A method, computer program product, and a computer system, to store information related to changed data in response to a transaction with a first database of the on-line system requested during a planned period and data in the first database changed by the transaction. In response to a planned event a back-up system with a second database is switched to set up a new connection and a new transaction with the second database, wherein the second database is backup of the first database. The on-line system prevents setting up a new connection to the on-line system and prevents conducting a new transaction with the first database, sends information related to the changed data from the on-line system to the back-up system, and switches to the back-up system for a new connection and for a new transaction. The on-line system synchronizes data between the first database and the second database.

Service outage time reduction for a planned event in a system

Flexible utilization of capacity to provide computing services mediated by a service broker. The service broker receives a request from a first party for assistance with a service workload as well as an indication from a second party of a willingness to provide service. The service broker matches the parties with each other based at least in part on the capacity of the second party to service the service workload of the first party, manages offloading of the service workload from first party to the second party, and manages billing of a workload provider (such as the first party or the first party's customer) for the offloading engagement.

According to embodiments, method, systems, and computer program products are provided for a web server transmitting a response to an access request. An access request for a web application program deployed on a web server is received, where a response corresponding to the access request is composed with a script. A test script is transmitted. A response time of the test script is received. The response time includes a time that the test script is executed in a browser of a client and a time that the test script is transferred over a network. Different responses are transmitted to different types of scripts included in the response corresponding to the access request in accordance with the response time of the test script.

Method and system for a web server transmitting a response to an access request

Maintaining and supplying a plurality of speech models is provided. A plurality of speech models and metadata for each speech model are stored. A query for a speech model is received from a source. The query includes one or more conditions. The speech model with metadata most closely matching the supplied one or more conditions is determined. The determined speech model is provided to the source. A refined speech model is received from the source, and the refined speech model is stored.
