Abstract: A management system facilitating deployment of customizations of an enterprise application, with the enterprise application containing software modules pre-installed on a set of servers. In an embodiment, the management system first receives a set of deployment units each containing data defining a manner of configuration affecting the operation of at least some of the software modules to attain the desired customizations, and an enterprise profile indicating the specific subset of deployment units to be deployed in each of the servers. Management system then orchestrates the configuration of the software modules installed on the set of servers according to the data specified in the set of deployment units and the enterprise profile.

Abstract: A bi-directional systematic referral fee share system provides financial incentives when a candidate is engaged by a hiring company. When the candidate is engaged, the financial incentives are provided to members of a candidate referral fee pool and to members of a hiring manager referral fee pool. The members of the candidate referral fee pool include a first member of the system if the first member invited the candidate, a second member if the second member invited the first member, and a third member if the third member invited the second member. The members of the hiring manager referral fee pool include a fourth member if the fourth member invited the hiring manager, a fifth member if the fifth member invited the fourth member, and a sixth member if the sixth member invited the fifth member. In some instances, only qualified members of the candidate referral fee pool and/or only qualified members of the hiring manager referral fee pool are provided the financial incentive.

Abstract: A mechanism is described for processing requests to specify operations to database objects. A request to perform an action on a set of multiple objects is received by a database system. The request includes references to each object in the set, each reference indicating a table where the respective object resides. The reference is used to locate the object, and once located, the action is performed on the object. The reference may indicate a table using a unique table id not used in any of a plurality of databases to identify a table. The action request may be to modify the object, the references may include references to objects that reside in different database systems.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for generating references to a set of objects which reside in a plurality databases is described. Each object is associated with a table from a plurality of tables that are contained in the plurality of databases. An object id is associated with each object; the object id uniquely identifies the object relative to the objects in the set of objects. A table id is associated with each table; the table id uniquely identifies the table relative to tables in the plurality of tables. A table containing an object is located based on the table id associated with the table, and the object is located in the table based on the object id associated with the object. A table mapping is generated. The table mapping maps a set of tables to databases associated with the set of tables. The set of tables are from the plurality of tables. References to objects from the set of object are generated. Each reference comprises data that identifies an object.
