Abstract: A method for configurable in-application event logging may include receiving, from a client device, one or more user inputs specifying at least one of an event of interest associated with an operation of a software application and a data to collect in response to the event of interest. A logging agent may be configured, based on the user inputs, to respond to the specified event of interest by generating one or more log messages including the specified data. The logging agent may be as a first programming code embedded within a second programming code implementing the software application such that the logging agent is able to access a context of each executing instance of the software application. Related systems and computer program products are also provided.

Abstract: A system and method for uploading data from a customer system to a hosted system is disclosed. A stub is integrated with a firewall between the customer system and the hosted system. The stub includes an inbound layer on the customer system side of the firewall and an outbound layer on the hosted system side of the firewall, and the inbound layer includes a write-only directory. A demon is connected between the inbound layer and the outbound layer of the stub. The demon is configured to recognize newly received data in the write-only directory of the inbound layer, encrypt the newly received data to generate encrypted data, and move the encrypted data to the outbound layer for access by the hosted system.

Abstract: Conversion of a snowflake-like schema to a star-like schema includes a distribution of the snowflake-like schema across several host computer systems. Each host computer system has a fragment of the snowflake-like schema, including a fragment of constituent fact tables. Dimension keys in the fact table fragments are mapped to data tables via the constituent dimension tables. Data table keys are identified and populate the fact table for the converted star-like schema, thus obviating the dimension tables in the converted star-like schema.
