Embodiments include devices, systems, methods, and articles of manufacture that facilitate sending notices that a previously identified malfunctioning link or pointer has been restored or otherwise rendered useable. Embodiments can include systems with a registry wherein when a user discovers that a link is not functioning properly the registry may register the malfunctioning link, may facilitate further queries of the malfunctioning link, and may provide updates to one or more user portals that the previously malfunctioning link or pointer is no longer malfunctioning.

Notice of restored malfunctioning links

A method for dynamic tagging includes receiving input of a name of at least one tag into an information object implemented by an application that is executed by a computer system that is in communication with at least one tag repository external to the application; querying the at least one tag repository for the tag with the application executed by the computer system; and responsive to receiving at least one match from the at least one tag repository, incorporating the content into the information object with the application.

Dynamic tagging

Systems, devices, methods, and articles of manufacture employing repair modules are provided. The modules may be automatically deployed in conjunction with dependency mechanisms upon identifying a malfunctioning application. The modules may be specifically tailored for certain diagnosis or repair and may be selected for deployment to a second application using information regarding the malfunction of a first application.

Self-healing failover using a repository and dependency management system

The present invention provides the ability to enable a special view of source code in which the textual name of classes, variables, methods and object instances can be replaced with graphical symbols. A method of displaying computer source code according to the present invention comprises assigning unique graphical symbols to a plurality of corresponding textual names of source code classes, methods, and variables, replacing the plurality of textual names of the classes, methods, and variables with the corresponding assigned unique graphical symbols, and displaying the source code with the unique graphical symbols in place of the corresponding textual names of the classes, methods, and variables.

Enhancing source code debugging and readability using visual symbols

The present invention can include a solution for optimizing the handling of source code requests by a software configuration management (SCM) system by using projected ancillary data. When a SCM system receives a request for a source code file from a software integrated development environment (IDE), ancillary data can be projected for the requested source code file. Ancillary data can represent supplementary source code files and/or a revision update for an existing source code file. The projected ancillary data can be appended to a response message that already contains the requested source code file. The response message can then be sent to the software IDE.

Optimizing the handling of source code requests between a software configuration management (SCM) system and a software integrated development environment (IDE) using projected ancillary data

In an email message method and system, an email server receives at least one user-defined constraint for a first email message, where the user-defined constraint comprises at least one of an expected format and expected content of a reply email message. The email server associates the at least one user-defined constraint with the first email message and sends the first email message to a recipient. In response to receiving the reply email message, the email server validates the reply email message against the at least one user-defined constraint.

Enforcing conformance in email content

A method and system are provided for managing email threads. The method includes receiving a plurality of separate email threads. The method further includes generating associations between at least two email threads of the plurality of separate email threads. The method further includes displaying the associations of the at least two email threads. As a result, users can conveniently view the associated email threads and perform operations on particular email threads.
