The ability to share applications across organizational boundaries can enable tenants in a multi-tenant database system, for example, to easily and efficiently import and export, and thus share, applications with other tenants in the multi-tenant environment.

Abstract: Some embodiments of extraction of critical information from a database in a networked system have been presented. In one embodiment, a subset of data from the database in the networked system is extracted. The subset of data is indexed to generate an index. Using the index, a preview of the subset of data may be provided to users in response to a user request without accessing the database.

Abstract: A toolbar in a document creation application provides the ability to classify documents based on specific properties such as security classification. The toolbar through dropdown selections allows users to select the appropriate classification and properties based upon the content of the document and have appropriate classifiers added to the document. Document classification properties are generated that are associated with the document in the document properties and by inserting visual markings that allow users to quickly identify the security, sensitivity, intended distribution or retention. By utilizing the classification toolbar a user can classify an document by one or more classification levels and be ensured that the classification will be visible to any person viewing the document.

Abstract: A system and method for data deduplication includes a first computer device that determines duplicacy of a data item. If the data item is not a duplicate, the first computer device transmits a request to add an entry for the data item in a deduplication table of a deduplication database. The database adds the entry for the data item while enforcing uniqueness of data across one or more data fields of the deduplication table, where, in enforcing the uniqueness, the database denies an attempt by the second device to add an entry in the deduplication table for the same data item.

Abstract: Networked application event data associated with a session of a networked application is identified and provided to an event data collection system in one format. Web service event data associated with an event of a Web service and also associated with the session is also identified and provided to another event data collection system in another format. The networked application event data and the Web service event data associated with the session identifier are merged into a consolidated storage of event data in a common format.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and products create anonymous loan documents. Electronic loan documents are prepared for a borrower of a loan. An anonymous shadow copy of the electronic loan documents is generated that removes personally identifying information, such as names, addresses, and social security numbers. The anonymous shadow copy of the electronic loan documents may then be electronically published.

Abstract: A method performed by one or more processing devices includes obtaining a definition of a data structure; obtaining a definition of one or more operations to be performed on the data structure, the definition of the one or more operations being in accordance with a first syntax; receiving a request for instructions to perform the one or more operations on the one or more fields of the data structure, the instructions being in accordance with a second syntax; generating a translation of the definition of the one or more operations from the first syntax to the second syntax; generating instructions for accessing the one or more fields of the data structure; and generating the instructions in accordance with the second syntax for performing the one or more operations on the one or more fields of the data structure.

Abstract: Techniques for automatically adding a database device to a network of database devices include sending a first request from the database device in response to detecting that the database device is connected to the network. In response, the database device receives data that identifies a database device-management server. The database device sends a second request to the database device-management server. The second request identifies the database device and requests that the device-management server register the database device in response to the second request. The new database device may be a database appliance having a database process and a special purpose operating system tailored to the database process. With these techniques, a new database device can be plugged into a network and automatically discovered, registered, and assigned management tasks without human intervention. This alleviates the load on human operators and makes adding database device to a network more reliable and simple.

Abstract: The capturing of rich database metadata includes: capturing partitioned column metadata of a database as mappings defined by a plurality of constraint statements; defining non-standard user-defined types of the database according to a schema; defining physical representations of columns of the database according to the schema; and storing the defined mappings, the defined user-defined types, and the defined physical representations of columns to a catalog of the database. Application enumerated data values in the database may also be defined according to the XML schema and stored to the catalog of the database. In this manner, the database management system may manage application constraints, user-defined types, and physical representations of data for applications referencing the same database using the metadata information stored in the catalog of the database.

Abstract: A system and method is provided of generating a map. In one aspect, the map is transmitted by a server as an image. Listings are selected based on both their proximity to the location and whether they match arbitrary words provided by a user, with one set being transmitted as text and another set being transmitted as image data representing icons on a transparent background. In response, a user's computer displays the image of the second set as an overlay on the map, and processes the text to display the first set as icons on the map.

Abstract: Systems and methods for managing data, such as metadata or non-metadata such as content. In one exemplary method, a composite document is received and it is determined whether the composite document contains at least one subdocument and if it does, the method captures metadata and/or content from the subdocument and stores the captured metadata and/or content for use in future searches (or an immediate search). The metadata and/or content from the composite document is typically combined together with information about the hierarchy of the subdocuments in the document. The type of information in metadata for one type of file differs from the type of information in metadata for another type of file. Other methods are described and data processing systems and machine readable media are also described.
