Data structures are stored in an endpoint data store. Each data structure represents an endpoint having one or more components, each component having one or more arbitrary properties. Multiple groups of endpoints are identified by name and defined by group criteria expressed in terms of the one or more arbitrary properties of the one or more components of the endpoints that are members of the group. For each group, the group criteria of the group is stored in a data store in association with the name of the group. Packages and releases may be targeted to endpoints in various manners.

Groups of endpoints and targeting of releases and packages to endpoints

In some examples, a service receives releases including machine-readable instructions from different vendors, the releases for respective controller units of a vehicle. The service communicates the releases wirelessly to the vehicle to update machine-readable instructions executing on the respective controller units of the vehicle.

Updating a controller unit in a vehicle

A method at a network element for monitoring, at the network element, transactions between the network element and at least one client device; applying rules to each transaction; and performing at least one of parsing, storing, or discarding each transaction based on the rules. Further, a method at a client device including storing a session identifier; generating a transaction message; adding the session identifier and a transaction identifier to the transaction message; and sending the transaction message with the session identifier and transaction identifier to a server.

Method and system for transaction diagnostics

A method for managing software on a device is provided. The method comprises: receiving, from a third party associated with the device, by a software administrator of an organization different from the third party, release information regarding software versions for the device; creating, by the software administrator, a profile that specifies whether or not at least one of the software versions is allowed on the device; and transmitting the profile, by the software administrator to a server computer associated with the third or other parties, to promote enforcement of the profile for the device.

System and method for restricting system and application software available for installation on a managed mobile device

Transport information is to be used by an endpoint to obtain one or more packages comprised in a deployed release. The transport information is sent in a single message that identifies the deployed release and the one or more packages. The transport information may include allowed bearer settings and transport settings. Release parameters to be used by the endpoint in connection with the deployed release are determined and included in the single message. The message may include one of the packages as streamed inline content. The message may identify one of the packages via a network address of a file of that package. The message may identify one of the packages via an indication of where in local removable storage to find a file of that package, the local removable storage being local to the endpoint.

Delivery mechanisms for deployment of releases of packages to endpoints

Data structures are stored in an endpoint data store. Each data structure represents an endpoint having one or more components, each component having one or more arbitrary properties. Any packages installed on the components are represented in the data structures. Representations of the arbitrary properties within the data structure are aggregated from multiple sources, and conflict resolution methods are described.

Management of upgradeable endpoints

Methods, apparatus, and systems for electronic device recovery are disclosed. An example method includes determining that a software request received from a computing device includes an indication of a repair mode of an electronic device, determining a characteristic of the electronic device, determining software to be provided to the electronic device based on the characteristic, and in response to determining that the software request includes the indication of the repair mode, transmitting location information for the software to the computing device.
