Patent number: 9563519Abstract: In an example embodiment, updated repository instances are typically developed on a development system, transferred to a testing system, and after testing, transferred to a production system. Such an updated instance may comprise content, sources and a data dictionary. As an updated instance is moved from one system to another, the change is applied to an original instance. A shadow copy of content is kept for the original instance. In another example embodiment, a shadow copy of content is created as part of the change process. The sources and data dictionary may have their own versioning mechanism. To undo the applied change, the sources and data dictionary are rolled back to their pre-change state. The content is retrieved from the shadow copy and restored to the original instance. Finally, stranded data is restored according to appropriate policies.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2013Date of Patent: February 7, 2017Assignee: SAP SEInventor: Michael Vollmer

Patent number: 9558216Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for moving a table from a source node to a destination node. In one example, the method includes receiving metadata associated with an in-memory database table stored at a source node. A table container is created responsive to receiving the metadata. The destination node sequentially requests, from the source node, portions of the table, wherein the table is serialized at the source node to provide a serialized sequence of table portions. Sequentially requesting comprises sending a request for a next portion of the table after processing a received portion, which includes receiving a portion of the serialized table, deserializing the received portion, adding the deserialized portion to the created table container, and in response to an end of file indication associated with the received portion, ending the requests and finalizing the table.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2014Date of Patent: January 31, 2017Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Colin Florendo, Ivan Schreter

Patent number: 9558258Abstract: A hybrid database table is stored as both a row and a column store. One or more techniques may be employed alone or in combination to enhance performance of the hybrid table by regulating access to, and/or the size of, the processing-intensive column store data. For example during an insert operation, the column store data may be searched for a uniqueness violation only after certain filtering and/or boundary conditions have been considered. In another technique, a hybrid table manager may control movement of data to the column store based upon considerations such as frequency of access, or underlying business logic. In still another technique, querying of the hybrid table may result in a search of the column store data only after an initial search of row store data fails to return a result.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2014Date of Patent: January 31, 2017Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Yongsik Yoon, Chanho Jeong, Juchang Lee, Chang Bin Song, Yong Sik Kwon, Sang Kyun Cha
