Abstract: The invention relates to a method for replicating metadata structure of a target server according to metadata structure of a source server. The method comprises importing the metadata structure of the source server to the target server, wherein the metadata structure defines by means of structure elements semantics for a metadata, which metadata is associated with electronic objects being stored in said source server; mapping the structure elements to corresponding structure elements in the target server according to mapping rules, wherein similarity mapping is performed for referenced structure elements and identity mapping is performed for fully represented structure elements; and copying content elements—if available—containing at least electronic objects with associated metadata from the source server to the target server by applying the imported metadata structure.

Abstract: A running of an application resource of a first site of at least two sites is stopped from accessing a storage device of the first site. A running of a replication resource is brought to a stop. The replication resource is configured to control a replication of data between the storage device on the first site on which data from the running application resource on the first site are stored to the storage device on the second site. A replication request is submitted to the automation engine for changing a replication direction to run from the second site to the first site. The application resource is started on the second site only after changing the replication direction to start from the storage device on the second site instead of from the storage device of the first site.

The result is a query optimizer that takes network choice into consideration, thereby providing a query that is optimized according to the characteristics of the networks.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing structured query language (SQL) access to non-relational data stores are described. SQL access can be provided to a non-relational data store in one embodiment by mapping storage attributes of the data store to one or more virtual relational tables. The virtual tables can include a schema representation of data stored in a non-relational data store without actually including the data in the virtual tables. In some embodiments, these systems and methods therefore advantageously merge certain benefits of relational database architectures with the scalability benefits of certain non-relational data store architectures. Certain features of the systems and methods described herein can also be used with existing relational databases. For example, the systems and methods described herein can perform join or similar operations between a relational table in one data store and a data object in another data store.

Abstract: A method, computer-readable medium, and system for automatic generation of a search query are disclosed.
