20110016348 | System and method for bridging assets to network nodes on multi-tiered networks - An exemplary method and/or exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a system and method for bridging an asset over a multi-tiered network. Generally, communications can be maintained between executable assets residing on different network nodes by bridging the execution context of the two nodes. In an embodiment, a mapping layer can be generated for assets that have run-time dependencies; the mapping layer uses a distribution system to bridge the execution context of a first environment with that of a second environment. The asset executing in the first environment can access another resource located in the second environment, even though the asset does not have local access to the resource in the second environment. A fault is detected when at least one asset deployed on a local node attempts to access at least one resource on a remote node through an application programming interface. The fault is then handled appropriately. | 01-20-2011 |
20110099256 | Method and system for deploying an asset over a multi-tiered network - A method for distributing changes to digital assets across a network includes determining an asset type of a first digital asset and comparing the first digital asset to a prior digital asset to determine one or more deltas, the prior digital asset being a prior version of the first digital asset and the delta being a difference between the first digital asset and the prior digital asset. The method further includes evaluating the one or more of the deltas with one or more criteria to determine if the one or more delta assets should be created, the delta asset being a second digital asset containing the respective delta, the criteria determined by the asset type. The method further includes that if the delta meets the criteria, creating the delta asset, and marking the delta asset as a first delta asset of the first digital asset. | 04-28-2011 |
20110137934 | System and method for distributing assets to multi-tiered network nodes - Provided are methods and systems for distributing an asset to a multi-tiered network node. A pending notice is received from a distribution server. If the notice indicates that at least one asset is pending, i.e., awaiting deployment, an asset descriptor manifest is received from the distribution server. The asset descriptor manifest, which is stored in a memory on a node, identifies at least one asset to be deployed to the node and includes an offset associated with the asset identifier. A fragment, associated with the asset, is received and stored in the memory. The offset associated with the asset is marked with the end of the fragment and a second fragment, beginning at the offset, is received. Additional fragments are received, and the offset updated, until the entire asset is deployed to the node. Alternately, the entire asset or multiple assets are received in the first fragment. | 06-09-2011 |
20110137935 | Server system and method for exporting digital assets in enterprise information systems - Member objects of a computer system part(s) in an Enterprise Information System (EIS) are identified and categorized for export to a packaging process or to another computer system over tiers of network(s). An intermediate representation of the part(s) is made while applying context rule(s) to determine a standard specified context or a non-specified context of the parts. For a standard specified context, a directed search acquires the set of runnable and/or non-runnable member objects in a location(s) in the EIS. For a non-specified context, an implicit traversal search is performed for any of the set of runnable and/or non-runnable member objects in one or more locations in an Enterprise Information System (EIS). Set(s) of runnable and/or non-runnable member objects are accessed at their locations in the EIS and a preliminary package specification is made therefrom. Digital assets listed therein are updated with export descriptors added to the extended environment. | 06-09-2011 |
20110137949 | System, method, and data structure for packaging assets for processing and distribution on multi-tiered networks - The present invention provides a system, method, and data structure for packaging assets for processing and distribution over a multi-tiered network. An asset may represent network and/or application components (e.g., data, objects, applications, program modules, etc.) that may be distributed among the various resources of the network. In an embodiment, the package structure includes at least one representation of an asset having a logic/data portion and an asset extended environment portion, and a package extended environment that includes package information associated with at least one asset. | 06-09-2011 |
20110137953 | System and method for transactional and fault-tolerant distribution of digital assets over multi-tiered computer networks - Provided herein is a system and computer program product for distributing at least one infrastructure description record (IDR) over at least one tier of a network. The system includes at least one network interface that receives the infrastructure description records (IDRs) and the IDRs being enqueued on at least one incoming, transactional, persistent queue (ITPQ), at least one transactional, persistent store, and at least one transactional process that dequeues the IDR from the ITPQ and accesses the IDR to create an accessed IDR, the accessed IDR being stored in the transactional, persistent store in the system. | 06-09-2011 |
20120005166 | System and method for transactional deployment of J2EE web components, enterprise java bean components, and application data over multi-tiered computer networks - Provided is a computer system and method for transactional deployment of component(s) over a multi-tier network with J2EE application server program(s) stored on a memory(ies) of the system and which are executed by a central processing unit(s) (CPUs). A J2EE application(s) can be executed by the J2EE application servers, and a J2EE application container(s) are contained within each J2EE application server. Each J2EE application container contains a J2EE application container component(s) and a Java EJB container(s) or Java web containers are contained within each J2EE application container. A J2EE component(s) are delivered to the J2EE application server over one or more tiers of the network. There are one or more logical connections to one or more databases located on the network. This defines a sphere of control managing transactional deployment of the delivered J2EE component(s) and an update of the database to keep the data consistent with the J2EE application. | 01-05-2012 |
20120005205 | Server system and method for discovering digital assets in enterprise information systems - Member object(s) of a computer system part(s) in an Enterprise Information System (EIS) are identified (discovered) and topographical relationship(s) are established among them to create digital assets by traversing computer file system(s) to find member object(s). For each member object found, a digital asset identifier thereof is placed in an intermediate representation, such as a graph with nodes and edges. Each digital asset identifier corresponds to a node. The edges represent the topographical relationship. A digital asset is created by placing the member object in a logic/data section of the digital asset, attaching an extended environment data structure to the logic/data section and storing the digital asset in an asset inventory container object. This is repeated for each found member object until the intermediate representation fully describes the computer system part and the asset inventory container object is a complete inventory of the digital assets in the computer system part. | 01-05-2012 |
