  • Patent number: 10866949
    Abstract: A database system can receive, from a client, a query specifying at least one database operation implicating data within a first database and within a second database. The first database can have a first transaction manager and the second database can have a second transaction manager. Thereafter, a plurality of transactions are initiated that are responsive to the query to access the data within the first database and the second database. The first transaction manager and the second transaction manager together coordinate execution of the plurality of transactions. All changes specified by the at least one database operation are persisted in persistence of the first database including changes implicating data stored within the second database. Data responsive to the query can then optionally be provided to the client. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

  • Patent number: 10868673
    Abstract: Example embodiments for controlling access in a network system based on a distributed ledger are presented. In an example embodiment, a plurality of nodes of a computer network capture information describing requested data transactions in the computer network. At least some of the nodes construct transaction blocks for a distributed ledger, with each of the transaction blocks including information describing one or more of the requested data transactions. The nodes publish the transaction blocks to other nodes. The nodes receiving the transaction blocks add those of the transaction blocks that do not include a disallowable requested data transaction to copies of the distributed ledger. One or more arbitrator nodes approve those of the requested data transactions represented in transaction blocks added to the copies of the distributed ledger by a consensus of the nodes.

  • Patent number: 10866938
    Abstract: In one aspect, systems and techniques for modifying a storage structure with newly encryptable fields is described. A delta encryption system loads a current database schema and an object model for a new database schema to a memory. The current database schema includes meta information identifying multiple fields and field information for a current application build. The object model includes meta information identifying multiple fields and field information for a new application build. The fields identified by the object model meta information include one or more encryptable fields. The delta encryption system calculates a field size information for the encryptable fields and compares the meta information from the current database schema with the meta information from the object model. In response to the comparison, the delta encryption system identifies which of the encryptable fields are newly encryptable fields and modifies a database based on the calculated field size information.

  • Patent number: 10866967
    Abstract: Technologies are described for performing replication within a database environment. Where a database transaction is replicated at multiple replica nodes, a replica node is selected as a coordinator replica node for the transaction. The other replica node or nodes are designated as follower replica nodes for the transaction. A follower replica node sends the coordinator replica node a precommit notification when the follower replica node has precommitted the transaction. The coordinator replica node sends the follower replica node a postcommit notification to commit the transaction when the transaction has been precommitted by all of the replica nodes to which the transaction is to be replicated.

  • Patent number: 10860750
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to the design of a (good-to-person) robotics warehouse, and in particular to a warehouse layout model. The warehouse layout model is interposed between a warehouse map/location model containing concrete physical location data (e.g., QR codes), and an overlying warehouse management system generally configured to interact with a robotics system. The warehouse layout model defines basic elements such as •rackspace, •rackspace block, •lane, and •workstation. Those elements may in turn be arranged into basic patterns such as •storage area, •workstation area, •entry area, and others. The layout model also includes a set of basic traveling rules governing the movement of robots in relation to the elements and patterns. The layout model serves as a translator between the generalized warehouse management system, and the location/map model specific to a particular warehouse footprint. The warehouse layout model facilitates adapting the robotic system to changes as the warehouse expands and evolves.

  • Patent number: 10860346
    Abstract: A server receives a web-protocol request from a client that triggers a server-side operation in response to the request. Based on a result of the operation, the server identifies first text information to be returned to the client. A language associated with the client device is determined. A determination is made as to whether a resource file corresponding to the determined language is loaded in a volatile memory on the server. In a case where a resource file corresponding to the determined language is not loaded in the volatile memory, the resource file corresponding to the determined language is loaded from a non-volatile memory into the volatile memory on the server. Second text information which corresponds to the first text information to be returned to the client device is retrieved from the resource file in the volatile memory. The second text information is transmitted to the client.

  • Patent number: 10860793
    Abstract: Methods and systems providing for the generation, sending, updating, and monitoring of electronic documents (eDocuments) based on source documents created in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software. An eDocument is generated based on existing source documents, external data, or from other eDocuments. The method and systems ensure that the generated eDocument is compliant with any technical requirements. The eDocument is generated using a document process which transforms a non-compliant source document into a compliant eDocument. An eDocument Framework system can include a mapping application, application interface framework (AIF), an eDocument interface, and a process manager. The AIF is configured to interact with a cloud services provider to create a highly automated process of generating, sending, updating, and monitoring the eDocuments. The cloud service provider is also configured to interact with local authorities.

  • Patent number: 10860553
    Abstract: Deleting a data record from the second level storage or main store is disclosed. A look-up is performed for the data record in the first level storage, where the data record is defined by a row identifier. If the row identifier is found in the first level storage, a look-up is performed for an updated row identifier representing an update of the data record in the second level storage and the main store, the update of the data record being defined by an updated row identifier. If the updated row identifier is found in the second level storage, an undo log is generated from the first level storage to invalidate a row identifier of the row identifier. A flag is generated representing an invalid updated row identifier, and a redo log is generated to restore the data record in the first level storage.

  • Publication number: 20200380155
    Abstract: Techniques and solutions are described for restricting data that is provided to a machine learning application. Restrictions can be based on use status information, such as use status information associated with a retention manager and indicating whether data is blocked from use. Data identifiers used by a cloud-based system can be correlated with archiving objects of a local system so that the cloud-based system can receive use status information to avoid using blocked data. Restrictions can include restricting data based on whether a data subject has provided consent that allows the data to be used by the machine learning application. A data view can be defined that filters query results to those where consent exits. The data view can join, such as an inner join, a table providing consent information with a data having data subject data.
