A method, apparatus, system, article of manufacture, and computer readable storage medium enable a dual modeling environment. A client application is created that has proxy modules. Each of the proxy modules is a light weight version of a corresponding precise module in a server application. Commands are executed in the client application to produce client output data. The same commands are transmitted to the server application that is executed concurrently with and independent from the client application and produces server output data. The client output data is synchronized with the server output data.

Dual modeling environment in which commands are executed concurrently and independently on both a light weight version of a proxy module on a client and a precise version of the proxy module on a server

A method, apparatus, system, article of manufacture, and computer-readable storage medium provide the ability to dynamically modify a distributed computing system workflow. A grid application dynamically receives configuration information including business rules that describe execution profiles. Channels based on the one or more execution profiles are defined. Each channel is configured to execute a work request in a distributed grid compute system (based on an execution profile). A first work request is received from a requestor and includes an identity of the requestor. The first work request is evaluated and the identity of the requestor is applied to direct the first work request to the appropriate channel.

Scalable distributed compute based on business rules

A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture provide the ability to edit in-place a ZIP&#x2122; archive file. A file and a first file block (FFB) in a first block location are opened and modified. If the first block location can accommodate the modified FFB, the modified FFB is saved, in-place, in the first block location without rewriting the entire archive. However, if the first block location cannot accommodate the modified FFB, a second file block is copied from a second block location to a third block location located at an end of a file data section of the archive. A portion of the second block location is marked as a free block and the modified FFB is saved without rewriting the entire ZIP&#x2122; archive. The archive is then saved by updating and saving both the central directory and end of central directory.
