Patent number: 11907162Abstract: Computer-readable media, methods, and systems are disclosed for minimizing data volume growth in a database system under changes to an encryption status of a plurality of data pages persisted to a database. Initially, a request is received to update an encryption parameter associated with the database. Next, it is determined whether a candidate page requires encryption changes. In response to determining that the candidate page is not currently in use by one or more active database snapshots and not currently loaded in main memory, the candidate page is loaded into main memory. Next, an encryption operation is performed on the candidate page, and the encrypted page is designated for persistence. Finally, based on a current number of candidate pages already encrypted during a current save point cycle, the selective iteration is paused until a subsequent save point cycle.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2021Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Dirk Thomsen, Axel Schroeder

Patent number: 11899645Abstract: A two phase move technique for moving groups of tables may reduce cross-host communication and length of table locks. A group including a first table and a second table may be moved to the destination host system. This is done by creating a third table replicating the first table and creating a fourth table replicating the second table on the destination host, and replicas of other tables in the group. The tables in the group are not locked against modifications during the creation of the replica tables. After the creation of the replicas, roles of the original tables and the created tables are switched such that the original tables are set to the replica role and the created tables stored on the destination are set to the source role. The original tables are dropped after the switching of the roles.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2022Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Fei Qiu, Hans-Joerg Leu, Srinivas Gajjalakonda, Dan Ding

Patent number: 11900153Abstract: Techniques and solutions are described for implementing virtual domains. Computing resources in a computing environment are determined and assigned to one or more virtual domains. One or more data structures can be located in a given virtual domain. The computing resources assigned to a virtual domain can be dynamically reconfigured without affecting processes that submit tasks to be performed on data structures in the virtual domains. Tasks can be submitted to a dispatcher, which can determine the appropriate virtual domain for the task and forward the task to the determined virtual domain. Tasks are received by virtual domains and assigned to worker threads, which can access a data structure specified for a given task.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2022Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Tiemo Bang, Norman May, Ismail Oukid, Carsten Binnig

Publication number: 20240048593Abstract: The source code of an HTML form can be analyzed to derive parameter rules that are subsequently enforced when apparent content of the HTML form is received. Such parameter rules can be drawn from client-side restrictions that are extracted from the HTML source, which are then enforced to prevent content violating the rules from reaching the backend. A proxy can sit between the application and the apparent browser. Dynamically generated HTML can be supported via a headless browser that mirrors HTML that would be present at a browser. Useful for preventing HTML form-based attacks and identifying clear cases of malicious HTML form requests.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 5, 2022Publication date: February 8, 2024Applicant: SAP SEInventors: Cedric Hebert, Merve Sahin

Publication number: 20240045955Abstract: A trained machine learning model can determine whether a portion of programming code contains a security event. The determination can be included in a security assessment. The category of security event can also be determined. During training, observed portions of programming code labeled according to whether they contain a security event and the category of security event can be tokenized. Vectors can be generated from the tokens. The machine learning model can generate a new vector for an incoming portion of programming code and compare against combined vectors for the observed portions of programming code. A security assessment can indicate whether the incoming portion of programming code contains a security event, the category of the event, or both. For training purposes, security logging statements can be removed from training code.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 3, 2022Publication date: February 8, 2024Applicant: SAP SEInventors: Merve Sahin, Cedric Hebert, Noemi Daniele, Francesco Di Cerbo

Publication number: 20240048517Abstract: A method includes receiving by a chat server a client request from a client device communicating with the chat server. The chat server generates a server response that is transmitted to the client device. A nudge repository is searched for a nudge action based on a set of tokens generated from at least a portion of the client request. In response to finding the nudge action, a user cohort to receive the nudge action is determined. A nudge request including the nudge action and the user cohort is generated and transmitted to the chat server. The nudge action is deployed from the chat server to one or more client devices associated with one or more user identifiers in the user cohort. The nudge action is rendered as a nudge at the one or more client devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 3, 2022Publication date: February 8, 2024Applicant: SAP SEInventor: Natesan Sivagnanam

Patent number: 11892999Abstract: A system and method for faster access for compressed time series data. A set of blocks are generated based on a table stored in a database of the data platform. The table stores data associated with multiple sources of data provided as consecutive values, each block containing index vectors having a range of the consecutive values. A block index is generated for each block having a field start vector representing a starting position of the block relative to the range of consecutive values, and a starting value vector representing a value of the block at the starting position. The field start vector of the block index is accessed to obtain the starting position of a field corresponding to a first block and to the range of the consecutive values of the first block. The starting value vector is then determined from the block index to determine an end and a length of the field of the first block.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2022Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Gordon Gaumnitz, Robert Schulze, Lars Dannecker, Ivan Bowman, Daniel James Farrar
