  • Patent number: 11474982
    Abstract: In an example embodiment, a first version of a cloud-based application is deployed. The first version of the cloud-based application contains references, based on a first schema, to a first database. Then a second version of the cloud-based application, different than the first version, is deployed. The second version of the cloud-based application contains references, based on a second schema, to the first database. Then access to the second version of the cloud-based application to one or more user devices is prevented while permitting testing devices to have access to the second version of the cloud-based application, while migrating data from the first schema of the first database to the second schema of the first database. Then access to the second version of the cloud-based application to the one or more user devices is permitted once the migrating of the data is complete.

  • Patent number: 11475361
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to computer-implemented methods, software, and systems for utilizing tools and techniques for identifying process rules for automated execution of instances of a process workflow. One example method includes extracting rules from a machine learning model for prediction of execution results of process workflow instances. Metrics defining coverage and accuracy of the rules are calculated. The rules are evaluated according to the metrics and are reduced to a first set of rules that are provided for further evaluation. A rule from the first set of rules is determined to be incorporated into process rules defined for the process workflow at a process execution engine. The process rules associated with execution of the process workflow are updated to include the first rule and to generate a process result automatically according to the first rule when the instance complies with prerequisites defined at the first rule.

  • Publication number: 20220329612
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer media are described for user risk assessment using similarity analysis. Records of transactions performed by a user while in previous enhanced application access sessions can be evaluated against records of transactions performed by other users in previous sessions. The more similar a user is to other users, the more likely it is the user was acting in a typical manner, and the less likely the user poses a security risk. A similarity analysis can be performed using a bipartite graph linking a group of users and a group of application transactions. By examining an edge between a user and a performed transaction, other edges (and corresponding other users) can be identified that also performed the transaction. A similarity score can be calculated based on the bipartite graph and can be used to determine a risk classification and allow or deny an enhanced application access session request.

  • Publication number: 20220318027
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer media are described for process-oriented application configuring using semantic mapping. Desired application processes can be identified by a user, and a semantic map can be generated linking the application processes, and components of processes, to corresponding configuration objects that are used to implement the processes in the application. Configuration objects can be settings, objects, functions, user interface features, executables, etc. The semantic map thus bridges between the process-oriented view of an application and the functional, implementation-oriented view of the application. The applications can then be configured using the configuration objects identified and linked by the semantic map.

  • Publication number: 20220318249
    Abstract: Technologies are described for routing structured query language (SQL) statements to elastic compute nodes (ECNs) using workload classes within a distributed database environment. The elastic compute nodes do not store persistent database tables. For example, a SQL statement can be received for execution within the distributed database environment. A workload class can be identified that matches properties of the SQL statement. Based on the workload class, a routing location hint can be obtained that identifies a set of elastic compute nodes. The SQL statement can then be routed to one of the identified elastic compute nodes for execution. Execution of the SQL statement at the elastic compute node can involve retrieving database data from other nodes which store persistent database tables.

  • Patent number: 11461088
    Abstract: Embodiments offer early assessment of upgrade compliance checking upon software landscape production data, prior to actually executing a full impact analysis. In a pre-transport phase, discrete upgrade compliance checks are run and corresponding reports returned to individual developers. In a transport phase, batches of combined compliance checks (bundled into released transports) are run and corresponding reports returned to higher level users. According to certain embodiments, pre-transport and/or transport compliance checking is performed upon landscape production data condensed to a bi-value states. Such condensing can desirably reduce stored data volumes and impart security. According to some embodiments, pre-transport and/or transport compliance checking is performed upon production data merged across multiple landscapes. This avoids storing redundant upgrade check data.
