Abstract: Described herein is a technology for facilitating delta data load. In some implementations, history tables corresponding to physical tables in a data source are provided in a database layer. The database layer includes change list tables corresponding to the history tables and a physical data model based on one or more physical tables. Delta data is determined by analyzing the change list table to create delta data summary tables. Key lists are generated for summary tables corresponding to physical tables which physical data is based. The delta data is applied to the physical data model.

Abstract: Example systems and methods of context-driven information access are presented. In one example, a request for information concerning an application is received from a user device employing the application. Also received from the user device is context information related to execution of the application. Based on the request and the context information, information concerning the application is retrieved. The information concerning the application is then transmitted to the user device while the user device is employing the application. In some examples, this information may also be shared among other user devices.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, Application Programming Interface (API) source code, including command design patterns, is determined to be executed as a runtime scenario. Class may then be automatically generated as linkable building blocks in accordance with the API source code and command design patterns. For example, API command classes and associated methods may be dynamically read using reflection, and a building block class associated with each API command class may be generated. Runtime readable embedded metadata may be planted in the building block classes, at least some of the metadata being provided by the reflection. According to some embodiments, a logical sequence of the building blocks classes may be linked in accordance with the runtime scenario.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, a data source is accessed from which data will be retrieved via a plurality of processing threads. The data source may have, for example, a plurality of records with each record being associated with a plurality of identifiers. Each of the plurality of identifiers may be dynamically evaluated as a potential range identifier, and the evaluation may be based at least in part on a number of distinct values present within each identifier. One of the potential range identifiers may be selected as a selected range identifier, and the plurality of records may be divided into ranges defined using the selected range identifier.

Abstract: A computerized method for accessing a business object for a user defined process includes receiving at a computer system a request for generation of a user process for access to a business object, and generating via the computer system an SADL (Service Adaptation Definition Language) from a data mapping of business object data of the business object, wherein the data mapping includes a mapping of the data mapping. The computer method further includes generating via the computer system a plurality of artifacts to support the user process, wherein the SADL file is an artifact for designing the user process at a design time and for run time execution of the user process.

Abstract: A distributed database system is provided in which a commit coordinator ensures that transactions spanning multiple database instances are committed or rolled back consistently. The commit coordinator utilizes an extended two-phase-commit process. The extension of the two-phase-commit process enables, that if within the distributed database cohorts store redundant data for a productive operation, only one of the cohorts out of a redundancy group are required. By this, the distributed database is prepared to continue operation even during shutdown or failure of single cohorts. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

Abstract: Devices, methods and systems for processing database queries formatted differently than the database storage model being queried are disclosed. Processing database queries independent of the storage model of the queried database may be performed by receiving a query for one or more data items stored in a database, determining whether to use at least one query operator that uses data having a format different from the storage model format of at least one of one or more data items stored in the database and converting the format of the data used by the at least one query operator to a format that matches the storage model format of at least one of one or more data items stored in the database. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also described.

Abstract: Disclosed is a protocol for a fault-tolerant, private distributed aggregation model that allows a data consumer to calculate unbounded statistics (weighted sums) over homomorphically encrypted sensitive data items from data producers. The data consumer can choose to calculate over an arbitrary subset of all available data items, thus providing fault tolerance; i.e., failing data producers do not prevent the statistics calculation. A key-managing authority ensures differential privacy before responding to the data consumer's decryption request for the homomorphically encrypted statistics result, thus preservation the data's producer's privacy. Security against malicious data consumers is provided along with aggregator obliviousness, differential privacy in a unidirectional communication model between data producers and data consumers.

The first system makes the service available to a second system for access using an HTTP request. The method includes installing a test program in the first system. The method also includes testing the installed service using the test program. The HTTP request is generated by the test program and received by the installed service. The method also includes presenting a result of the testing.

Abstract: Embodiments of methods and systems for database viewing, create a copy of a vendor view in a customer view layer that is present between an interface layer and the database layer. In certain embodiments this copy of the vendor view may contain no customer specific logic, simply serving as a 1:1 projection in the customer view allowing the vendor to track customer access to particular vendor views. According to some embodiments, the copy of the vendor view may be changed to create a modification view. Changes are applied to the modification view only, leaving the original vendor view unchanged with a link to the stored modification copy. This link can be used to adjust the modification copy whenever a hot fix or a new version of the ‘modified’ database content is installed to the customer system. Embodiments may support consumer extensions to the vendor views and/or to the database itself.

Abstract: Legacy computing system archive files may have unique data structures designed for long-term data retention purposes and not particularly suited for data mining, querying, and other data collection functions needed to prepare certain types of reports. A report specific template may be created to facilitate the extract of specific legacy system data necessary to complete report that is stored in legacy system archive files. Once the data objects containing information relevant to the report have been identified, a hierarchical list of tables and fields of each table associated with each identified data object may be obtained from an external data source for further selection. Copies of the selected table and/or field data may then be extracted, compared, and merged with other data, such as other field and table data, obtained from other sources.

Abstract: A table creation request pertaining to a table in a database maintained on a multi-node data partitioning landscape that comprises a plurality of processing nodes can specify a number of partitions to be generated. At run time, a currently available number of processing nodes in the multi-node data partitioning landscape can be queried, and this currently available number of processing nodes can be compared with the specified number of partitions to be generated for the created table. The table can be generated with the specified number of partitions such that the generated partitions are located across the plurality of partitions according to a load balancing approach if the number of processing nodes equals the number of partitions to be generated or according to other information in the table request if the number of processing nodes does not equal the specified number of partitions.
