SELF-HEALING DATA PROTECTION SYSTEM MATCHING SYSTEM ATTRIBUTES TO RELEVANT SCRIPTS USING MULTIPLE SCRIPTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17971167 titled 'SELF-HEALING DATA PROTECTION SYSTEM MATCHING SYSTEM ATTRIBUTES TO RELEVANT SCRIPTS USING MULTIPLE SCRIPTS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for automating the remediation of issues by matching failed operations to scripts that can fix the problem. The method involves detecting a backup operation alert message that encodes attributes affected by the backup operation. These attributes are weighted to reflect the importance of the corresponding script in fixing the problem. The method scans a script library to identify scripts that match the alert message and generates a score for each script based on the relevance to the backup operation. The scores for each single script and each possible combination of multiple scripts are computed and compared, and the script or script combination with the highest score is executed by the self-healing process.

  • The method automates the timely remediation of issues by matching failed operations to scripts.
  • It detects backup operation alert messages and encodes the affected attributes.
  • The attributes are weighted to reflect the importance of the corresponding script in fixing the problem.
  • The method scans a script library to identify matching scripts.
  • It generates a score for each script based on the relevance to the backup operation.
  • Scores for each single script and each possible combination of multiple scripts are computed and compared.
  • The script or script combination with the highest score is executed by the self-healing process.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Automated issue remediation in data management and storage systems.
  • Self-healing processes in IT infrastructure.
  • Automation of problem-solving in various industries.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Manual identification and execution of scripts to fix issues.
  • Timely remediation of issues without human intervention.
  • Efficient utilization of script libraries.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Faster issue resolution and reduced downtime.
  • Improved system reliability and availability.
  • Increased efficiency and productivity by automating problem-solving processes.


Original Abstract Submitted

Embodiments automate the timely remediation of issues by matching failed operations to a script or set of scripts that is configured to fix the problem. A method detects a backup operation alert message sent from a data manager or storage system that encodes one or more attributes affected by the backup operation, wherein the attributes are weighted to reflect a percentage importance of the a corresponding script to fix the problem. A script library is scanned to identify scripts that match the alert message. A component generates a score for each script, where the score factors the relevance of the script to the backup operation based on the weighted attributes. Scores for each single script each possible combination of multiple scripts are computed and compared, and the script or script combination with the highest score is executed by the self-healing process.
