Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods for defining database roles to allow sharing of the objects within a database in a more granular fashion. A database role is created within a database, and privileges are granted to the database role by a provider account. The database role may be granted to a share object, which would result in the share object being indirectly granted all privileges that have been granted to the database role. Once the share object has been hydrated in the consumer account, the local administrator can then decide which local roles are granted usage on the shared database role, thus ultimately allowing some level of filtering as to which shared objects can be accessed by which local roles.

Abstract: Methods for asset type fingerprinting are provided. An example method involves an asset tracking system failing to identify an asset type fingerprint and requesting an asset type fingerprint from an asset data analysis system. The asset data analysis system generates a proposed asset type fingerprint, links the asset type fingerprint to a set of signal definitions that indicate how to decode data messages from the asset. The asset data analysis system transmits the proposed asset type fingerprint to the asset data analysis system, which then decodes at least some data messages from the asset thus obtaining asset information. The method may be used to identify vehicle types and decode proprietary or non-standard data messages via a vehicle's diagnostic port.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for searching multiple data sources are described herein. Users may specify searches of multiple data sources to occur on a periodic basis. The searches may be configured to search time or date ranges that have not previously been searched. A user may select the data sources of interest and specify search terms, review and edit previously created searches, and review results of searches. The system automatically performs the specified searches, and notifies the user and/or a team of the user each time new results are found. The system may efficiently search the data sources by storing previous search results and comparing the previous results to current search results to identify new search results.

Abstract: A per user system include for a virtual desktop includes a server connected to multiple users, wherein each server hosts multiple application sessions accessible by the users. An indexer hosted on the server can be configured to analyze a file on the server to identify a user that owns the file without input from the application sessions and to save the file to a virtual hard disk (VHD) of the identified user. The VHD can be temporarily saved on the server. A communications device can be connected to the indexer, where the communication device can send the VHD of the identified user from the server to a storage device. A processor can be on a second server, where the processor can retrieve the VHD of the identified user from the storage device and temporarily save the VHD of the identified user on the second server.

Abstract: Software is increasingly being developed as a collection of loosely coupled applications. Loosely coupled applications exchange data by publishing data to and retrieving data from a data store, such as a database, a file located on a storage cluster, etc. Data produced by one application and consumed by another is referred to as a data dependency. In some embodiments, an application's data dependencies are identified by analyzing cached query plans associated with the application. Query plans include a hierarchical representation of a query, where non-leaf nodes represent commands and leaf nodes identify data dependencies. An application's data dependencies are identified by traversing the hierarchical representation of the query. Data dependencies consumed by the application are identified by finding leaf nodes that descend from a read command, while data dependencies produced by the application are identified by finding leaf nodes that descend from a write command.

Abstract: A technique for data sharing among multiple filers that share a volume in a private or public cloud object store is implemented. In this approach, a mechanism is provided to enable a local filer to determine whether other filers that are sharing the volume have a consistent view of new data being written to the cloud object store by the local filer. The begins by associating together a collection of one or more files in a “push class.” On demand, a push operation for the push class is initiated on the local filer. Preferably, the push is managed according to one or more push criteria associated with the push class. Typically, the push operation pushes file data and metadata associated with the one or more files of the push class in respective phases, with the file data being pushed to the cloud during a first phase and the metadata associated with that file data being pushed during a second phase that follows the first phase.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating reports reflecting a visualization of, e.g., a dataset on which data analysis has been performed. The data analysis performed on the dataset may be an aggregation of data analysis functionality provided by applications or tools. Dataset visualization is realized in a workspace implemented by a separate application or tool. Potential conflicts regarding updating one or more elements of the dataset are reconciled by implementing a dual operational transform system and method. A global state of the dataset may be determined by a first operational transform system and method, while a local state of the dataset may be determined by a second operational transform system and method. The local state of the dataset may be updated through operational transforms exchanged between the first and second operational transform systems that align the local state of the dataset with the global state of the dataset.
