Generating Configuration Files: The Director's Cut
نویسنده
چکیده
The generation of system configuration files and other documents directly from a database has proven to be a very powerful technique. However, there were some limitations to this approach. With the introduction of Oracle 8i, and more specifically, the addition of support for XML, we have been able to eliminate many of these limitations and take the file generation and maintenance to a new level.

متن کاملSAIC: Identifying Configuration Files for System Configuration Management
Systems can become misconfigured for a variety of reasons such as operator errors or buggy patches. When a misconfiguration is discovered, usually the first order of business is to restore availability, often by undoing the misconfiguration. To simplify this task, we propose the Statistical Analysis for Identifying Configuration Files (SAIC), which analyzes how the contents of a file changes ov...
متن کاملBlade Runner and the Postmodern: A Reconsideration
The ambivalence implicit in the two versions of Ridley Scott's Blade Runner (1982; "Director's Cut," 1992) echoes the diverse and divided critical responses to the film(s). Indeed, this film about authenticity and simulation has been so thoroughly interpreted and rewritten—by even its director—that a naive return to the "original" is, perhaps fittingly, untenable. This essay does not advance a ...
