  • Patent number: 10871962
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable storage media for deploying upgrade packages during zero downtime upgrade of production systems include actions of receiving an upgrade package, the upgrade package defining one or more changes to be deployed to a system that has already undergone partial deployment during a zero downtime upgrade, and including one or more objects having respective object types, receiving a deployment configuration, the deployment configuration providing a plurality of lists of object types for respective constraints and, for each list of object types, specifying a deployment option for object types in the respective list of object types, determining a set of object types included in the upgrade package, the set of object types comprising one or more object types, and selectively permitting deployment of the upgrade package to execute the one or more changes based on the set of object types and the plurality of lists of object types.

  • Patent number: 10296324
    Abstract: A zero downtime upgrade procedure is initiated that upgrades a first version of software executing on a source system comprising at least one source server to a second version of software executing on a target system comprising at least one target server. The source system initially starts operating in a read-write mode. Thereafter, concurrent with the operation of the source system, operation of the target system is initiated in a read-only mode. Operations of the source system are then ceased by ramping down activities of the source system. Upon cessation of operation of the source system, operation of the target system is initiated in a read-write mode.

  • Patent number: 9026502
    Abstract: Example systems and methods of database migration optimized by feedback are presented. In one example, a migration of database data from a first to a second database by multiple concurrent processes may be initiated on a computing system. Processing time of at least some of the processes may be monitored during the migration. Based on this monitoring, at least one portion of the database data being migrated by one of the concurrent processes may be segmented into multiple segments, wherein each of the multiple segments may be migrated by a separate one of the concurrent processes. Also, a load on the computing system may be monitored during the migration. Based on this monitoring, a number of the concurrent processes may be adjusted. In other examples, consistency checking for subsequent database migrations may be based on consistency checking results for the current migration.

  • Patent number: 7962920
    Abstract: The disclosure includes a system and method for providing a business logic framework. In some implementations, a method includes identifying an event associated with business logic of an application framework. The application framework is associated with method framework logic and the business logic. One or more business objects are identified in accordance with the business logic. The business logic is executed using the identified one or more business objects independent of the method framework logic.
