At least one electronic document is requested from one or more participants of the electronic messaging session in accordance with a series of rules that is associated with actions for the messaging session. In response to receiving the requested at least one electronic document into the electronic messaging session, actions associated with the series of rules for the electronic messaging session are performed.

Controlling electronic messaging communication sessions based on document containers

A source code file is generated in accordance with a first coding format employed by a first user. In response to a request for the generated source code file from a second user employing a different coding format, the generated source code file is transformed to the different coding format employed by the second user, and the transformed source code file is presented to the second user in the different coding format.

Efficiently transforming a source code file for different coding formats

Embodiments of the invention may be used to improve enforcement and compliance with publishing rules in an automated and provable manner. Prior to publication, documents may be processed using publishing rules (workflows) based on conceptual analysis of document content. Additionally, embodiments of the invention include a content creation system configured to provide prompt feedback on content coverage. Such a system enables the creator of information to better understand what approval requirements apply to content they create and intend to publish, as the content is being created.

Content creation system configured to provide feedback on content coverage

An approach is provided for queuing clients when a web page is temporarily unavailable. The approach includes providing a computer infrastructure operable to: maintain a queue of clients requesting the web page; receive an indication of an availability number from a host of the web page; and release one or more of the clients from the queue equal to the availability number indicated by the host, based on the receiving the indication of the availability number.

Custom error page enabled via networked computing service

The present invention provides methods and systems for database replication. In general, a source database management system is configured with an access manager. The access manager implements a replication schedule for replicating data to one or more client systems. Replication is performed for a particular client when the access manager determines that one or more threshold criteria have been satisfied.

Access manager for databases

An apparatus and method define the concept of a 'database breakpoint.' One or more conditions in the database are specified as a database breakpoint in a debug environment for debugging a computer program that accesses the database. When the database conditions exist, one or more debug functions may be performed with respect to the execution of the computer program. Examples of debug functions include halting execution of the computer program and halting operations to the database by other programs. With both the computer program and database halted, the user may then interrogate the database to determine its state, and may interrogate the program to determine its state. Database breakpoints greatly enhance the utility of a debugger by providing additional conditions for debugging a computer program that accesses a database.

Database breakpoint apparatus and method

Methods and systems for message format distribution. A sending server is connected to a plurality of receiving servers. The sending server comprises a master database containing information which is periodically provided to the receiving servers. The sending server and the receiving servers communicate using messaging facilities. Changes in the message format are distributed by the sending server to the receiving servers via the messaging facilities. The message format changes are implemented by receiving clients executing on each of the receiving servers. Standard configurable receiving clients are used by all receiving servers, thereby reducing or eliminating development work by the receiving parties.

Method and system for message management

A method, apparatus, system, and signal-bearing medium that in an embodiment determine whether a block of code associated with a copy-and-paste operation or a punch-out operation has a size greater than a threshold. If the size is greater than the threshold, then a method is created and the block of code is pasted into the method. Also, an invocation to the newly created method is added at the copied-from location and the intended pasted-to location (in the case of the copy-and-paste operation) or an invocation to the newly created method is added at the copied-from location (in the case of the punch-out operation). In this way, future modifications to the block of code need only be made in one place: the method, instead of at all locations where duplicate code exists. Thus, embodiments of the invention may reduce the fragility of the code.

Creating a method from a block of code

An apparatus, program product and method effectively merge computer documentation for multiple API sets together to facilitate user access to such computer documentation. Such merging of computer documentation may include, in part, the incorporation, into a navigation file, of a plurality of API set links associated with a plurality of API sets, as well as the incorporation, into an index file, of a plurality of index links to documentation files for at least two of the plurality of API sets. Furthermore, computer documentation may be displayed to a user by displaying selected information in a plurality of display regions of a computer display. In a first display region, at least a portion of a first navigation file may be displayed, with the first navigation file including a plurality of API set links associated with a plurality of API sets. In a second display region, at least a portion of a second navigation file associated with a selected API set among the plurality of API sets may be displayed, with the second navigation file including a plurality of program entity links associated with a plurality of program entities in the selected API set. In a third display region, at least a portion of an index file may be displayed, with the index file including a plurality of index links associated with documentation files for at least two API sets from the plurality of API sets.

Consolidation of computer documentation

The present invention provides methods and systems for accessing a database with a database-enabled messaging facility. An application on a front-end server may access a database located on a back-end server via the database-enabled messaging facility. In general, the database-enabled messaging facility receives a message containing a database request from the front-end server, parses the message to extract the database request, submits the database request to the database, receives results from the database request and sends a message containing results from the database request to the front-end server. For some embodiments, the messaging facility may optimize-accessing the database by changing database requests-prior to submitting them to the database. For example, the messaging facility may reorder database requests, delete redundant database requests, or combine database requests to minimize a total number of database accesses.
