Navigating within a document to a specific cursor location within an open document which a user has marked with a temporary anchor point by receiving a retrieval keystroke within the document from the user; verifying the retrieval keystroke relates to a temporary anchor point; and based on the verified retrieval keystroke, a computer moving a cursor to the location within the document at which the temporary anchor point associated with the verified retrieval keystroke is located, without additional user interaction with the open document.

Efficient temporary dynamic anchor points within and between application document(s)

A method, system and article of manufacture for database management and, more particularly, for managing multiple information management tools in a data processing system. One embodiment provides a method of managing multiple information management tools in a data processing system. The method comprises displaying, on a display device, a user interface of a toolkit configured for managing the multiple information management tools, the user interface comprising a plurality of selectable operations applicable to information management tools, receiving a user selection of an operation of the plurality of selectable operations, and applying the selected operation to at least one of the information management tools.

System and method for database management

Embodiments of the invention are generally related to computer systems, and more specifically to the analysis of defects in computer software products. Defects uncovered during software testing may be stored in a data structure as data defects, code defects, or environment defects, along with further data describing a particular nature of the defects. The defects may be analyzed to determine a particular problem area causing the defects. If a particular class of defects is determined to be the dominant class of defects encountered during testing, an analysis path of that class of defects may be followed to determine a cause for the defects in the respective class. Therefore, corrective measures tailored to resolving the defects associated with the determined cause may be taken.

Defect resolution methodology and target assessment process with a software system

Methods, systems and articles of manufacture are provided for organizing, managing and utilizing standard development templates and framework components in an application development environment. Functionality provided by embodiments of the present invention allows developers to develop applications more efficiently and cost effectively.

Standard application development template

Methods and systems for conveniently and quickly checking-out/checking-in and replicating a document record from/to a server instance of a document database to/from a local replica of the document database are provided. One embodiment provides a computer-implemented method for accessing a document record stored in a server document database system from a client system, comprising: receiving user selection of a document record from a replica database in the client system; querying the server document database system for the document record; determining whether the document record is available for check-out from the server document database system; and if the document record is available for check-out, replicating the document record to the replica database in the client system.

Method and system for automatically checking-out/in and replicating documents in databases

Method, article of manufacture and apparatus for communicating between a first system and a second system. One embodiment provides a method for communicating between a first system and a second system each having an associated database, in which at least one of the systems is configured to prevent the other of the two systems from directly accessing its respective database. Interfaces are implemented at each of the system, wherein the interfaces extract data from the respective databases of the respective systems as well as from incoming messages from the other system. In one embodiment, the message contains information about a defect found in an application being developed in the second system. Encoding and decoding techniques may be used by the systems to generate and communicate the messages between one another.

Method and apparatus for an interactive interface

Method and apparatus for managing user access to database(s), thereby reducing the time-consuming, repetitive tasks a database administrator must perform to grant user access to one or more databases. Embodiments of the invention also facilitate a database administrator in granting multiple user access of different types to multiple databases. Furthermore, embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for tracking grants of user access for multiple databases. One embodiment provides a method for managing user access to one or more databases, comprising: receiving an access request for one or more users requesting access to one or more databases; retrieving server information for the one or more databases; adding the one or more users to a user group for the database; and generating an access document for each user.
