A method is provided for recording purchase transactions, including: receiving a purchase order request that is associated with a purchase order, the purchase order request being received from a purchaser-side system, the purchase order request including purchase information identifying a product, a product quantity, and a first order identifier that is assigned to the purchase order by the purchaser-side system; generating a transaction document in response to the purchase order request, including the purchase information into the transaction document, and recording the transaction document in a document sharing platform or shared cryptographically protected ledger; and progressively updating the transaction document with information provided by the purchaser-side system and a seller-side system as the purchase order is being fulfilled, wherein each update to the transaction document is recorded in the cryptographically protected ledger.

Techniques are provided for feature toggle management with application behavior point-in-time restoration using event sourcing. One method comprises maintaining feature toggle events for features of an application, wherein each feature toggle event comprises an indication of an event time of the respective feature toggle event for a given feature; receiving a request to execute the application with feature toggle settings associated with an indicated point-in-time; and initiating an execution of the application with the feature toggle settings associated with the indicated point-in-time by processing the feature toggle events having an event time up to the indicated point-in-time. Event sourcing techniques may be employed to store the plurality of feature toggle events for the plurality of features in an event repository. The application may consume the feature toggle events having an event time up to the indicated point-in-time and may ignore the feature toggle events having an event time after the indicated point-in-time.

A method, system and computer-usable medium are disclosed for implementing a machine learning system for using adaptive interrupts to control notifications to a user. In at least one embodiment, a computer-implemented method for adaptively interrupting a user with communication notifications at an information handling system is disclosed, including: receiving a communication for a user at the information handling system; intercepting a notification relating to the received communication; assessing a degree of importance of the notification using contextual information associated with the notification; assessing a degree of busyness of the user at the information handling system by actively monitoring interactions between the user and the information handling system; and selectively interrupting the user with the notification based on the busyness of the user at the information handling system and the degree of importance of the notification.

System using adaptive interrupts for controlling notifications to a user

A method and an information handling system (IHS) transform an initial message having an identified protocol format to an encapsulated message having an advanced message queuing protocol (AMQP) format. A dynamic message brokering (DMB) module interacts with an AMQP client application to generate a binding key and a routing key corresponding to message attributes of the initial message. The DMB module dynamically applies one or more of the binding key and the routing key to respective programming command modules, including a provider module, to generate an AMQP client message which is forwarded to an AMQP server. The AMQP server creates a queue for messages having attributes that are identifiable within the received client message, and uses the binding key to bind the queue to a specified exchange. The AMQP server routes the received client message to the queue, using the routing key, enabling subscribers to retrieve the messages.

A method for testing a distributed application. The method includes receiving the automation test code and initiating execution of the automation test code. A responsive event provided by at least one distributed application node, in response to execution of the automation test code is detected. One or more messages having a specified routing key are received as the responsive event. A queue for receiving the one or more messages generated on an advanced message queuing protocol message broker. A test context specific binding key having a known entity identifier and the specified routing key is selectively generated to form a bind between the queue and an established exchange. The one or more messages having a payload that selectively indicates the nature of the state change associated with the predetermined distributed event type are received at the queue. The one or more messages are selectively provided to a requesting device having access to the queue.

A method and information handling system (IHS) converts a globally unique identifier to an electronic data interchange document identifier. The method includes receiving a globally unique identifier and converting the globally unique identifier into 128 binary bits. The 128 binary bits are selectively separated to form groups of bits that translate to integers. Each integer is replaced with an assigned alphanumeric character selected from an alphanumeric character map to form an encoded alphanumeric string of characters for use as an electronic data interchange document identifier.

Methods, apparatus and computer program products are provided for the visualization of software execution. One method comprises: generating, using a static code analysis, a data flow diagram illustrating a plurality of possible code execution paths of software code; marking, using an execution profiler, a particular execution path through the data flow diagram for a specific execution scenario; and enriching one or more nodes in the data flow diagram marked with the particular execution path for the specific execution scenario with information extracted from one or more application logs. The marked data flow diagram may be enriched, for example, by extracting a particular portion of a log file and tagging a corresponding portion of the data flow diagram with the extracted particular portion of the log file. The extracted log information may comprise, for example, a timestamp, a log category, a software module name, a function name and/or contextual information.
