a plurality of existing tasks.

Task management based on an access workload

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, there is provided a method for a distributed transaction processing environment. The method includes in response to determining that a state of a first node acting as a first coordinating node is not performing properly, selecting a second node from a first plurality of participating nodes communicatively coupled to the first node. The method further includes activating the selected second node to be a second coordinating node while deactivating the first node to be a participating node. In addition, the method includes performing a transaction based on a cooperation between the first and second nodes.

Transaction processing

User interface (UI) language options are provided. A request event of a visible text string for a UI element is identified. A user value area of a control of the UI element is inspected to obtain a resource bundle name and key for one or more language equivalents of the text string of the UI element. A menu option is added to the request event by retrieving the language equivalent of the text string in one or more languages from a resource bundle of the application using the resource bundle name and key.
