A computer-implemented method includes receiving, by a processor, real time operation data related to an application, identifying components of the application based on the operation data, extracting relationships and interdependencies between the components, and generating a graph of the identified components, the relationships and the interdependencies. The method also includes determining one or more dynamic metrics of the identified components, the one or more dynamic metrics indicative of interactions between the components, extracting statistical information describing at least one of performance and resource consumption based on the operation data, incorporating the dynamic metrics into the graph, determining a behavior of at least one component based on a pattern of appearance of the at least one component in the graph, and generating a model of the application based on the identified components and the determined behaviors.

A method and associated system for an automatically self-learning audit of a bidirectional synchronization means for synchronizing a source system and a target system. A processor identifies a mismatch between an element of production data of the source system and an analogous production-data element of the target system. If the mismatch is caused by an issue known to the synchronization means, the processor takes corrective action known to resolve the mismatch. Otherwise, the processor attempts to identify a resolution and, if successful, applies the resolution, teaches the resolution to the synchronization mechanism, records the solution, and resends data from the correct system to the incorrect system. If unable to identify a resolution, the processor implements a next-best solution that allows continued operation despite the unresolved mismatch. The processor then generates a report of the mismatch and continues searching for other mismatches in the loaded data models.

A method, system, and computer program product for automated value analysis in legacy data are provided in the illustrative embodiments. A first number of occurrences of a first value in a first field is counted in the legacy data. A first identifier associated with the first field, the first value, and the first count are recorded as a first entry in a value data structure, the value data structure comprising a set of entries. The value data structure is analyzed to determine an aberration between the first count and a second count, wherein the second count corresponds to a second number of occurrences of a second value in the first field. The aberration at the first field of the legacy data is reported in a report.

Automated value analysis in legacy data

A method and associated system for efficiently firing mapping and transform rules during a bidirectional synchronization of two or more systems. A processor loads a set of mapping and transform synchronization rules and a set of cross-reference tables. When an event message received from a source system identifies a revision to an element of the source system's data, the processor parses the message to identify the revised source-system data. The processor uses the cross-references to identify synchronization rules that are associated with the revised data element. If any of the identified rules requires an additional source-system data element or an extrinsic data element located at an external source, the processor retrieves those further identified data elements. The processor then looks up the synchronization procedure of the identified rules, packages it into a synchronization message, and sends the message to the target system.

Efficiently firing mapping and transform rules during bidirectional synchronization

A method and associated system for managing rules that synchronize operations of a source system and a target system. A set of linked worksheets is generated as a function of the internal logic of the synchronization rules and of worksheets that represent data models of the source and target systems. These generated worksheets describe and relate data elements of the data models, extrinsic data that is stored externally to the source and target systems, and logical procedures performed by the synchronization rules. When the source data model, the target data model, or a logical procedure is revised, the linked worksheets are updated in response to the revision and these updates automatically propagate across the synchronization rules and across other components of the source system, the target system, and the synchronization mechanism.

A method and system for providing temporary storage associated with a duplication request. The method includes authenticating a user accessing a system. A service request for performing service functions is received. Specified data associated with performing service functions is received from a third party vendor and description metadata is added to the specified data. The service functions are executed using the specified data. Results of the executed service functions are generated. An additional service request for performing additional service functions is received and intercepted. The description metadata is compared to previous service requests stored in a temporary storage system.

A rotating content history controller detects a web page from a server over a network, wherein the web page comprises at least a portion of the web page specified for displaying a plurality of pages of rotating content within at least one rotating content space within the web page. The rotating content history controller stores the plurality of pages of rotating content. The rotating content history controller updates a history display interface to comprise a separate selectable option for each of the plurality of pages of rotating content. In addition, responsive to a user selection of a particular one of the separate selectable options, the rotating content history controller displays the particular page of rotating content within a web page display interface, such that a user may selectively access the rotating content independent of a web page display of the rotating content.

A computer implemented method and program product for configuring and prioritizing local network print requests. In one embodiment, a printer shared on multiple networks is configured to a set of parameters defined by an administrator for prioritizing the print requests received from users on a local network. A first print request is received from a first user on a remote network. The first print request originating from the first user on a remote network is printed. A second print request is received from a second user on a local network. A determination is made whether a match to the set of parameters is present. In response to determining a match to the set of parameters is present, the first print request is interrupted in order to print the second print request on the printer. The first print request from the remote network is resumed once the second print request from the local network is completely printed.

A calendar system enables a user to display both accepted and declined invitations to events in a same or any time slot. Declined invitations can be later recalled and have their status changed to accepted. To recall a previously declined invitation for acceptance, the declined event displayed on the calendar is opened, the status changed from declined to accepted, and the updated accepted status is sent to the sender to indicate that a previously declined event has now been accepted. Declined events are differentiated from accepted events on the calendar display by displaying the declined events on the calendar in a different color, automatically inserting and displaying a keyword such as 'DECLINED' in the subject line, displaying a subject line of declined events indented from a subject line of accepted events in the same or different time slot, displaying a different icon in front of the calendar event time slot when the event has been declined, and/or configuring the declined events with various font formats.
