  • Patent number: 11405183
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described for using cache objects to store events for adding corresponding objects in a blockchain. In one implementation, a first cache object is identified. The cache object stores events published responsive to updates, insertions, or deletions of records in a database object. An identifier for the cache object is based on a time window with which the cache object is associated, and an identifier for the database object. Events are retrieved from a cache that includes the cache object, based on the identifier for the cache object. The events were stored in the cache object during the time window. A block is added to a blockchain. The block's payload includes objects corresponding to a subset of the events.

  • Patent number: 11403457
    Abstract: A system is provided for referral object processing for textual annotations. The system comprises a memory storing machine executable code and one or more processors coupled to the memory and configurable to execute the machine executable code to cause the one or more processors to parse a document to identify a reference identifier to an external object, the external object associated with information not contained in the document, retrieve the external object using the reference identifier, extract the information associated with the external object based on at least one data pattern detected in the external object, convert the extracted information into textual annotations associated with the reference identifier in the document, and enter the textual annotations to a corpus of content for the document so that the extracted information is associated with the reference in the document for the system.

  • Publication number: 20220237202
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for data catalogs, metadata repositories, data discovery, and data governance, and in particular, for a canonical model-driven active metadata exchange for distributed data catalogues. Disclosed implementations include an application independent metadata repository with a Canonical Data Model (CDM). The CDM maintains a single set of use case agnostic mappings between data sources and the CDM. The physical mappings of a particular entity in the CDM are used to determine the different applications that are mapped to it and what objects or data structures that are exposed by that particular data source. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

  • Patent number: 11397780
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for automatically generating company profiles. Independent seed source services each crawl web pages to collect seeds from different web-based sources. A seed enricher module can then fetch additional information for each of the collected seeds from other different web-based sources and generate an enriched company seed for each collected seed. The enriched company seeds can then be automatically clustered into different clusters that each represent a particular company. A particular value for each attribute of each cluster that is determined to have the highest score can then be selected for inclusion in a corresponding company profile for that cluster.

  • Patent number: 11397714
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for handling database queries from multiple different application versions using a single database. A computer system executing a database management system (DBMS) may receive a database query for a database, where the database query is received from a particular version of an application having a plurality of versions. The database query may specify the particular version. The computer system may then identify catalog tables, where the catalog tables include version information columns storing version access information. The computer system may determine that version access information for the database query indicates that one or more database objects corresponding to the database query are accessible to the particular version of the application.

  • Publication number: 20220232010
    Abstract: Database systems and methods are provided for authorizing access to a protected resource. One method involves an authorization service automatically assigning a unique alias to a web application and thereafter receiving a request for access to a protected resource on behalf of a user of the web application. In response to the request, the authorization service generates a graphical user interface (GUI) display including a graphical representation of the unique alias automatically assigned to the web application at a client device associated with the user, and thereafter in response to user selection of a GUI element of the GUI display to authorize access, the authorization service obtains an access token associated with the user and the protected resource and transmits the access token to the web application.

  • Patent number: 11392366
    Abstract: Computing systems, for example, multi-tenant systems deploy software artifacts in datacenters created in a cloud platform using a cloud platform infrastructure language that is cloud platform independent. A system receives pipeline templates including templating expressions that are substituted with values for generating pipelines. A pipeline is executed to perform a set of actions associated with continuous delivery of a software artifact. The system stores sets of partially hydrated pipeline templates. The partially hydrated pipeline templates are compiled into executable pipelines associated with services configured on a datacenter of the cloud platform. The system stores different versions of pipeline templates as deployment packages. The system stores version pointers that identify specific deployment packages that are selected when a software release is deployed. The version pointers allow the specific deployment packages to be updated in case of roll back or for deploying more recent changes.

  • Patent number: 11392599
    Abstract: Techniques and structures for providing a multitenant environment having both a relational database and a non-relational database. A database query is received with at least one server computing device providing a multitenant environment having a relational database system and a non-relational database system, the database query in a format corresponding to the relational database system. The query is parsed with the at least one server computing device to find one or more components of the query directed to data stored in the non-relational database system. One or more components of the query directed to data stored in the non-relational database system are converted to one or more scans of the non-relational database system. Results from the query of the relational database system and results from the one or more scans of the non-relational database system are collected. The results from the query and the results of the one or more scans to a combined result are combined.
