摘要

Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for determining a number of unique incidents in a plurality of incidents for incident processing in a distributed processing system are provided. Embodiments include an incident analyzer identifying within the plurality of incidents, attribute combination entries of location identifications and incident types and analyzing each location identification in each attribute combination entry according to a sequence of the attribute combination entries including creating attribute pairs. The incident analyzer is also configured to count the attribute pairs. The number of attribute pairs is the number of unique incidents in the plurality of incidents.

1. A method of determining a number of unique incidents in a plurality of incidents for incident processing in a distributed processing system, the method comprising:
identifying within the plurality of incidents, by an incident analyzer, attribute combination entries of location identifications and incident types, wherein each attribute combination entry has one location identification and a set of unique incident types corresponding to the location identification; analyzing each location identification in each attribute combination entry according to a sequence of the attribute combination entries including for each location identification of each attribute combination entry:
determining whether the set of unique incident types within the attribute combination entry includes an incident type not selected for pairing with another location identification in an attribute pair;if the set of unique incidents types includes an incident type not selected for pairing with another location identification in an attribute pair, selecting the incident type for pairing with the location identification in an attribute pair and creating an attribute pair of the selected incident type and the location identification; and counting the attribute pairs; wherein the number of attribute pairs is the number of unique incidents in the plurality of incidents.
