  • Patent number: 8925035
    Abstract: A computer based system and method of providing document isolation during routing of a document through a workflow is disclosed. The method comprises maintaining a separate “working” copy of the original base document while the document is routed through a workflow. Access controls, which define who may access the original document as well as any versions of the working copy document, are defined and stored in relation to the documents. The access controls further define the types of actions users may take with respect to the document. Users are selectively directed to the appropriate document, either the base document or working copy, and selectively granted permission to perform publishing operations on the working copy document, as determined by the access controls.

  • Patent number: 7822741
    Abstract: Trace and replay objects can be designed to automatically perform operations concerning database trace data upon invocation by custom computer processes. Trace data can be saved to any of variety of locations. It can be manipulated for the purpose of storage or replay. Trace data can be played back against any database server using numerous replay configuration options. Replay notifications allow data to be changed just before it is submitted to a database for execution, and allow immediate examination of replay results and validation of playback correctness. Thus, trace and replay objects greatly simplify manageability of trace data. Custom processes can now completely automate security audit and health monitoring of traced database servers. Automatic verification of new server releases and security packs can also be performed. Custom processes can use the provided objects to flexibly access and manipulate the retrieval, storage, and replay of database trace data.
