Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Data processing systems configured as declarative systems face challenges when transitioning from one state to another, as they may execute unforeseen processes that lead to potential destructive consequences, such as data loss or system instability, due to the removal of undefined services and their associated data.

Innovation Solution

Implementing undefine policies that define allowable and unallowable changes in the operation and data of services, which are pre-configured for each service and its associated data, to prevent unintended actions during state transitions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If declarative systems transition from one state to another, then system adaptability and automation are improved, but system stability and data integrity deteriorate due to unforeseen destructive processes

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvestate transition capabilityVSAvoidsystem stability

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary anti-action by implementing undefine policies that preemptively identify and protect undefined services and their associated data before state transitions occur. These policies are configured in advance to prevent automatic deletion of undefined services, thereby counteracting the potential harmful effects of declarative state transitions while maintaining system adaptability

Inventive Principle:

Principle #9Preliminary anti-action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements preliminary action by pre-configuring undefine policies that define allowable and unallowable changes before any state transition takes place. This preliminary configuration ensures that when state transitions occur, the system already has protective measures in place to prevent unintended data loss or system instability

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If undefined services are automatically removed during state transitions, then productivity and automation are improved, but data loss and system reliability worsen

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvestate transition efficiencyVSAvoiddata loss

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism in the form of undefine policies that mediate between the automatic service removal process and the actual deletion action. This intermediary layer evaluates whether undefined services should be removed based on pre-configured policies, allowing the system to maintain productivity while preventing unintended data loss through policy-based control

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

Methods and systems for managing data processing systems are provided. Data processing systems may host various computer-implemented services. Data processing systems may also be changed to operate in different states where one or more currently hosted computer-implemented services may no longer be hosted in the new state. Removal of these no longer hosted computer-implemented services from the data processing systems may cause complications for the data processing systems in the new state. Undefine policies may be preconfigured for one or more hosted computer-implemented services to prevent occurrence of such complications.
