  • Publication number: 20230179413
    Abstract: A system and method for rotating private encryption keys for tenants of a database system has been developed. First, three separate public-private encryption keys are generated for a tenant of the database system. The three separate private encryption keys for the tenant are then stored in cloud-based storage. A defined cadence is created to rotate the private encryption keys for the tenant. The three separate private encryption keys for the tenant are defined as a a past private key, a present private key and a future private key. Next, the public encryption key is stored for the tenant in a global tenant directory. The present private key and the public encryption key are retrieved to encrypt and decrypt data from the tenant. The three separate private encryption keys are rotated at the defined cadence, where the past private key is discarded, the present private key becomes a new past private key, the future private key becomes a new present private key, and a new future private key is generated.

  • Publication number: 20230169138
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for rendering components of a user interface (UI) of an application such that primitive child elements that correspond to child components of the UI can be rendered without instantiating the child components. Each child data object corresponds to a particular child component of a parent component and includes data for that particular child component. Child data objects can be augmented to include a simple render method for rendering structured data of the augmented child data objects. The parent component be rendered from its template by iteratively evaluating each child data object and checking a property of that child data object to determine whether it includes a simple render method, and if so, the template of the parent component can instruct the framework to use that simple render method to get an atom object and render one or more primitive child elements.

  • Publication number: 20230169195
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for securely sharing database records in the context of a conversation at a communication platform using a secure sharing service. The secure sharing service identifies an external system user identifier for a participant in the conversation at the communication platform using an identifier associated with the participant at the communication platform, identifies permissions associated with the data record at the external system, and identifies a subset of fields of the data record viewable by the participant using the external system user identifier. The secure sharing service obtains values for the identified subset of fields of the data record from the external computing system and automatically generates a shared data record message associated with the conversation at the communication platform that includes the obtained values for the identified subset of fields of the data record.

  • Patent number: 11665268
    Abstract: Technologies are provided for supporting tenant customizations in a cloud computing platform. A standard application programming interface (API) can be defined to support a generic set of parameters that allow tenant-specified custom data to be passed to and from the standard API. The generic set of parameters allow the standard API to process requests and responses that include a payload that comprises tenant-specified custom data. The payload allows the tenant-specified custom data to be passed to and from the standard API. When a request is received at the cloud computing platform, a request payload of the request, that includes tenant-specified custom data, can be processed at the standard API, and a response can be sent from the cloud computing platform that includes a response payload that includes the tenant-specified custom data.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for migrating a workflow from a source system to a target system. The systems and methods receive metadata defining a workflow configured for processing by the source system. A set of rules associated with transforming the metadata for processing by the target system are identified. A first rule is applied to the metadata to execute a first transformation of an element of the metadata. A second rule is applied to the metadata to execute a second transformation of a position of an element of the metadata. The systems and methods generate a transformed workflow including the first transformation and the second transformation. The transformed workflow is displayed via the target system.
