ANALYSIS
Claims 1, 5-6, 8, 12-14, 18, 19, 21, 25, 26, and 28 rejected under 35 U.S.C.
§
103(a) as unpatentable over McAfee, Disk Space, and Disk Cleanup.
Claim 1 is representative. A server in a distributed computing
environment is monitored for low disk space, and when this criterion is met,
the size of log files is automatically reduced. The Appellant argues that the
art fails to describe the server in a distributed computing environment,
automated execution, and reducing the size of log files. Appeal Br. 8-15;
Reply Br. 1-4.
