  • Patent number: 9639818
    Abstract: An event type generator may provide a training set for classifying documents with respect to an event type. The event type generator may include a request handler to receive the event type and at least one example document, a text analyzer to extract first entities from the at least one example document, and a result manager to execute a first search against an indexed corpus of documents, to obtain first search results, and further to receive at least one selected document from the first search results. The request handler may extract second entities from the at least one selected document, and execute a second search against the indexed corpus of documents, to obtain second search results. The event type generator may thus provide the at least one example document, the first search results, and the second search results as the training set.

  • Patent number: 9639538
    Abstract: Archiving may be integrated into an organization's existing data management systems instead of being configured as a separate system. This integration may occur by adding an archiving table to an existing database of the organization containing data that is to be archived. The archiving table may include multiple records, each record storing a binary large object representing a complete, self-contained archive of the organization's data at a preselected time. Incorporating archiving and archived data into the organization's existing data management systems in this manner may eliminate the need for a dedicated archiving system and may eliminate synchronization and interconnectivity issues with an independent archiving system.

  • Patent number: 9639528
    Abstract: The embodiments may be adapted to accommodate a plurality of translations of a source text string into a limited available display area of a visual element in a graphical interface of a client system. Text strings in a source language may be received as input. A list of one or more languages selected for the text string to be translated into may also be received as input. The system may then be configured to obtain translations of the text string in the selected languages, to provide a set of translation vectors, and to calculate a minimum display area necessary for a visual element to display the longest translation of the translations contained in the translation vector. The display area of the visual element may then be adjusted to encompass the minimum display area so that the longest translation fits within the display area of the visual element.

  • Patent number: 9639448
    Abstract: An upgrade procedure for an application system without downtime is presented. The upgrade procedure includes a mix of a rolling upgrade of application servers, shadow systems, and record and replay mechanisms that employ transformation and locking, for the upgrade of the applications on the application system. Application servers are upgraded one after another. A target version of the system is simultaneously added to the original system and a shadow, or target, system. Data changes are not only carried out in the original system, but are also carried out in the target system, so that a customer realizes no downtime for their data requests to the applications.

  • Patent number: 9639587
    Abstract: A system and method are described herein that provide for visualizing business objects stored in a backend system in database model views for display as nodes in a user interface. Business objects are retrieved from the backend system, with metadata from the business objects being customized and sorted into a plurality of node types. Each business object may be displayed in a user interface as a node along with other nodes generated from the database model views. The nodes represented by the business objects may be connected by edges that provide for an interconnection between each of the nodes. The edges may be customized by providing directional components to the edges to demonstrate the relationship between the displayed nodes.

  • Patent number: 9639439
    Abstract: In an example embodiment, an instance of a first database and an instance of a first application in a first data center of a managed cloud are replicated to a second data center of the managed cloud. Then state information regarding the first application is stored in a network file system in the first data center. Interactions between a user and the first application are directed to the instance of the first application in the first data center. The state information is then updated based on the interactions, and any changes to the instance of the first database based on the interactions are replicated to the second data center. Then a disaster is detected in the first data center, and all interactions between the user and the first application are redirected to a second instance of the first application in the second data center caused by the replication of the instance of the first application in the first data center.

  • Patent number: 9639542
    Abstract: A text file is received. The text file is arranged in an extensible format and includes a plurality of metadata lines, a header line, and a plurality of content lines. Keys are retrieved from the content lines. For each key, a data type and a number from at least one metadata table is retrieved. Using a combination of each key and the corresponding data type and number, a column title is derived. Upon verification that the derived column title does not already exist, a column for each key is generated in a content table having a dynamic structure in a relational database schema. The column has the derived column title, a column type based on the corresponding retrieved data type, and the number of generated columns determined by the corresponding retrieved number. The retrieved value is mapped into the column associated with the corresponding key.

  • Patent number: 9639572
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques employed alone or in combination, to further enhance a database language and improve conciseness and comprehensiveness of query statements in application code. Embodiments may build upon an initial extension of database language to accommodate concepts of entity-relationship models (ERMs). That initial extension may include entities with structured types, and named associations. One technique modifies SQL to allow the SELECT command to specify element path expressions based upon a relationship (e.g. named associations between ERM elements). Another technique modifies SQL to introduce filter expressions suffixed to associations within path expressions, thus improving adherence to the principle of locality within query statements. Yet another technique allows a shorthand to “factor out” association path prefixes, thereby avoiding lengthy lists of path expressions in order to read several elements from the same nested structure or a same target entity behind a single association.

  • Patent number: 9633075
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to re-writing database query plans, and visualizing such re-written query plans. A query re-write framework includes a query normalization engine in communication with a rule catalog comprising query re-write rules in the form of rule classes. The framework receives as input, a query plan graph to be re-written. Based upon the engine's application of re-write rules from the catalog, the framework produces a re-written query plan graph as output. An interface component of the framework may provide a visualization of the re-written query plan graph as part of a dashboard. A user may access the framework to enable/disable existing rules in the catalog, add new rules to the catalog, and/or control a sequence and a precedence in which rules are applied to re-write the query plan. A user may interact with the visualization of the re-written query plan for purposes of de-bugging, re-write optimization, and/or query development.
