Abstract: Embodiments of systems and methods for automatic combination of text mining services, may comprise an instance generation component and an auto-mapping component. From common text sources, the instance generation component generates instances for taxonomy elements attached to a particular text mining service. These instances are then forwarded to the auto-mapping component, which computes a mapping between different taxonomies. This mapping may be saved to avoid repeated instance generation and mapping processes for similar taxonomies. The computed mapping may in turn be input to a result combiner element, together with extraction results from calling the different text mining services. The result combiner returns the merged result sets to the execution, and finally to the user or API.

Abstract: Embodiments implement data and meta data versioning in order to adapt reported data (“actuals”) for planning purposes. A versioning engine receives from an operative system (e.g. ERP system), root variants. These root variants may comprise existing actual data and corresponding underlying corporate meta data. Based upon user input, the versioning engine creates from these root variants, additional variants of the data and/or meta data. A new data variant may be based upon the original corporate meta data unchanged (e.g. for projecting existing product lines). A data variant may alternatively be based upon a new meta data variant reflecting changes to the original corporate meta data (e.g. for adopting an entirely new product line). By effectively depicting relationships between actual data and plan data, and between that data and its underlying meta data, versioning allows a user to visualize evolution of actual data into plan data for forecasting purposes.

Abstract: An estimation algorithm can generate a uniqueness metric representative of data in a database table column that is split across a plurality of data partitions. The column can be classified as categorical if the uniqueness metric is below a threshold and as non-categorical if the uniqueness metric is above the threshold. A first estimation factor can be assigned to the column if the column is classified as categorical or a larger second estimation factor can be assigned if the column is non-categorical. A cost estimate for system resources required to perform a database operation on the database table can be calculated. The cost estimate can include an estimated total number of distinct values in the column across all of the plurality of data partitions determined using the assigned first estimation factor or second estimation factor and a number of rows in the table as inputs to an estimation function.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for displaying objects in client GUI. A lead selection and scoping information is used to determine whether the object is viewable, and the object is rendered only if it is at least partially viewable. The lead selection and scoping information is used to determine whether data is needed to render the object, and data is received from a corresponding object on a server only if it is needed to render the object. Determining whether the object is viewable in the GUI can be based on declaratively marked entities within the object's view and on view calculation rules. Determining whether data is needed to render the object can be based on declaratively marked entities within the object's data model such as flags indicating whether the data field is valid or whether the binding of the data field to a data source is valid.

Abstract: A service type repository is populated with types of services exposed on a network that has a dynamic organization. The services are embedded on one or more devices included in the network and the services providing information about the one or more devices. A query is received that includes a request for a type of service, and the requested type of service is compared to the types of services in the service type repository to select a collection of matching service types that satisfy the request. Active instances of services that have a type included in the collection of matching service types are identified. The active instances are instances of services embedded on one or more devices included in the network. When no active instances are identified, active instances of services that have a type included in the collection of matching service types are discovered.

Abstract: The current subject matter provides a method to upgrade an individual tenant by moving the individual tenant from a source computing system that implements an older software version to a target computing system that implements a newer software version. The movement of the individual tenant incorporates a movement of customer-specific data associated with the moved tenant. Instead of just upgrading a same multi-tenancy computing system implementing the tenant that needs to be upgraded, a new (target) multi-tenancy computing system implementing a newer software version is installed such that this tenant can be moved from the (source) multi-tenancy computing system to the new (target) multi-tenancy computing system. The data associated with the moved tenant is adjusted to new structures associated with the newer software version.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to computing, and in particular, to a systems and methods for a querying a database. Certain embodiments implement a model-driven database query (“the SADL query”) facilitating a design-time tool that allows a developer to create the query based upon existing Business Objects (BOs) and their associations. This SADL query leverages mapping between business-layer entities and database-layer entities, such mapping being derived from association metadata already extant in the business model used to create the Business Objects. In certain embodiments, query views may be based upon associations present within the business layer, rather than upon database-level entities (such as joins or restriction rules) that are typically relied upon in conventional query creation. Embodiments of the present invention may thus align query creation more closely with the structure of the business layer, and may also render query design agnostic relative to the identity of the underlying database.

Abstract: Described herein is a technology for providing enhanced transactional caching. In accordance with one aspect, a transactional cache associated with a database is configured. Execution of a write operation on the database is delayed until a flush is determined to be necessary. The write operation is delayed by writing to the transactional cache. The flush is invoked by writing inserted or updated records in the transactional cache to the database via a bulk operation.
