Abstract: In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for selecting amongst a plurality of processes to send a message (e.g. a message for updating an endpoint system, etc.). These mechanisms and methods for selecting amongst a plurality of processes to send a message can enable embodiments to utilize more than one queue for sending such message. The ability of embodiments to provide such multi-process feature can, in turn, prevent latency that typically accompanies a mounting number of messages.

Abstract: Disclosed are examples of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for customer engagement and communication across multiple channels using a database system. A first communication between an agent and a customer can be identified on a first communication channel. A customer identifier and agent identifier associated with the first communication can be processed. A unique multi-channel identifier can be retrieved. The unique multi-channel identifier can link the customer identifier and the agent identifier, to uniquely link the agent with the customer. The unique multi-channel identifier can then be provided to initiate a second communication between the agent and customer on a second communication channel.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for processing and sending messages with low latency are described. An application server may obtain a triggered send request (TSR) message from triggered send (TS) subscriber. The TSR message may comprise TSR information and a TSR payload. The application server may directly inject the TSR payload to an available message server for processing when the TSR information indicates that a first priority is associated with the payload, and may notify the available message server that the TSR payload is available for processing when the TSR information indicates that a second priority is associated with the payload. The application server may also write the TSR payload and/or TSR information to a TSS queue of a TSS tenant space, and may write the payload to a non-relational datastore regardless of a priority associated with the payload. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: A system may identify gap events in a change detection stream. When changes in data are transmitted to a downstream system, the system may identify intermittent portions of the transmission where data is missing (e.g., a gap event). In some examples, a gap event may be caused by system maintenance or one or more system errors. After identifying the gap event, the system may bridge the gap event using metadata associated with the gap event. The associated metadata may be transmitted (e.g., via a gap event identification message) to the downstream system, which may prevent the downstream system from experiencing computational inefficiencies due to the gap event.

Abstract: This disclosure provides various techniques that may allow for accessing values stored in a data structure that stores multiple values corresponding to database transactions using a skip list. A key may be used to traverse the skip list to access data associated with the key. The skip list maintains on ordering of multiple keys, each associated with a particular record in the data structure, using indirect links between data records in the data structure that reference buckets included in hash table. Each bucket includes pointers to one or more records in the skip list.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing repeatable stream access by multiple consumers. A repeatable stream object is provided, which provides an in-memory buffer and disk storage for handling of a data stream, as well as independent, repeatable, and parallel access to the data stream by multiple consumers. Using the repeatable stream object, consuming of the stream by a first consumer causes the stream to also be placed into the in-memory buffer for later reuse, and does not impact the ability of a second consumer to also consume the stream.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to maintaining a cache usable to locate data stored in a data structure. A computer system, in various embodiments, maintains a data structure having a plurality of levels that store files for a database. The files may include one or more records that each have a key and corresponding data. The computer system may also maintain a cache for the database whose entries store, for a key, an indication of a location of a corresponding record in a file of the data structure. In some embodiments, the computer system receives a request to access a particular record stored in the data structure where the request specifies a key usable to locate the particular record. The computer system may retrieve, from the cache via the key, a particular indication of a location of the particular record and may use the particular indication to access the particular record.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for webpage domain handling are described. Some systems may include functionality for a user device to persist embedded application sessions between different webpages. For example, the user device may load a first webpage for a first domain, instantiate an inline frame (iframe) within the webpage, and run an embedded application in the webpage. Using an iframe-embedded document for a host server, the user device may store session data associated with running the application in session storage for the host server. If the user device switches to a second webpage (e.g., of a different domain) while continuing to run the application, the user device may reload the iframe and enclosed document, and may retrieve the active session data from the session storage for the host server. The user device may continue running the embedded application without interruption in the second webpage based on this session data.

Abstract: Distributed Systems are becoming very large and are being served by 10s of 1000s of individual machines. Among heterogeneous nodes, one node's capabilities can vary widely from that of others in the same cluster, for example, in a cluster of storage servers. Each of the clients/writers may retrieve, periodically, from all the servers, important metrics such as free disk space capacity, average disk IO utilization over the last N minutes, etc. We call these client to nodes (servers) messages as “periodic metrics query.” Using received metrics, clients dynamically assign weights to each of the servers as an indication of their current capabilities. Server metrics and or weights are distributed across the clients, and each client may make independent placement decisions based on their view of the cluster. Because clients are using substantially the same information for making decisions on placement, the result is improved balance across the servers.

Abstract: A mechanism for providing in-line scheduling in an on-demand service in a database system is proved. The mechanism provides a multi-tenant database that stores client scheduling information, client customer contact information, and enables drag and drop event scheduling. In a multi-tenant database, a system for managing client customer contact information and event scheduling is established, which is useful for a tenant that is a salesperson or that employs salespersons. The multi-tenant database includes a combined view application that provides for the simultaneous display of a calendar view and list view of contact information. The multi-tenant database includes drag and drop functionality, allowing list view information to be dragged and dropped onto the calendar view for event scheduling. The ability of embodiments to provide drag and drop inline event scheduling can enable efficient calendaring of events by rapidly transferring relevant information onto a calendar.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for real-time blocking of content from an organization activity timeline of an organization. The content blocked can be, for example, activities, or contributions to those activities. The organization activity timeline is displayed within a user interface to show activities involving a particular external contact and one or more users of the organization. The disclosed methods and systems can be used to control which activities or contributions to activities are displayed in the organization activity timeline. One or more identifiers can be added to one or more blacklists. New activities are evaluated for inclusion in the organization activity timeline. Any new activity that includes an identifier (or contributions to that new activity) can be blocked so that it does not appear in the organization activity timeline.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for low-latency real-time request processing. For example, one implementation comprises a front end and a plurality of micro-services each utilizing a different type of hardware and/or software tailored to perform a specialized type of processing. In one implementation, the front end receives a request message (e.g., an HTTP request) containing program code/data in its header and forwards the request to certain micro-services in accordance with the type of processing required and/or other variables such as load on the micro-services. A central storage may be shared by the front end and the micro-services to exchange data and/or the data may be stored in the intermediate messages passed between the front end and micro-services.
