A method for distributing code resident on a remote application server to a local server. When a client requests information, a request handler on the local server handles the request. If the information is available on the local server, the request handler satisfies the request using this information. If the information is not available locally, the request handler accesses the remote application server to obtain the requested information. The request handler forwards the information to the cli...

A system and method for summarizing metric data with a plurality of levels of varying granularity. The system preferably comprises a distributed computing environment, i.e., an enterprise, which comprises a plurality of interconnected computer systems. At least one of the computer systems is an agent computer system which collects raw data relating to one or more metrics, i.e., measurements of system resources on the agent computer system. A Universal Data Repository (UDR) receives raw metric da...

Data analysis using online data summarization processing and rule-based data characteristic detection is performed at the time the transaction data is input. Online data input through an input device of a first server is stored into a transaction data memory device. A data summarizing device carries out summarization processing of online data according to stored parameters, and the resultant summary data is stored into a summary data memory device. A data joining device joins the summary data st...

A browser-based email system has a thin client connected to a host mail server. The thin client implements a browser. The host mail server provides pages to the thin client, which can be rendered by the browser to present an email service to a user. The thin client is equipped to receive audio and video data and supports a user interface to facilitate capture of the audio or video data for inclusion in an email message. After a data stream is captured and stored locally at the client, the browse...

The present invention allows synchronization of web browsers to eliminate the need for users to convey uniform resource locators (URLs) or like location indicia. The invention operates with a local user's browser to identify the URL for a newly loaded web page and transmit this newly loaded URL to a remote user's computer for loading on the remote user's browser. Further, the invention also provides for receiving URLs associated with web pages loaded onto the remote user's browser and loading th...

A system, method and computer program product for analyzing e-commerce competition is disclosed.

The statistics are analyzed for providing ...

A computing environment includes an application server code resident on a remote application server that can be distributed by a local server. A request for information by a client is serviced by a request handler on the local application server. If the information is available on the local application server, the request handler satisfies the request. If the information is not available locally, the request handler can access the remote application server. When the information is copied to the ...
