Error Reporting Manager Coordinates Multiple Managed Runtimes
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In computing environments where multiple managed runtimes operate concurrently, the lack of cooperation between them leads to poor error reporting, resulting in multiple error reports, only one of which is useful, misleading investigations, and a poor user experience.
Innovation Solution
An error reporting manager coordinates error reporting among managed runtimes without requiring them to be aware of each other, ensuring at most one error report is generated by the failing runtime, addressing the issue in a manner independent of the operating system facilities.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If multiple managed runtimes independently attempt to report errors when one fails, then each runtime can report its own error, but multiple error reports are generated with only one being useful
Solution Approach 1:
An error reporting manager is introduced as an intermediary component that coordinates error reporting among multiple managed runtimes. This manager receives error reports from various runtimes and controls which errors are actually generated and sent to the error reporting service, preventing duplicate or misleading error reports while ensuring accurate error information is conveyed.
Solution Approach 2:
The error reporting manager implements a feedback mechanism where it receives error reports from managed runtimes, processes this information, and controls the final error report generation. This feedback loop allows the system to learn which errors are relevant and suppress redundant reports, improving the quality of error information without increasing the quantity of reports.
2Adaptability or versatility
If managed runtimes do not communicate directly with each other, then each runtime operates independently, but error reports may be misleading or incomplete
Solution Approach 1:
The error reporting manager serves as a mediator that collects error information from independent managed runtimes and synthesizes comprehensive error reports. This intermediary preserves runtime independence while ensuring that error reports contain complete and accurate context information by aggregating data from multiple runtimes before presentation to the user or investigation system.
3Reliability
If the operating system is modified to include coordinated error reporting facilities, then error reporting can be improved, but the system requires specific OS modifications
Solution Approach 1:
The error reporting manager is implemented as a self-contained component that can operate within the existing operating system without requiring modifications to the OS itself. The manager handles error reporting coordination autonomously, collecting information from managed runtimes and generating appropriate error reports using standard system mechanisms, thereby eliminating the need for complex OS-level changes.

AI summary
Systems and methods are described for coordinating error reporting among a plurality of managed runtimes that are concurrently executing in the same process. In accordance with various embodiments, an error reporting manager that executes concurrently in the same process as the managed runtimes coordinates error reporting among the managed runtimes in a manner that does not require the managed runtimes to be aware of each other or to communicate directly with each other.
