Abstract: A temporary system is described to provide, during an upgrade of an application implemented using an original system, a continuous access to the application. A copy of a first data-set characterizing a first version of the application is generated on the temporary system when the upgrade becomes available. A selective access to the copy on the temporary system is enabled while preventing access to the first data-set on an original system. The first data-set on the original system is upgraded to form a second data-set characterizing a second version of the application, and a testing of the second data-set is performed. When a result of the testing indicates that the second data-set should be implemented, an access to the second data-set on the original system is enabled while preventing access to the copy on the temporary system. Related methods, apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method comprising receiving a user request. The method analyzes the data in a plurality of data sets to find inconsistent mappings. Data of data sets, such as columns formed by a join condition, are compared to determine matching or non-matching distinct characteristic values. A composite data set is generated based on the comparison. Another data set is compared with the composite data set, and the composite data set is enhanced. Each data set is compared in sequence, if the composite data set is not empty, until all data sets are analyzed. A result set is generated based on the matching or non-matching distinct characteristic values. The method may also determine if a join operates as a data filter. The operations that are used for analysis may include ‘count distinct’, ‘intersection’ and ‘Boolean operators’.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure may include a system and method for passing documents between sandboxed applications in an efficient manner. When a document is passed from a source application to a target application, information regarding when the document was passed and to which application the document was passed to is stored in a document history table. Once the document is passed back to the source application, a document matching manager relies on information stored in the history table to determine if the document being passed back should overwrite a previous version of the document. If the document matching manager cannot determine that the previous version of the document should be overwritten, a user may be prompted to store the document at a desired location.
