Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for data retrieval, from databases to clients, in an environment requiring runtime authorization. In response to a request for T data records, a learning module provides a prediction R of a suitable number of data records to retrieve from a database. Following retrieval of R records or record identifiers, authorization is sought from an authorization service, resulting in A of the records being authorized. The A authorized records are returned to the requesting client, and, if more records are needed, T is decremented and the cycle is repeated. A performance notification is provided to the learning module for training, with respect to providing values of prediction R. The performance notification can be based on a measure of authorization service performance, the number A of authorized records, latency, communication or resource costs, a measure of resource congestion, or other parameters. Variants are disclosed.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to computer-implemented methods, software, and systems for detecting isolated zones in a cloud platform. Aggregated data for network connectivity status of web agents at the cloud platform is iteratively collected at a health service. The aggregated data is generated based on network call log data for external accessibility of the web agents. The web agents run at different network segments of the cloud platform. The network call log data is generated based on executed network calls issued from one or more external web agents running outside of the cloud platform and directed to each of the web agents at the cloud platform. A poll request for a network connectivity status for inbound connectivity for an entity running on the cloud platform is received. In response to evaluating the collected aggregated data, the network connectivity status for inbound connectivity for the entity is provided.

Abstract: A distribution network communicates content to tenant groups in a secure manner. An engine of the distribution network receives content created utilizing an application having different customers and partners. The engine also receives: a first identifier indicating a customer of the application with which a tenant is associated, and a second identifier indicating a partner of the application with which the tenant is associated. The engine references a stored database table to correlate the first identifier and the second identifier. Based upon the first identifier and the second identifier, the engine evaluates whether the tenant is to be provided access to the content. The engine may provide the tenant with the content according to an access right determined from the first identifier and the second identifier. Certain embodiments may find particular use disseminating content to new tenants of a customer, based upon prior distribution to other tenants of that customer.

Abstract: Embodiments permit searching across different system landscapes, for data associated with master data objects. A map is constructed comprising (explicit, inferred) connections between different pieces of data located in various databases, systems, and landscapes. In certain embodiments the map is constructed utilizing a parameter (e.g., family name) present in a received query, as a boundary condition. The map may be in tabular form, and may conform to a particular notation scheme. Once the map is constructed, the query is executed thereupon to search for relevant data. The corresponding query result is received and stored, ultimately for communication back to the user posing the original query. Embodiments may be particularly suited to returning private data of a unique entity (e.g., natural person, corporation, juristical person) that is stored over a variety of different master data objects (e.g., employee, customer, supplier) and across complex system landscapes.

Abstract: A computer system including in-memory cache storage may be used to store collections of metadata that provide a semantic layer for a query of a data source. The computer system may provide multiple users access to the metadata collection, using different security policies for the users, without duplicating the metadata collection in the in-memory storage. For instance, the computer system may retrieve the metadata collection and provide the first user access to the metadata collection based on a first security policy of the first user. The computer system may then provide a second user access to the metadata collection based on a second security policy of the second user, without the metadata collection being duplicated in the in-memory cache storage.

The ideal compilation times can be estimated by assuming no query execution plan is evicted from the query execution plan cache. The method can adjust the size of the query execution plan cache based on the monitored differences.

Abstract: Technologies described herein can be used to generate and distribute neural network models and executable code using feedback data received from one or more client computing devices. A neural network model can be generated by a server computer. Executable code can also be generated by the server that, when executed by a client computing device, causes the client device to generate a prediction using the neural network model. The server can transmit the model and code to one or more client computing devices. The server can receive feedback data from the client device(s) based on predictions generated by the client device(s) using the neural network model and the executable code. The server can generate an updated version of the neural network model and/or an updated version of the executable code base on the feedback data, and can transmit the updated model and/or the updated code to the client device(s).

Abstract: Example methods and systems are directed to a multitenant application server using a union file system. Each tenant has one or more users and a tenant layer in the union file system. Each user has a user layer in the union file system. The union file system provides a logical file system to each user based on the user layer, the tenant layer, and a base layer comprising a set of application layers. A first user shares an application template file with other users of the same tenant by moving the file from the first user's user layer to the tenant layer. After the file is moved, all users of the tenant have access to the application defined by the application template file. The moving of the file is achieved by modifying metadata for the file.

Abstract: Embodiments afford secure transfer of security key type(s) between different database servers having different key hierarchies. For example, a key transfer may occur from a source server to a target server during a database migration process. Particular embodiments comprise a SQL transfer command statement (e.g., TRANSFER ENCRYPTION KEY) recognized by an engine. Syntax of the SQL transfer command includes a password and a filename for a security key. Upon receiving the SQL transfer command, the engine references an information repository to identify a relevant key hierarchy and key type, encrypts the security key with a key derived from password, and stores (exports) the encrypted security key in a file for consumption (import) at the target server. The SQL transfer command may further comprise a direction component determining flow of key information, and an override function to deal with error messages arising from any already-existing security key having the same name.
