  • Publication number: 20230289162
    Abstract: In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for creating, exporting, viewing and testing, and importing custom applications in a multitenant database environment. These mechanisms and methods can enable embodiments to provide a vehicle for sharing applications across organizational boundaries. The ability to share applications across organizational boundaries can enable tenants in a multi-tenant database system, for example, to easily and efficiently import and export, and thus share, applications with other tenants in the multi-tenant environment.

  • Patent number: 10691437
    Abstract: A computer implemented method of developing computer applications, the method comprising providing to multiple users access, over a network, to information on a data center, with a subgroup of the users having access to a sub-portion of the information that is different from the sub-portion accessible by the remaining tenants of the subgroup; and communicating wide the data center over the network employing a computer system associated with a user of the sub-group to establish application functionality with the sub-portion that may be accessed, over the network, by additional parties authorized by the user. Also disclosed is a machine-readable medium and a data center, both of which facilitate carrying-out the steps of the method.

  • Patent number: 10019278
    Abstract: Establishing an MCEE logical structure relating tenant resources of a tenant site, first non-tenant cloud resources at a first non-tenant cloud site, and second non-tenant cloud resources at a second non-tenant site. Mapping the MCEE logical structure nodes to a segmented end-to-end virtual network structure (E2E-VNS) such that the resources at each node of the MCEE logical structure is in a separate virtual network of the E2E-VNS. Establishing an extension and isolation (EXI) domain in the MCEE logical structure associating at least one node of the tenant resources with at least one node of the first non-tenant cloud and at least one node of the second non-tenant cloud. Connecting for network communications, the E2E-VNS virtual networks of the nodes of the EXI domain for isolation of the resources of the nodes of the EXI domain from the other resources of the MCEE logical structure in an EXI virtual network.
