Abstract:

A script evaluator analyzes script code and identifies possible problems with respect to given browsers and given browser versions. When configuring the parameters of analysis of the script evaluator, the user may select versions of known browsers for which support is desired. The script evaluator may point out functions in the script code that are not supported by certain versions of selected browsers. The evaluator may also suggest alternative functions that may be supported by all desired browser versions. Help information may be provided to assist the user. The script evaluator may receive browser support and help information from a library. The library may be collected from the browser software vendors or may be supplied with the script evaluator. The script evaluator may also include an editor or may be part of an existing developer tool.

US Classification:

709220, 709221, 709227

Abstract:

A method, computer program product, and data processing system for automatically configuring a networking-enabled device for use with different networks are disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, a client stores multiple configuration profiles containing configuration settings corresponding to different networks. When the client becomes connected to a network, a router or other form of server detects the addition of the client to the network. In response to the client connecting to the network, the server broadcasts an identifier over the network, which the client receives. The client uses the identifier to identify the appropriate stored configuration profile corresponding to the network. The client then completes its configuration using the identified configuration profile.

US Classification:

717122, 717123, 717140

Abstract:

A method, computer program product, and data processing system for exchanging information regarding software source code among a team of developers is disclosed. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a developer associates commentary with a particular code feature, such as a function or object class. A list of intended recipients or readers of the commentary is obtained from the developer. Additional settings regarding such things as an expiration date for the commentary are also obtained from the developer. The source code with associated commentary is then made available to the intended readers. If desired, the source code with associated commentary may be transmitted the intended recipients via e-mail or an “instant message” or other form of notification can be transmitted to the intended recipients to notify them of the commentary to be read.

International Classification:

G06F007/00

US Classification:

707/010000

Abstract:

A mechanism is provided for externalization, publication, and tracking of knowledge entries in a knowledge database. When a knowledge entry document is created, it is routed to a reviewer's work queue. If the reviewer approves the knowledge entry, it is automatically published to the knowledge base. If the reviewer rejects the knowledge entry, it is sent back to the author. The author may then make changes and resubmit the knowledge entry document or delete the knowledge entry from the system. When a knowledge entry document is published to the knowledge base, it is time stamped with an expiration date. When the knowledge entry expires, it is routed to the original author's revalidation queue. If the author accepts the knowledge entry, the expiration date is reset and the knowledge entry document is returned to the knowledge base. If the author rejects the knowledge entry, it is routed to the author's work queue. The author may then rework the document and return it or delete the knowledge entry from the system. A variety of reports may be run, depending on the implementation.

Abstract:

A context sensitive database connectivity assistance tool is provided in an integrated development environment. The user provides database information for each connection to be used in a project. The database information may include schema name, database name, username, password, port number, etc. When a user is coding a database related statement, such as a structured query language statement, the user may highlight the statement and access the database connectivity assistance tool. The assistance tool prompts a user to disambiguate table and column names. Metadata may also be provided to the user for the type of column. The user may also set values and conditions for columns in database related statements.
