  • Patent number: 10304222
    Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for graphically displaying recommended mappings between a source data object and a target data object in a design time of a cloud-based integration service. The system can include a recommendation engine that provides recommended mappings between the source and target data objects, so that the recommended mappings can be graphically displayed in a mapping interface. The recommended mappings can be filtered based one or more filtering criteria. Each recommended mapping can be displayed differently from an actual mapping, and can be associated with a reliability/quality indicator. A particular recommended mapping can be accepted to become an actual mapping, or to be rejected. The system allows a user to toggle between actual mappings and recommended mappings between the source and target data objects.

  • Patent number: 10291701
    Abstract: A shortcut to a file in a cloud desktop can be virtualized. A file shortcut virtualizer can be executed on a server and a client terminal that establishes remote sessions with the server. Server-side components of the file shortcut virtualizer can be configured to identify when a file shortcut has been created on a user's cloud desktop and to send information about each created shortcut to client-side components of the file shortcut virtualizer. The client-side components can then employ this information to create a virtual shortcut for each file shortcut on the user's cloud desktop. A virtual shortcut corresponding to a particular file can be configured to invoke a remote application launcher and can include information identifying a connection file that the remote application launcher should use to directly open the particular file using an associated remote application.
