A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product is provided for optimizing a document change or provenance scoring system by weighting sections of a document, scoring the changes for each section, and then combining the change scores for each section to generate an overall change score. An associated report may also be generated that catalogs all of the various scoring elements. The weighted score is stored in a document management system and provides a human document reviewer a level of detail to evaluate document changes. Accordingly, the weighted score reveals whether a document's changes require a brief or detailed review before the document's changes are approved for a next document version.

Document provenance scoring based on changes between document versions

Provided are techniques for linked record declaration of related content items. A graph of nodes representing content items is generated with edges connecting the nodes and representing relationships between the content items. A content item represented by a node in the graph of nodes is selected. In response to selection of the content item, the edges of the graph of nodes are traversed starting from the selected content item to identify other content items. A record is declared in a records management system for the selected content item and the identified content items. A lifecycle policy is associated with the record. The lifecycle policy is applied to the selected content item and the identified content items when processing the record.

Linked record declaration of related content items

Techniques disclosed herein provide electronic case versioning in a case management system. A request to capture a snapshot of an electronic case at a current point in time is received. The snapshot provides a record of the electronic case at the current point in time. Information associated with the electronic case at the current point in time is identified. The information is stored in an object representing the snapshot.

System implementing electronic case versioning

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, implementing and using techniques for enhancing the security of content in a records management system. A document is received to be stored as a record in the records management system. A unique combination of an encryption key and encryption parameters is selected for the document. The encryption key and encryption parameters are stored on a server that is different from a server upon which the document is to be stored in the records management system. The document is encrypted using the selected unique combination of encryption key and encryption parameters. The encrypted document is stored in the records management system.

A method, computer program product, and computer system for identifying a current amount of resources used by a computing device. A future amount of resources may be estimated for executing a trace for a subsystem of the computing device. One or more rules may be identified for executing the trace for the subsystem of the computing device, wherein the one or more rules may be based upon, at least in part, at least one of the current amount of resources used by the computing device and the future amount of resources for executing the trace for the subsystem of the computing device. It may be determined whether to execute the trace for the subsystem of the computing device based upon, at least in part, the one or more rules.

System and method for dynamic adjustment of logging

A content management system is disclosed. The system includes at least one server, non-transitory storage, documents, entity-specific section weights, and entity-specific review thresholds. The system further includes at least two client computer systems that enable a user to access a document for at least one of review or modification. The system will, in response to receipt of an indication that changes have been made to one or more sections of a document, A) determine a change value indicative of a quantity of changes made within each section, B) calculate an entity-specific provenance value by multiplying, on a section basis, the change value within each section by the assigned entity-specific weight value for each section, to produce an entity-specific section value for each section, and then summing the entity-specific section values; and C) when any entity-specific provenance value satisfies a review threshold value, to construct and send a review notification.

Entity-based document content change management system

Techniques are disclosed for managing a file stored in an enterprise content management (ECM) repository. In response to a check-out request from a client machine for a file stored in the ECM repository, a management application for an ECM system identifies ECM-related metadata associated with the file. The management application stores the ECM-related metadata into the file (or an associated file) prior to sending the file to the client. At check-in for the file, the management application identifies the location of the corresponding file in the ECM repository using the metadata previously stored in the file sent to the client.

A computer-implemented method for storing a conversation as a record in a records management server is provided. The computer-implemented method comprises, capturing one or more instant messages exchanged among a plurality of participants as a conversation. The computer-implemented method further comprises, storing the conversation as a record in a records management system, in response to a determination that the conversation meets a predetermined criteria.

Context-based storage of a conversation of one or more instant messages as a record

Provided are techniques for verifying application compatibility, comprising providing a configuration knowledge server (CKS) to store information about configuration issues; detecting, by a configuration checking agent (CCA), a reconfiguration of a computing system; signaling, by the CCA, a configuration checking service (CCS), in response to the detecting; in response to the signaling, requesting, by the CCS, a compatibility report, from the CKS, about potential configuration issues with respect to the reconfiguration; transmitting the compatibility report from the CKS to the CCS; parsing, by the CCS, the compatibility report to identify a compatibility issue with respect to the reconfiguration; and in response to identifying the compatibility issue, dynamically performing an action to mitigate the compatibility issue.

Configuration checker for application

A method of providing for review of changes within documents involves storing an entity-specific weight value for each of multiple sections of a document, receiving an indication that changes have thereafter been made to one or more sections of the document, determining a change value indicative of a quantity of changes made within each section of the document, separately for at least each entity that is not the one that made the changes, calculating an entity-specific provenance value by multiplying the change value within each section by the assigned entity-specific weight value for each section, to produce an entity-specific section value for each section, and summing the entity-specific section values. The method further involves comparing the entity-specific provenance value against the respective entity's stored review threshold value, and when an entity-specific provenance value satisfies an entity's review threshold value, constructing and sending a review notification to that entity.

Embodiments of the invention may provide an approach for managing electronic records in a content management system. The content management system may use a container structure to create, edit, and manage electronic records in a coordinated way. The container structure may include a master container and a plurality of sub-containers. An associated method generally may include receiving a request comprising a record and one or more properties associated with the record; determining, from the one or more properties associated with the record, a date; based on the date of the record, associating the record with a sub-container of the container structure; and managing disposition of the sub-container based on an associated policy.
