The present disclosure provides techniques for updating fabric alert definitions defined for a fiber channel or other fabric-based network within a storage management system. One embodiment provides techniques for detecting fabric merges, fabric segmentations, and principal switch changes of the fabric and modifying fabric alert definitions as a result of these changes. Thus, any alert definitions scoped by fabric will remain relevant even after fabric structural changes, and duplicate and/or redundant alerts may be reduced within the storage management system. In a further embodiment, detection of fabric changes is performed by first storing relationships between fabrics and switches, and comparing the current relationships between the fabrics and the switches against the stored relationships. Upon recognition of changes within the fabrics, the fabric alert definitions may be automatically analyzed and updated.

According to a preferred aspect of the instant invention, there is provided a system and method of robust vibration suppression which might be used in many subject matters, but which is preferably used in connection with computer controlled electromechanical devices such as disk drive arms. In a first preferred embodiment, a Gaussian waveform is selected as a velocity profile, with its integral and derivatives providing position and acceleration/jerk profiles respectively. According to another preferred embodiment, the movement velocity profile will be selected to be a member of the prolate spheroid family of waveforms. This family of functions has certain optimal properties with respect to the frequency domain concentration of energy for a given time-domain length time series. The movement of a flexible arm that is performed according to the invention will be one that has minimal or reduced residual vibration after it has reached its destination.

For automatic updates to fabric alert definitions, a method monitors fabric alert definitions defined for a storage area network having a plurality of switches and a plurality of fabrics. The fabric alert definitions define alert conditions within the storage area network relevant to events occurring within one or more of the plurality of fabrics. The method further detects one or more changes to the plurality of fabrics by discovering relationships between each fabric and each switch within the storage area network and comparing current relationships against previous relationships. In addition, the method automatically modifies fabric alert definitions having a reference to changed fabrics responsive to detection of the one or more changes to the plurality of fabrics.

Described herein is a technique for establishing an overall company-level confidence score based on analyzing data from various data sources. The overall score is derived using a machine learned model that takes as input a set of sub-scores, with each sub-score representing a measure of how frequently a domain name occurs within the same data record as a company name. The model used to combine the several sub-scores is trained using training data that includes a variety of sub-scores for company and domain names that have already been verified to be associated with one another.

Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for providing profiles with limited permission level functionality in the network. In response to receiving a request to post the new employment listing, a collaboration system updates a permission list of the employment listing to provide a first user account with an administrator permission level in relation to the employment listing. The administrator permission level provides a first function and a second function in relation to the employment listing. The collaboration system receives a request to tag a second user account to the employment listing and updates the permission list to provide the second user account with a limited permission level in relation to the employment listing. The limited permission level provides the second user account with permission to perform the first function in relation to the employment listing but does not provide permission to perform the second function.

Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for identifying profiles in a network based on relevance scores. A relevancy system identifies a set of candidate user profiles based on user profiles that correspond to users that are members of a first organization. For each candidate user profile, the relevancy system determines scores indicating a relevance level of the respective candidate user profile to an employment listing based on multiple relevance categories. The relevancy system applies weights to the scores and determined a relevance score for the candidate user profile based on the weighted relevancy scores. The weighs are determined based on historical hiring data and indicate a relative impact of each relevance category on hiring. The relevancy system selects a subset of the candidate user profiles based on the relevance scores and transmits notifications regarding the employment listing to the subset of the candidate user profiles.

The disclosed embodiments provide a system for processing data. During operation, the system stores, in a repository, a set of configurable rules for managing hiring workflows in an applicant tracking system, wherein each configurable rule in the set of configurable rules includes a trigger representing activity associated with an online network, a condition to be evaluated in response to the trigger, and an action to be performed when the condition is met. Next, the system matches recent activity associated with a candidate in an applicant tracking system to the trigger in a configurable rule from the repository. Next, the system evaluates the condition from the configurable rule using attributes associated with the candidate. When the condition is met by the attributes, the system automatically performs the action specified in the configurable rule to advance the candidate through the hiring workflow in the applicant tracking system.

An online system receives a request from an online system user to present a content item associated with an action that may be performed on a third party website not associated with the user. The online system identifies a set of third party websites on which the action may be performed based on information provided by content publishers associated with the websites describing performances of the action on the websites. The online system predicts a likelihood a viewing user of the online system presented with the content item will perform the action on each third party website based on the information provided by the content publishers and selects a website associated with a highest predicted likelihood the viewing user will perform the action on the website. The online system generates the content item including a link to the selected website and provides the content item for presentation.
