Disclosed is a data processing system implemented method, a data processing system and an article of manufacture for testing accessibility of a data processing system program according to accessibility criteria. The data processing system program includes a plurality of objects, at least one object of the plurality of objects usable as a user interface between the data processing system program and a user. The data processing system implemented method includes identifying the at least one object of the data processing system program pertaining to the user interface, determining if the identified at least one object satisfies the accessibility criteria by examining an accessibility description for the identified at least one object, and producing an indication that the identified at least one object does not satisfy the accessibility criteria if the identified object does not contain an accessibility description.

Method, system and program for testing accessibility in data processing system programs

Virtual solution architecture for computer data systems. In one aspect, providing an architecture for a computer data system includes creating a virtual solution architecture that includes a plurality of building blocks, each building block characterized by balanced operation, and mapping the virtual solution architecture to a physical solution architecture for the computer data system. Another aspect includes providing at least one balanced configuration unit (BCU) in a computer data system, the BCU including at least one balanced partition unit (BPU) that includes computer resources to provide balanced operation for the BPU.

Computer data systems implemented using a virtual solution architecture

Disclosed herein are a data processing system implemented method, a data processing system and an article of manufacture for managing a plurality of data processing system executable tasks each having a script associated therewith. The data processing system includes a task selector for selecting, from the plurality of computer executable tasks, a selection of tasks, a script selector for selecting scripts, the selected scripts associated with the selected selection of tasks, and a script editor for editing the selected scripts, the edited selected scripts being executable by the data processing system.

Method, system and program for managing executable tasks

A system and method for testing a database system which includes external file references to files stored on a remote file system. A control table within the database management system which enables controlled but random access to files on the remote file system that are accessed through external file references. A tool within the remote file system maintains the control table and creates, deletes and exercises the test files within the external file system. Triggers on base tables within the database management system are used to maintain the integrity of the control table.

Method and means for evaluating the performance of a database system referencing files external to the database system
