An integrated calendar-phone mail system accepts input from a workstation to a calendar or to a voice-mail program periodically updating the phone mail data with new data from the calendar and updating the calendar data with new data from the phone mail.

Integrated calendar and phonemail system

A method, apparatus, and computer implemented instructions for the automatic migration of applications and their associated data and configuration files from a source data processing system to a destination data processing system. A data store containing meta data regarding files associated with the application is queried in which the data store includes meta data describing the files accessed by the application. A result is received in response to querying the data store in which the associations are maintained. Copying of the files from the source data processing system to the destination data processing system using the result is initiated.

Method and apparatus for the automatic migration of applications and their associated data and configuration files

A method, apparatus, and computer implemented instructions for tracking relationships between programs and data in a data processing system. A file access request is received from a program, wherein the request is received at an operating system level. An association is stored between the file and the program.

Method for tracking relationships between specified file name and particular program used for subsequent access in a database

A method and apparatus for a computer graphics rendering system which slices the traditional geometry pipeline into two phases to improve overall graphics system utilization is described. The graphics system consists of a host processor and a graphics adapter. The host creates work items and feeds them to the graphics adapter. In the two phase method, the first phase computes the clipping status and immediately returns this status information, before completion of the actual clipping, to the application running on the host processor to minimize stalling the host processor and hence the application. The second phase performs the rest of the work necessary to draw the objects on the screen. The advantage of two phase method is that the host processor minimizes its wait (but only for model/view transformation and clipping status determination) for a return status from the graphics adapter for the current work item and gets to create the next work item from the application sooner.

Methods, systems and computer program products which provide for communicating with a web browser executing on a remote/mobile processing system which is temporarily and intermittently connected to a second computer by storing in a persistent request queue at the second computer, a request from the web browser to a server application accessible to the second computer. Also disclosed are methods, systems and computer program products which allow for operation and management of asynchronous operations of a web browser where the operations are carried out by a server-side intercept module.

Server-side asynchronous form management

Methods, systems and computer program products are provided for communicating with a web browser executing on a remote/mobile processing system which is temporarily and intermittently connected to a second computer. According to the present invention, requests from the web browser to a server application accessible to the second computer are stored in a persistent request queue at the remote/mobile processing system. An interim response is provided to the web browser in response to the request from the client application. The stored request may be recalled to allow user modification of the stored request prior to the request being provided to the second computer for transmission to the server application.
