US Classification:

707 10, 707 2, 707100, 709206, 709227

Abstract:

In a client-server computer system, an active cache is utilized by a client-based project management application program to share server-based project files with an offline client, so that the project files may be updated by modifications made offline. A project file is saved from the active cache for sharing with the offline client. The shared project file is sent to the offline client for editing. After editing, a modified project file is received from the offline client and saved to the active cache. The active cache initiates an update of the server-based project file with the project file which was modified offline.

Abstract:

Systems and methods are disclosed for providing proprietary access to a server. The disclosed systems and methods may include receiving a first service request from a client. The first service request may include a client identifier. Furthermore, the disclosed systems and methods may include creating a session identifier when it is determined that the client identifier is valid and transmitting the session identifier to the client. Moreover, the disclosed systems and methods may include receiving a second service request from the client. The second service request may include the session identifier and client data that may have at least one of a proprietary format and a proprietary scheme. In addition, the disclosed systems and methods may include servicing the second service request when it is determined that the session identifier received in the second service request is valid.

International Classification:

H04L 12/56

US Classification:

370412000

Abstract:

A queuing server is used for reliable message transport, where one subsystem desires to execute one or more ordered operations asynchronously. Messages are sent to the queue in groups, which may have one or more messages. Messages within a particular group are processed in a predetermined order. Optionally, groups of messages can marked as correlated such that all groups within a particular correlation can be processed in a predetermined order. A message can be stored in a SQL database table until processing of that message is complete. The receiving side of the message system can be scaled across multiple machines and/or across available resources of any given machine. The system can handle “disaster” scenarios on both the sending side (i.e. the sending machine crashes in the middle of sending a group), and the receiving side (i.e., a power failure causes a reboot in at least one of the receiving machines).

US Classification:

707010000

Abstract:

In a client-server computer system, an active cache is utilized by a client-based project management application program to access and manage server-based project files offline. The current status of a connection between the client and the server is monitored. If the status of the connection between the client and server is offline, project files are opened, modified, and saved to the active cache on the client. If the status of the connection between the client and server is online, project files stored in the active cache may be updated by the server prior to being opened. Changes made to project files saved to the cache are synchronized with the server.

US Classification:

705 8

Abstract:

A method is presented for creating a life cycle workflow for a project on a server computer. One or more workflow phases are created on the server computer. Each workflow phase corresponds to a plurality of workflow stages for the project. One or more workflow stages are created on the server computer. Each workflow stage corresponds to a specific sequence of workflow activities. One or more project detail pages are created on the server computer. Each project detail page is a web page that is made visible during the workflow stage. When a workflow stage is created, a workflow phase is selected to be associated with the workflow stage and one or more project detail pages are selected for the workflow stage.

Abstract:

A selection of an enterprise project type is received from a plurality of enterprise project types. The enterprise project type may include a plurality of pages. Each page may include a plurality of input fields for collecting values of properties. A project page from the enterprise project type is displayed. The project page may include a create project interface element. When a selection of the create project interface element is received, an instance of the enterprise project type is generated. The instance of the enterprise project type represents an entity, such as a project plan, an application plan, or a product plan. The pages are displayed. The values of properties are collected through the pages. The entity is generated by transforming the values of properties into the entity.
