Provisioning capacity measuring may be provided. First, a provisioning monitoring job may run on a grid manager that spawns a plurality of farm monitoring jobs onto a respective plurality of farms. Next, a user count for each of the respective plurality of farms may be respectively provided. The user count may comprise a number of users on each of the respective plurality of farms. An event alert may be provided when the user count for any of the respective plurality of farms is greater than a threshold.

Measuring provisioning capacity across distributed systems

Retrieving stored data using a web service is provided. An access request from a user account may be received at a web service via a proxy. The web service may decode information received in the access request. The web service may then authorize the user account utilizing the decoded information. The web service may then determine a request type based on the access request. The web service may then send a response based on the determined request type, which is based on data retrieved from a data store.

Systems and methods are disclosed for providing proprietary access to a server. The disclosed systems and methods may include receiving a first service request from a client. The first service request may include a client identifier. Furthermore, the disclosed systems and methods may include creating a session identifier when it is determined that the client identifier is valid and transmitting the session identifier to the client. Moreover, the disclosed systems and methods may include receiving a second service request from the client. The second service request may include the session identifier and client data that may have at least one of a proprietary format and a proprietary scheme. In addition, the disclosed systems and methods may include servicing the second service request when it is determined that the session identifier received in the second service request is valid.

Methods and systems for providing proprietary access to a server

In a client-server computer system, an active cache is utilized by a client-based project management application program to share server-based project files with an offline client, so that the project files may be updated by modifications made offline. A project file is saved from the active cache for sharing with the offline client. The shared project file is sent to the offline client for editing. After editing, a modified project file is received from the offline client and saved to the active cache. The active cache initiates an update of the server-based project file with the project file which was modified offline.

Active cache offline sharing of project files

A queuing server is used for reliable message transport, where one subsystem desires to execute one or more ordered operations asynchronously. Messages are sent to the queue in groups, which may have one or more messages. Messages within a particular group are processed in a predetermined order. Optionally, groups of messages can marked as correlated such that all groups within a particular correlation can be processed in a predetermined order. A message can be stored in a SQL database table until processing of that message is complete. The receiving side of the message system can be scaled across multiple machines and/or across available resources of any given machine. The system can handle 'disaster' scenarios on both the sending side (i.e. the sending machine crashes in the middle of sending a group), and the receiving side (i.e., a power failure causes a reboot in at least one of the receiving machines).
