  • Patent number: 11513905
    Abstract: A data protection application creates backups of assets. Each asset is mapped in a directory service to one or more asset owners. The directory service is separate from the data protection application. A search query from a user seeking to search the backups is received at the data protection application. The directory service is consulted to identify assets having the user as an asset owner. A search filter is generated including a list of the identified assets. The search filter is applied to the search query to exclude from a search result backups of assets not having the user as the asset owner. The search result is returned to the user, the search result thereby including backups of assets having the user as an asset owner and excluding other backups of other assets not having the user as the asset owner.

  • Patent number: 11513919
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are techniques for generating fractional checkpoints on a distributed file system by snapshotting subcomponents referred to as “file sets.” The techniques include capturing a present time; calculating from configured parameters a future wakeup time for a subsequent set of checkpoints from the present time; walking a database of meta file set objects to locate at least one meta file set object; calculating a retention period for a snapshot that is being created; and generating a global data-less snapshot for the meta file set object and remote data file set objects associated with the meta file set object, and then repeating the process for subsequent file set objects in the database.

  • Patent number: 11500873
    Abstract: Methods and systems for searching directory access groups are disclosed. A set of groups associated with a logon user is determined. The set of groups is partitioned into one or more disjoint subsets, wherein each of the disjoint subsets is represented by a data representation including a root node and one or more intermediate nodes. For each of the disjoint subsets, the disjoint subset is path compressed to flatten a structure of the data representation representing the disjoint subset. The data representation is cached to a database cache.

  • Patent number: 11494665
    Abstract: A system and method for a high-performance, scalable, multi-tenant, dynamically specifiable, knowledge graph information storage and utilization. The system uses an in-memory associative array for high-performance graph storage and access, with a non-volatile distributed database for scalable backup storage, a scalable, distributed graph service for graph creation, an indexing search engine to increase searching performance, and a graph crawler for graph traversal. One or more of these components may be in the form of a cloud-based service, and in some embodiments the cloud-based services may be containerized to allow for multi-tenant co-existence with no possibility of data leakage or cross-over.

  • Patent number: 11487756
    Abstract: In some implementations, a method performed by data processing apparatuses includes receiving configuration data for a preconfigured data connector, including connection parameters, time interval parameters, and data transformation parameters. The connection parameters are used to establish a connection to a bulk data source. In response to determining that an amount of time has elapsed that corresponds to the time interval parameters, bulk data is retrieved from the bulk data source for a given time interval, and the retrieved bulk data is transformed in accordance with the data transformation parameters. Based on transforming the retrieved bulk data, a data metric is generated that condenses the retrieved bulk data. A predetermined predicted metric value is received from a prediction data source for the data metric for a time interval that corresponds to the given time interval, and the predicted metric value is stored with the measured metric value.

  • Patent number: 11481455
    Abstract: Techniques for using contextual information relating to content presented by a television as part of a search query for an information search are presented. A search management component, at a given moment in time during presentation of television-related content by a communication device in or associated with a television, identifies contextual information associated with a section of the television-related content and generates a content identifier timestamp associated with the contextual information and the section of television-related content. A search component augments a search query using the contextual information to facilitate customization of a subset of search results based on the contextual information. The contextual information in the search query can facilitate disambiguating the search query or promoting a search result over another search result in the subset of search results, based on the contextual information, to facilitate customization of the subset of search results.

  • Patent number: 11468060
    Abstract: Embodiments allow a primary database system (“primary”) to automatically detect queries directed to the primary database that may be offloaded to a standby database system (“standby”), and then to automatically offload the offload-eligible queries to a standby. The primary identifies offload-eligible queries based on a record of up-to-date database objects within each standby that replicates the primary database. The record of up-to-date standby objects is updated based on heartbeat messages from each standby, and commit timestamps for transactions on the primary. Evaluation of whether a query is offload-eligible is triggered by one or more trigger conditions that include: inclusion of an offload optimizer hint in the query, an estimated run-time of the query, etc. Embodiments further allow an offloaded query over particular changed data in the primary database to access, on a standby database, uncommitted changes made to the particular data in the primary database.

  • Patent number: 11461297
    Abstract: The system ensures database validity by obtaining a data structure representing data processing blocks and a data flow among the data processing blocks. A first data processing block includes a first data input and the second data processing block includes a second data output. The system obtains controls associated with the data structure, where a first control corresponds to the first data output, and a second control corresponds to the second data input. The system obtains data to be processed by the first data processing block, processes the data through the first data processing block, and executes the first control based on the processed data. Based on the execution, the system determines whether the processed data satisfies the first control. If the processed data does not satisfy the first control, the system generates an alert indicating a problem with the output data validity.

  • Patent number: 11455358
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for data spaces for multi-tenancy computing. In an embodiment of the invention, different application networks are deployed into a multi-tenancy computing environment. The different application networks each provide common program logic for one or more application instances accessed by different end users. As well, the different end users exchange messages between one another within a same one of the networks. For each of the networks, a separate data space is defined within the multi-tenancy computing system, each including an interface to one or more data repositories. Finally, data queries by ones of the different end users may be processed by extracting meta-data from each of the queries and filtering corresponding underlying data queries to the data repositories with a key derived from the extracted meta-data.
