A computer method and apparatus for selecting version of a software program artifact includes history means and processor means. The history means indicate (a) a baseline version of each artifact in a given plurality of artifacts forming a subject software program configuration, and (b) respective change-set information per artifact. Different change sets correspond to different versions of the artifacts. The processor means determine version of an artifact in the subject software program configuration using the indicated baseline versions and change-set information. The processor means enable the configuration management system to display the determined version of the artifact to a user.

A data processing system and method features an object selector including an auditor for recording, as an audit record, which versions of objects are accessed by a processor during a data processing process. Each derived object is associated with an audit record. A system build process starts the auditor prior to executing commands which produce derived objects, and stops the auditor when those commands are completed. The process also includes any arbitrary sequence of commands. An audit cache memory stores the most recent audit entries made by the auditor while producing an audit record. A linker is also provided for linking a common identifying label to each object version whose identity is recorded as an entry in an audit record associated with the identifying label. An audit record comparator is provided for determining the difference between source object versions used in building two or more derived object versions.

A data processing system and method for controlling versions of data, features a processor, a storage device for storing versions of objects, and an object version selector for providing the processor with access only to specific versions of target data objects as determined by a set of selection rules. The selection rules are evaluated for an object when that object is accessed by the processor. The version selector includes a means for viewing the selected versions of the target objects as a transparent file system having directories, files, and links. The version selector applies the existing version selection rules to newly created objects, and can also store the identity of a selected object version in a cache memory. The version selection rules include a rule for selecting that version of an object that was the most recent version of that object at a specific time in the past, and a rule for selecting that version of an object that was the most recent version of that object at the specific time that a process requiring that object began. The time that the process began is adjusted to compensate for time skew among the storage devices storing the required objects.

Among other aspects disclosed are a method and system for processing a batch of input data in a fault tolerant manner. The method includes reading a batch of input data including a plurality of records from one or more data sources and passing the batch through a dataflow graph. The dataflow graph includes two or more nodes representing components connected by links representing flows of data between the components. At least one but fewer than all of the components includes a checkpoint process for an action performed for each of multiple units of work associated with one or more of the records. The checkpoint process includes opening a checkpoint buffer stored in non-volatile memory at the start of processing for the batch. For each unit of work from the batch, if a result from performing the action for the unit of work was previously saved in the checkpoint buffer, the saved result is used to complete processing of the unit of work without performing the action again. If a result from performing the action for the unit of work is not saved in the checkpoint buffer.

Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to software configuration management and provide a method, system and apparatus for producing audited builds based on separate class dependency records. In one embodiment, a software configuration management tool can be provided which can include build-audit logic programmed to produce separate configuration records for each target object in a build. Each configuration record can include a direct dependency reference for a corresponding target object. Moreover, each configuration record can include version information for a corresponding target object. Finally, the software configuration management tool can include a versioned object base storing different versions of source files and derived objects built from the source files.

A graph-based computation has a plurality of nodes representing graph components connected by one or more links representing data flows between the components. Preparing the computation includes: identifying at least a first set of components to process a plurality of transactions in the computation; and associating with a first transaction a first group of one or more data records and data operations corresponding to the data records, and associating with a second transaction a second group of one or more data records and data operations corresponding to the data records. Executing the computation to process at least the first and second transactions includes delaying execution by the first set of components of a data operation corresponding to an initial data record of the second group until after execution by the first set of components of a data operation corresponding to a final data record of the first group.

Computer method and apparatus for managing configurations of programming models is disclosed. A software development workspace respective to a user holds a programming model configuration specified by the user. The configuration is formed of one or more model elements. For each user workspace, one or more change-flow hierarchies define flow of changes to model elements.
