During recovery, data objects may be retrieved through point-in-time based recovery directly by the systems of the protected site, and/or data objects may be provided via full recovery, for example, within a runtime environment of a recovery site, with minimal data loss and operation interruption by rehydrating data objects within the runtime environment via low-latency data transfer and rehydration systems.

Abstract: An in-memory database server hosting a tenant of a multi-tenant software architecture can receive a definition of a custom data field that is unique to an organization having isolated access to the tenant. The custom data field can extend a standard table defined by central metadata stored at a system tenant of the multi-tenant software architecture. Tenant private metadata that includes the definition can be stored in memory accessible only to the tenant. A tenant-dependent table that includes the custom data field can be formed, for example by retrieving central metadata defining the standard table from the system tenant and adding the custom data field using the definition. The tenant-dependent table can be presented for access via a database client at the organization. Related systems, articles of manufacture, and computer-implemented methods are disclosed.

Abstract: A data record management system develops person match scores for data records that may relate to the same person or subject. In a genealogical system where the data records are represented as nodes in a family tree, and where multiple data records may relate the same person in question, the data record management system evaluates not only two data records to determine if they relate to the same person, but also individually evaluate various data records pertaining to people that are related to the person in question. Person match scores are calculated by combining sub-scores based on the comparison of corresponding nodes. Sub-scores for nodes pertaining to related people may be adjusted higher even if those notes do not match, to reflect circumstances such as remarriage.

Abstract: Certain embodiments facilitate developing an application using a client-side object model to data source mapping. This may involve defining data use on the client side of the application in various ways that simplify the development necessary to implement data access features. In certain embodiments, data access and synchronization between a client and a data source is accomplished by configuring the client to map to a set of remote procedure call operations for a given data source. For example, the user may implement or confirm update, create, delete, and retrieve function calls for a given data source such that the application can implement data access and updating using those functions. Embodiments use persistent object identifiers, change logs, and/or data bindings in a client to provide various features and benefits. Certain embodiments also facilitate conflict resolution, demand paging, and lazy loading.

Abstract: Business objects can be implemented in a single persistence scenario that supports both online transaction processing (OLTP) and online analytical processing (OLAP). A consumption-centric approach can use a same business object attribute data format model for consumption and persistence. Also, a singular model can be implemented in different layers of a system processing business objects. Extra software layers can be avoided. A business-objects-based system can take advantage of the technologies to provide greater flexibility, ease of extensibility, and performance improvements.

Abstract: A processor-implemented method, system, and/or computer program product generates and utilizes a synthetic context-based object to locate a user-specific data store. A processor associates a non-contextual data object with a context object to define a synthetic context-based object. The synthetic context-based object is associated with at least one specific data store that contains data that is associated with data in the non-contextual data object and in the context object. The processor determines a subject-matter of interest for a specific user, and associates that determined subject-matter of interest to a specific synthetic context-based object. In response to receiving a request for data from a specific user, the request is directed to the specific synthetic context-based object that describes the subject-matter of interest for that specific user. This specific synthetic context-based object locates the appropriate data store in order to return the requested data to the specific user.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for relational database management. The method constructs a referentially-complete target subset database from a source database by first estimating the expected size of the target subset database based on application of one or more subsetting rules. If the estimated size needs reduction, the user can modify the subsetting rules, and then modules are invoked to receive the modified subset rules. The method continues by generating a subsetting execution plan by applying the user-modified subset rules to the source database, and then modules process the generated execution plan, which processing results in storage of a referentially-complete target subset database. The user can influence the construction of the execution plan by suggesting an execution model to use during processing of the subsetting execution plan.

More particularly, objects are composed of properties, and properties are composed of an array of name-value pairs, where the name is a string and the value can be almost any type, including another pair. Further, the schema language supports name referencing, alternative schemas, and forbidden type, and a root object to facilitate schema composition, among other things.

Additionally, the model deployment module generates a utility module that supports advanced modeling capabilities, including derived properties and constraints.

Abstract: At least one read operation of at least one object of an object graph is initiated. For each corresponding read operation, a reference count of the root object is incremented (with the reference count 1 for the root object initially reflecting a single anchor pointer pointing to the root object). Subsequently, one or more of the objects are changed. Incompatible changes result in the root object, at least one changed object, and any intervening objects within the hierarchy of objects being cloned. The anchor pointer is then linked to the cloned root object. The root object is later dropped when the reference count for the root object is zero. In addition, the object graph is traversed starting at the root object and ending at the at least one changed object removing any edges for such objects. Each object having a reference count of zero is then dropped.
