Systems and methods of improving the functioning of a streaming platform system by managing database change stream offsets using a time series database are disclosed. In some example embodiments, a computer system retrieves an offset value from a plurality of offset values stored in a time series database, with the plurality of offset values being indexed in the time series database in time order, and the retrieved offset value being retrieved using a time parameter, and then the computer system transmits a data request to a stream-processing platform, with the data request comprising the retrieved offset value, and the data request being operable to retrieve a data record stored in association with the retrieved offset value in a storage layer of the stream-processing platform using the offset value.

Managing database offsets with time series

A computer-implemented method and system is operable to: receive a tracking event from a client, recognize tracking specific parameters in the tracking event, generate a tracking entry corresponding to the tracking event, use a tracking service API to send the tracking entry to a second server, and redirect the client to an intended target corresponding to the tracking event.

Method and system for proxy tracking of third party interactions

A system to process navigation information includes a receiving module to receive a data request from a network entity. The data request includes a network entity identifier that uniquely identifies the network entity. The system further includes an application to generate a network event based on the data request, the network event including the navigation information. Finally, the system includes a publisher module to communicate the network event to a first server that is distinguished from a first plurality of servers based on the network entity identifier.

Method and system to process navigation information

A system to process navigation information includes at least one hardware processor and an information storage and retrieval platform executed by the at least one hardware processor. The information storage and retrieval platform is configured to receive a data request from a client, the data request including a client identifier that identifies the client, generate a network event in response to the data request received from the client, and generate, by the at least one hardware processor, a hash value from the client identifier. The information storage and retrieval platform is also configured to identify an address based on the hash value, determine a server by a lookup of the server from among a plurality of servers, the lookup being based on the identified address, and communicate the network event to the server.

Novel storage area networks (SANs) and methods of operation thereof utilize a plurality of hosts coupled via an interconnect with one or more storage units. A manager device, process or other functionality in communication with a plurality of agent processes, devices or other functionality, each of which is associated with a host. The agents identify attributes of (i) their associated hosts, (ii) interconnect to which that host is coupled, and/or (iii) storage units to which that host is coupled via the interconnect. The manager responds to these attributes identified by the agents to manage the SAN. The manager can be implemented on a first digital data processor and the hosts on further digital data processors. These digital data processors can be coupled via a first network, e.g., an IP or other network, to support communications between the manager and the agents. A second network, e.g., SCSI and/or fiber channel based fabric, separate from the first network, can be utilized as the interconnect between the hosts and the storage devices.

Storage area network methods and apparatus with centralized management

A user interface construction method () for a web based user interface ('WUI'). A serverhas an HTML template, HTML ResourceBundles, and JAR filescontaining Java ResourceBundles. At run-time, a user will select a language at the browserand a language codewill be transmitted to the server, whereupon the serverwill construct a constructed HTML codefrom the HTML templateand a corresponding HTML ResourceBundle. The constructed HTML code(including Java codeinserts) will then be transmitted to the browseralong with the JAR file containing the Java ResourceBundles

Interface for providing different-language versions of markup-language resources

A storage area network (SAN) includes a plurality of digital data processors, each with a file system that effects access to one or more storage devices coupled to the SAN, for example, via an interconnect fabric. A process (e.g., executing on a manager digital data processor) responds to a file system over-extension notification from at least a selected one of the digital data processors, e.g., by assigning a further storage device to the selected digital data processor. The type of response is, more particularly, determined in accord with a hierarchically defined policy inherited, in whole or in part, from one or more hierarchical groups of which the digital data processor is a member.

Storage area network methods and apparatus with hierarchical file system extension policy

The invention provides a storage area network (SAN) of type having one or more digital data processors coupled to one or more storage devices. At least a selected one of the hosts includes a file system that effects access by the host to assigned storage devices. This can be, for example, a conventional AIX or other host platform file system that oversees file and other data accesses between the host and those assigned devices. That host can be associated, according to these aspects of the invention, with lower and upper capacity bounds for purposes of file system extension. In response to a request by (or on behalf of) the selected digital data processor for extension of the file system, the manager assigns one of more further storage devices to that digital data processor.

Storage area network methods and apparatus with file system extension

Method and system aspects for automated generation and distribution of certificates in a computer network of computer systems are described. These aspects include generating a request by a first computer system for a certificate from a second computer system, and responding to the request in the second computer system by automatically generating the certificate and distributing the certificate to the first computer system. Further, generating a request includes issuing a POST/CERTREQ request, and sending a self-signed certificate from the first computer system to the second computer system using HTTP. Automatically generating the certificate includes sending a sequence of certificates to the first computer system, the sequence of certificates including the newly generated certificate of the first computer system with a signature from the second computer system and a self-signed certificate from the second computer system.

Method and system for the digital certificate generation and distribution

Method and system aspects for authenticated communication of messages among computer systems in an insecure network are described. These aspects include building a first signed object message in a first computer system, the first signed object message including a first sequence number, a first object and a first signature. Further included is sending the first signed object message to a second computer system, verifying the first signed object message in the second computer,system, and building a second signed object message in the second computer system for replying to the first computer system when the first signed object message is verified, the second signed object message including a second sequence number, a second object, and a second signature.
