Modifying image templates based on recognition of fields (zones). A template is created based on a first form and, upon application of the template to a second form, fields of the template are modified to align with fields of the second form.

Recognition of fields to modify image templates

A method, system, and computer usable program product-for context aware data protection are provided. Information about an access context is received in a data processing system. A resource affected by the access context is identified. The identification of the resource may include deriving knowledge about resource by making an inference from a portion of contents of the resource that the access context affects the resource, making an inference that the access context affects a second resource thereby inferring that the resource has to be modified, determining that the access context is relevant to the resource, or a combination thereof. The resource is received. A policy that is applicable to the access context is identified. A part of the resource to modify according to the policy is determined. The part is modified according to the policy and the access context to form a modified resource. The modified resource is transmitted.

Context aware data protection

An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for provisioning storage resources according to a modeling policy. The modeling apparatus includes a monitoring module, a policy module, and a provisioning module. The monitoring module monitors the storage resources on the storage system. The policy module stores and maintains storage management, storage provisioning, and storage resource modeling policies. A user may access and specify these policies via a specification module. The provisioning module automatically provisions new storage resources, such as logical unit numbers (LUNs) according to the storage provisioning policies and modeling policies. The modeling policy defines a modeling strategy by which new storage resources are provisioned to include some or all of the attributes of a model storage resource.

Apparatus, system, and method for modeling for storage provisioning

A method is disclosed to efficiently manage membership within a hierarchical data structure. A record module is included to create a record that includes a member identifier, a member type, and an ancestor list for a member of a hierarchical data structure. The member type identifies the member as resource or a group comprising at least one resource, and the ancestor list comprises group identifiers ordered to represent a hierarchical relationship between the member and a top-level group. A storage module is included that stores the record in a collection. A reference module is included that references the record in response to accessing the member of the hierarchical data structure.
