  • Patent number: 11895119
    Abstract: An exemplary system having a processor and a memory therein includes means for creating an isolation group, in which creating the isolation groups includes: defining isolation requirements, identifying a group of features utilizing call-out functions, and selecting from among the group of features utilizing call-out functions a group of features having the defined isolation requirements; deploying platform software integrating the isolation requirements, in which the platform software contains instructions to map the isolation requirements to a customer organization; creating the customer organization; creating a unique variant of the customer organization, in which creating the unique variant of the customer organization includes declaratively applying an isolation layer containing isolation requirements on top of a base layer for the customer organization; and deploying the unique variant of the customer organization onto the customer organization's computing infrastructure, in which the unique variant vali

  • Patent number: 11698888
    Abstract: Technologies for creating form field(s) for a database object (DO) in a database system are provided. A user interface (UI) presented on a display device (DD) can display a page that includes one or more form fields for the DO. In response to a request to create a new form field for the database object, options for creating additional form fields for the DO can be displayed within the page. Based on a selection of one of the options, a form field for the DO can be created in the database system. A UI element that includes the form field for the DO can be displayed at the DD via the same UI (used to receive the selection). This can allow a user to visualize how the form field for the DO is displayed during-run time without requiring the user to change to a second UI.

  • Patent number: 11296998
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are techniques for identifying computing resources specified by a representation of a computing service. In some implementations, a request to analyze a computing service provided via a computing environment may be received. The computing service may have an activated state in which the computing service is available for use and a deactivated state in which the computing service is not available for use. The computing environment may comprise a plurality of computing resources each defining a variable unit of computing functionality within the computing environment. Each computing resource may be associated with a respective parameter corresponding with a respective parameter value that specifies a level of the variable unit of computing functionality defined by the computing resource. The computing service may be represented by a metadata model comprising a plurality of nodes, at least some of which specify a respective one or more of the parameter values.

  • Patent number: 11023428
    Abstract: A method for creating a field database object (DO) in a database system (DS) is provided. Prior to run-time: a first page associated with the DO is displayed via a user interface (UI) presented on a display device (DD); a request to create a field for the DO is received via the UI presented on the DD; field creation options for creating fields for the DO within the first page are displayed via the UI; a selection of one or more field creation options is received via the UI and communicated to the DS; and the field is created in the DS. During run-time, the DD is sent a second page to be displayed that is different than the first page, via the same UI presented on the DD that was displayed and used to receive the selection used to create the field using the first page.

  • Patent number: 8769704
    Abstract: Embodiments are described for providing access by application vendors to applications deployed in an enterprise network environment. A package access system defines a support user class in a user profile database for an application executed within organization resources maintained in a multi-tenant data store. The support user is granted read only privileges to metadata of the application. An organization administrator can grant the application vendor access to the application as a support user, allowing the vendor to view and analyze the metadata. The organization administrator can further grant access by a specific support representative to the application as a specific user within the organization user for a limited term. The support representative can then log into the organization and access and use the application in order to diagnose any post-installation usage problems with the application.
