Abstract: A workflow management system platform may access electronic data records in a scenario database, including, for each of a plurality of scenarios, a scenario identifier and a set of associated workflow identifiers. Electronic data records in a workflow database may also be accessed, including, for each of a plurality of workflows, a workflow identifier, a valid from date, a valid to date, and an order value. Some embodiments may then automatically display information about the plurality of scenarios. For example, for each workflow associated with a scenario, a workflow area may be displayed extending from a start location associated with the workflow's valid from date on the graphical timeline to an end location associated with the workflow's valid to date on the graphical timeline. According to some embodiments, workflow areas within a scenario may be presented in a sequence in accordance with order values.

Abstract: A query is received from a client that specifies 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 responsive to the query are initiated to access the data within the first database and the second database. Execution of the plurality of transactions is then coordinated using the first transaction manager and the second transaction manager. All changes specified by the at least one database operation are logged in a distributed log in the first database including changes implicating data stored within the second database. The distributed log is configured such that it is accessible by both of the first transaction manager and the second transaction manager.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for flexibly managing lock modes in a data-sharing environment, including optimistic and pessimistic lock modes. A lock mode determination service receives a request from an application instance for a lock mode with which to access specified data objects. The service can determine and provide a suitable lock mode based on a context of the application, and optionally other parameters, by evaluating a checklist of criteria sorted in precedential order. Criteria can include geo-boundaries, platform, role, and others. The requesting application instance uses the determined lock mode to access the data, with optional assistance of a lock service. The lock mode determination service can support one or more applications having one or more instances each, and can also support multiple disjoint data-sharing environments. Suitable environments include cloud, datacenter, mobile, client-server, and SAAS.

Abstract: Recovery of a database system can be initiated by taking the database system offline. Thereafter, recovery operations specified by a redo log of the database system are replayed. During the replaying, updates to pages implicated by the recovery operations are blocked. In parallel, modified pages are flushed to physical disk storage. The database is later brought online after all of the recovery operations are replayed.

Abstract: Metadata is stored within a database for each of a plurality of objects in different frames associated with a structure descriptor (e.g., a container directory entry, etc.). The frames are part of a metadata page and each comprising an object and a header specifying a version identifier for the object and a size of the object. The structure descriptor initially is built for a first build identifier. Thereafter, upon the structure descriptor changing from the first build identifier to a second build identifier, at least one of the objects that require migration is identified. The identification is based on the version identifier for the object being different from the second build identifier. In response, the identified objects are migrated from their corresponding frame to a new frame. The new frame includes the objects and new headers that include a version identifier equal to the second build identifier.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for supporting the addition of new instances of database objects and relationships, for a relational database environment that can be partially represented as a graph of fields (columns) of database tables. For a new instance of a graph element (node or edge) to be spawned, the element is classified into one of several use cases. Each database table is analyzed based on its key and non-key fields, according to use-case-dependent rules, to determine whether it should be augmented with a new entry for the new element instance. If yes, then the database table can be augmented, or can be marked for augmentation upon a subsequent request for a new instance of the graph element. Efficient and reliable growth of large and complex relational databases is enabled. Examples are provided across a wide range of domains. Certain variants are also disclosed.

Abstract: Techniques and solutions are described for facilitating the distribution of tables and table data between a shared container and one or more tenant containers.
