Nested recovery scope management systems and methods for a multiple process computer system having a dynamic multiple address space server are disclosed. Stateless recovery agents are employed, under the control of a supervisory program called Recovery Director, during initialization or restart of servers to restore recoverable data in response to identified failures or other abnormal termination. The Director controls the recovery of protected resources in a systematic manner. The Director is initialized when a first address space of a first server is started. Then, as each instance of a recoverable component is initialized, the component registers with the Director by providing a reference to a stateless recovery agent that can later perform recovery functions for it if needed. As part of the registration, a token representing the current failure scope of the registration is generated and provided to the recoverable component by the Director. Work identifiers representing recoverable operations can be generated from or associated with this token by the recoverable component and may be put in hardened storage. Upon initialization of a new server region, and also upon a failure or abnormal termination, the Director groups multiple instances of the same recoverable component together, formulates an iterative recovery plan, and determines the scope of recovery by examining its hardened data for failure scopes involving a recoverable component that may need to perform some recovery operation. As such recoverable components are identified, the Director references the associated recovery agent, provides it with appropriate token as to the recovery scope. The recovery agent is then allowed to carry out those recoveries, including any recovery scopes nested within.

A method and system for handling errors and exceptions in an ERP environment are disclosed. According to one aspect of the present invention, a condition or event causes a script-engine associated with a particular ERP server to generate an error message. The error message is communicated to a centralized controller-node. The centralized controller-node analyzes the message and determines the best course of action for handling an error or exception related to the error message. Based on the controller node's analysis, the controller node communicates a response message, thereby enabling the process that caused the error to continue without terminating abnormally.

A scalable and fault tolerant finite state machine engine, for example, for use in an automated incident management system, logs or records data in persistent storage at different points or levels during various internal processing of an event associated with an information technology element, and action taken associated with the event, by executing a finite state machine instance that encodes policies for handling incidents on such types of information technology elements. In the event that the finite state machine engine is shutdown during processing, the finite state machine engine is able to pick up from where it left off when it was shutdown, for each abnormally terminated finite state machine instance, by using the data logged in the persistent storage and determining a point of processing from where it should continue its execution.

There are provided a method and apparatus for defending a Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack through abnormally terminated sessions. The DDoS attack defending apparatus includes: a session tracing unit configured to parse collected packets, to extract header information from the collected packets, to trace one or more abnormally terminated sessions corresponding to one of pre-defined abnormally terminated session cases, based on the header information, and then to count the number of the abnormally terminated sessions; and an attack detector configured to compare the number of the abnormally terminated sessions to a predetermined threshold value, and to determine whether a DDoS attack has occurred, according to the results of the comparison. Therefore, it is possible to significantly reduce a false-positive rate of detection of a DDoS attack and the amount of computation for detection of a DDoS attack.

The embodiment of the invention discloses a media recording method and a device thereof. The media recording method comprises the following steps: periodically generating media index information according to current written media data blocks in the media recording course, and storing the generated media index information. By the technical proposal of the invention, media data which are stored before stopping recording can be normally played even if a storage space change exceeds expectation to cause recording to be abnormally stopped if a terminal further executes other writing tasks while recording the media, which ensures the robustness of the media recording task. Furthermore, a period for generating the index information can also be dynamically adjusted according to the size of the available space in the recording process, for example, the period is shortened when the available space is smaller than a preset threshold, that is, the frequency for generating the index information is increased, thus the available space can be used as much as possible to store more effective media data.
