Provided are techniques for optimized content object storage service for large scale content. A content object file is created. An index entry for the content object file is created with a content object key and a content object location. The content object file is appended to an aggregated file on a storage node. In response to a request to retrieve the content object file from the aggregated file, the content object key is used to access the content object location that describes the storage node, a name of the aggregated file, an offset into the aggregated file, and a size of the content object file to retrieve the content object file.

Optimized content object storage service for large scale content

Technical solutions are described to implement a scalable write ahead log using a distributed file system. A general aspect includes a method for providing consistency among metadata replicas and content in an enterprise content management cluster. The method includes recording a transaction log entry in response to receiving a content modification request, the transaction log entry including a version identifier set to a first version value. The method also includes updating the transaction log entry to a second version value in response to successfully modifying content and one of a plurality of metadata replicas containing metadata corresponding to the request. The method also includes updating the transaction log entry to a third version value in response to successfully modifying each of the metadata replicas. The present document further describes examples of other aspects such as methods, computer products.

Scalable enterprise content management

Provided are a method, system, and article of manufacture for selecting a resource manager to satisfy a service request. A catalog indicating a plurality of resource managers and at least one service offered by the resource managers is provided. Further provided is resource manager information indicating resource availability information for resource managers offering at least one service. A request for a requested service from a subscriber is received. The catalog is processed to identify resource managers publishing the requested service and the resource manager information is processed to determine at least one identified resource manager publishing the requested service that also satisfies at least one rule applicable to the service request.

Selecting a resource manager to satisfy a service request

A system and method for providing on demand access to information related to a movie while the movie is being presented to a user, where the movie was generated from the movie related information, are described. The system operates by presenting the movie to the user, and then receiving from the user a query pertaining to the movie. The system determines a frame of the movie that was being presented to the user when the user issued the query (the system may extract this information from the query, or may extract this information from the movie itself). The system identifies, as specified by the query, portions of the movie related information relating to the frame, and retrieves those portions of the movie related information. These retrieved portions of the movie related information are presented to the user. Also discussed is a manager to enable users to create personalized versions of movies, and personalized collections of items. Also discussed is a system and method for providing to users on demand access to merchandise information related to a movie, and for providing on demand connectivity to merchants, while the movie is being presented to the users.

A method and system are provided for controlling a client's access to a protected element, in which the protected element is contained in a protected resource which includes a data manager. The invention provides efficient access control for existing data elements while requiring only minimal changes to existing software components. In response to a request for access to the protected element the data manager sends an authorization checking request to a protecting resource. The protecting resource, which is in a distributed arrangement with the protected resource, determines, based on an access control element which can be associated with one or more protected elements, whether the client has permission to be provided the requested access to the protected element. It then sends an access control message (e.g. YES/NO) to the data manager based on the determination, and optionally send explanatory information if access is denied. Access to the protected element is provided or denied based on that message. The protected element can be a file, a data block within a database, an object, method or object-method in an object-oriented system.
