Patent number: 10901593Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for configuring components in a display template based on a user interface type are described. A template customization application may support configuration of a display template corresponding to multiple user interface types. A user may customize the display template by adding a component to the display template (e.g., where the display template is displayed by the template customization application according to a specific user interface type view). The template customization application may determine whether the added component supports rendering for the current user interface type and may display the component in the template based on the determination (e.g., either as a functional component or as a placeholder). Each user interface type supported by the template may be defined in a single underlying metadata file, so adding the component into one view will automatically add the component for all of the supported the user interface types.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2018Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: salesforce.com, inc.Inventors: Michael Gonzalez, Adheip Varadarajan, Weiqing Dai

Patent number: 10901707Abstract: An application builder system includes an application builder server and a client-side application builder. The application builder server may receive, from a tenant user device, a request to store a data structure corresponding to a container component. The application builder server may identify one or more attributes of the data structure corresponding to a declarative use feature of the server. The application builder server may determine whether the data structure satisfies the declarative use feature of the server based on the attributes. The application builder server may expose the container component on the user interface based on the declarative use feature of the server. As such, a developer may upload a custom container component for use in an application builder application. Other users may download the custom container components and use the custom container component on the application builder application.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2018Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: salesforce.com, inc.Inventors: Jan Ove Kristian Olsson, Dean Moses, Adheip Varadarajan, Artem Dmytrenko

Patent number: 10901861Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for performing a point-in-time restore of data of a first tenant of a multitenanted database system. Metadata can be located to identify an archival version of first data of the first tenant stored in immutable storage of the database system. The archival version includes a most recently committed version of each datum prior to a first point in time. By using the metadata, a restore reference set is mapped into a target database instance of the database system. The mapping can be performed when all existing data for a tenant is to be the archival version, and where versions of data and records committed after the point in time are not available to the target database instance.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2020Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: salesforce.com, inc.Inventors: Jameison Bear Martin, Nathaniel Wyatt, Patrick James Helland, Thomas Fanghaenel, Terry Chong, Subho Sanjay Chatterjee

Patent number: 10902021Abstract: A method and system for automatically scaling out read operations in an automated self-scaling database system are provided. An automated self-scaling database module analyzes telemetry information from a primary database and a first standby database to determine whether there is the need for upscaling storage capacity and computation resources of the database system for read operations. When upscaling is needed, a snapshot of the first standby database is taken and stored at a snapshot storage system. The snapshot is a complete copy of data stored in a storage system of the first standby database at a given time. Upscaling is then automatically initiated by provisioning a new standby database by automatically provisioning a new virtual machine (VM) and a new storage system for the new standby database, and then restoring the snapshot that was taken from the snapshot storage system to the new standby database.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2018Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: salesforce.com, inc.Inventors: Bohan Chen, Donald Tam
