Abstract

The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates re-locating a web application associated with a network service utilizing a portion of serialized data. The network service can be any collection of resources that are maintained by a party (e.g., third-party, off-site, etc.) and accessible by an identified user over a network (e.g., WAN, Internet, etc.). A receiver component can receive a request for initiating and execution of a process that is maintained by the network service. A servicing component can analyze representations of multiple processes within the network service and determines whether to enable initiation and execution of the process based at least in part upon the analysis.

Claims

1. A system that facilitates isolating a portion of a process associated with a network service, comprising:

an interface that receives a request to initialize and execute a portion of data within a network service; and

a servicing component that analyzes the portion of data within the network, the portion of data represents at least a portion of a process.

2. The system of claim 1, further comprising a robust Operating System incorporated into the network service that includes at least one intentional and complete representation of a portion of the process.

3. The system of claim 1, the Operating System is a software program that manages at least one of a hardware resource and a software resource associated with the network service.

4. The system of claim 1, the servicing component detects an error related to the portion of data within the network service.

5. The system of claim 4, the servicing component detects the error related to the portion of data during at least one of a time prior to execution of the portion of data and a time during execution of the portion of data.

6. The system of claim 4, further comprising a program isolation component that isolates the portion of data with the detected error within the network from error-free portions of data within the network service.

7. The system of claim 6, the program isolation component executes the portion of data with the detected error in an isolated environment to evaluate the detected error.

8. The system of claim 7, the program isolation component corrects the detected error associated with the portion of data based at least in part upon the evaluation and releases the portion of data out of isolation.

9. The system of claim 4, the servicing component executes the portion of data with the detected error in at least one of a reduced functionality, a downgraded functionality, a reduced state, and a lower priority.

10. The system of claim 4, the servicing component detects a potential error with the portion of data and monitors such potential error while the portion of data is executing in an isolated environment within the network service.

11. The system of claim 10, at least one of the detected error related to the portion of data and the potential error with the portion of data is corrected by at least one of a roll back, a roll forward, a quarantine, an isolation, a repair, a deletion of error-related data, a reduced/downgraded functionality, a multi-machine redundancy technique that provides a recommended action, and an ignore action.

12. The system of claim 11, the multi-machine redundancy technique provides a plurality of machines running independently, wherein each machine recommends an action associated with the portion of data.

13. The system of claim 12, the servicing component implements the recommended action based on a majority of the plurality of machines.

14. The system of claim 12, each of the plurality of machines includes at least one of a priority and a weight.

15. The system of claim 14, the servicing component implements the recommended action based on the majority of at least one of a weight of the plurality of machines and a priority of machines.

16. A computer-implemented method that facilitates detecting an error related to portion of data within a network service, comprising:

receiving a request associated with initializing and executing a portion of data from a client within a network service;

representing a portion of a process with the portion of data; and

analyzing the portion of data within the network service to detect at least one of an error and a potential error.

17. The method of claim 16, further comprising:

analyzing the portion of data prior to execution to detect at least one of the error and the potential error; and

analyzing the portion of data during execution to detect at least one of the error and the potential error.

18. The method of claim 16, further comprising:

isolating the portion of data associated with at least one of the error and the potential error from at least one of data free of an error and data free of a potential error;

evaluating the isolated portion of data during execution; and

repairing the portion of data based on the evaluation.

19. The method of claim 16, further comprising a multi-machine redundancy technique that includes a plurality of machines running the portion of data independently and each machine provides a recommended action related to the portion of data.

20. A computer-implemented system that facilitates, comprising:

means for receiving a request to initialize and execute a portion of data within a network service;

means for analyzing the portion of data within the network, the portion of data represents at least a portion of a process; and

means for isolating the portion of data based at least in part upon one of a detected error and a detected potential error.
