Patent number: 12141119Abstract: A system performs write protection of data that being copied. The write protection protects the data from being corrupted by applications. The system allows writes that are part of the data transfer from the source database. The system uses triggers to implement write protection. The system stores a list of tenants that are write protected in a metadata table. The system implements a statement level trigger that caches the metadata table in memory. If the cache is determined to be older than the limit specified by the TTL, the system reloads the cache. The statement may perform multiple row level operations. A row level operation implements a row level trigger that checks the in-memory data structure to determine whether the tenant is write protected. If the tenant is determined to be write protected, the system rolls back the row level operation.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2022Date of Patent: November 12, 2024Assignee: Salesforce, Inc.Inventor: Sai Rama Raju Alluru

Patent number: 12141100Abstract: A repository for quick retrieval of object(s) of a communication platform is described. Server(s) of the communication platform can receive, in association with a user interface, a request to associate an object with a repository.

Patent number: 12141159Abstract: Database environments may choose to schedule complex analytics processing to be performed by specialized processing environments by caching source datasets or other data needed for the analytics and then outputting results back to customer datasets. It is complex to schedule user database operations, such as running dataflows, recipes, scripts, rules, or the like that may rely on output from the analytics, if the user database operations are on one schedule, while the analytics is on another schedule. User/source datasets may become out of sync and one or both environments may operate on stale data. One way to resolve this problem is to define triggers that, for example, monitor for changes to datasets (or other items of interest) by analytics or other activity and automatically run dataflows, recipes, or the like that are related to the changed datasets (or other items of interest).Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2023Date of Patent: November 12, 2024Assignee: Salesforce, Inc.Inventors: Keith Kelly, Ravishankar Arivazhagan, Wenwen Liao, Zhongtang Cai, Ali Sakr
