Abstract: Content deployment systems and methods are provided for continuously integrating and deploying selected content items from a plurality of content sources into a specific release as part of the specific release. For example, a first content source stores a plurality of first content items for potential inclusion in the specific release. A manifest record for the specific release specifies release items, that are allowed to be part of the specific release. A proxy can periodically retrieve selected ones of the first content items that are specified in the manifest record, and push them to a content publishing engine. Any content items that are not specified in the manifest record are rejected by the proxy. A processor of the content publishing engine can allow for continuous integration of the selected ones of the first content items into the specific release.

Abstract: A database system may determine that a database is unavailable to generate an identifier for an event or that events may not be written to the database. As a result, the database system may write the event to a low-latency, supplementary file system. The database system may determine that the database is available at a later time, and read the event from the supplementary file system, store the event in a memory component, and then delete the event from the supplementary file system. The database system may then access the database to generate an identifier for the event, write the event to the database, and then delete the event from the memory component.

Abstract: An achievement platform may be maintained using a database system. A user interface may be displayed on a device of an authorized user of the achievement platform. The user interface may be configurable to allow the authorized user to create or modify customizable awards that are achievable based on customizable logic definable by the authorized user. The authorized user may be affiliated with a first one of a plurality of organizations implementing an application or service. Input, to create a first award based on first customizable logic may be processed. The first customizable logic may be configured by the authorized user such that satisfaction of conditions causes designated users associated with the application or service to be presented with the first award. It may be determined that a first user affiliated with the first organization has satisfied the conditions. The first user may be presented with the first award.

Abstract: A learning platform may be integrated with an application or service using a database system. A user interface associated with the application or service may be displayed on a device of a user of an application or service. The user may be identified as being associated with a learning platform. First data related to performance of the user in the learning platform may be accessed. An interaction of the user with the application or service may be processed. It may be determined that the user is unauthorized to perform the interaction. The user may be presented with learning content associated with the learning platform. In response to determining that the user has completed the learning content, authorization to perform the interaction may be provided to the user.

Abstract: Disclosed are some examples of database systems, methods, and computer program products for processing log files. In some implementations, a server of a database system accesses a metadata file indicating algorithms that can be applied to data of log files. The server generates customer-facing log files using the log file and metadata file. The customer-facing log files include new data derived from using the algorithms and the data of the log files.

Abstract: Computer-implemented methods and systems are provided for writing events to a data store. An application server generates events, the data store that stores the events, and a temporary events file storage system (TEFSS) temporarily stores groups of events as events files. When events are unable to be written directly to the data store, an indirect events writer is invoked that includes event capture threads each being configured to generate a particular events file, and write it to the TEFSS. Each events file includes a plurality of events flushed from an in-memory buffer service. An events file uploader service reads the events file(s) from the TEFSS, and then writes the events from each of the events files to the data store.

Abstract: Content deployment systems and methods are provided for integrating and deploying selected content items in a web content publishing process. A first content source can manage and store a plurality of first content items for potential inclusion in a specific release that is published as web content. Each content item can include one or more of: a set of directions for rendering web content and actual content that is rendered as web content. A content publishing module can store a manifest record that specifies release items that are allowed to be part of the specific release, and receive a content package object, from the first content source, that includes the first content items. It can then extract selected ones of first content items that are specified in the manifest record, and add them into a release object so that they are included as part of the specific release.

Abstract: Content deployment systems and methods are provided for integrating and deploying selected content items as part of a specific release. A content publishing engine includes a processor that can execute a release management API that is configured to manage and store a manifest record that specifies release items by API name that are allowed to be part of the specific release. The processor is configured to execute a bulk API that is configured to receive content package objects from a plurality of content sources. For example, the first content source can directly invoke the bulk API to send first content items to the content publishing engine. A filter module can extract selected first content items that are specified in the manifest record for inclusion in the specific release, and add the selected first content items into a release object so that they are included as part of the specific release.

Abstract: Disclosed are examples of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for providing user-customizable permissions governing user access to computing resources in a computing system. For example, a database storing data objects identifying permissions of users, sets of the permissions, and users can be maintained. One or more fields can be displayed on a display of a user device. The one or more fields can be configured to receive input to perform one or more operations. Input can be received from a user via the user interface on the display of the user device. One or more operations can be performed. The database can be updated such that the data objects identify a custom permission or a permission set to which a custom permission has been assigned.

Abstract: Disclosed are examples of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for creating custom platform objects for a multi-tenant non-relational database environment. A database system maintains a multi-tenant non-relational database associated with multiple enterprises and a number of records for each of the enterprises. The system also maintains a dynamic virtual table associated with a number of records. A request is received from one of the enterprises to define a custom data object within the database system, uniquely associated with an enterprise. The request is processed, and a custom object is generated based on the request. The custom object defines database columns corresponding to the data object and the enterprise. The virtual table is updated to include virtual columns corresponding to the database column definitions, and existing columns of a shared table in the non-relational database are updated to match the virtual columns.

Abstract: Disclosed are some examples of database systems, methods, and computer program products for processing log files. In some implementations, a server of a database system accesses a log file having a release version. The log file includes data entries identifying system events corresponding to user activity. The server generates or updates, based on the release version of the log file, a metadata file indicating approved entry types and approved data. The server also generates or updates, based on the log file and the metadata file, customer-facing log files. Each customer-facing log file is associated with a corresponding customer entity capable of being serviced by the database system. Each customer-facing log file includes a subset of the entries and a subset of the data items of at least one of the entries.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, apparatus, systems, and computer program products for provisioning log file data. To provision the log file data, a server can parse through log files by identifying particular log entries and data fields. Customer-facing log files can be generated based on the identified log entries and data fields. A customer-facing log file has log file data specific to a particular customer, which can be a tenant of a multi-tenant database system. A security mechanism can be configured to prevent one tenant from accessing the customer-facing log file of another tenant of the multi-tenant database system.

Abstract: Disclosed are examples of systems, apparatus, methods, and computer program products for generating content objects using an integrated development environment. In some implementations, an integrated development environment is displayed. A request to generate or update an educational content object can be processed, and a presentation including metadata selection options can be provided. After a selection of one of the metadata selection options is received, the presentation can be updated. A different request is received from a rich text editor provided in a new presentation, and the new presentation can be updated.

Abstract: A permission management system enables a system administrator to more effectively manage the large number of permissions associated with database systems. The permission management system accumulates groups of permissions associated with selected users, profiles, or permission sets. The permission management system then performs selectable comparisons on the different groups of permissions, such as identifying common permissions, unique permissions, and differing permissions. The permission management system also may identify permissions in a first permission group that do not exist in a second permission group and assign the identified permissions to the second permission group.

Abstract: Disclosed are some examples of database systems, methods, and computer program products for processing log files. In some implementations, log files can be accessed and identifiers can be generated for the data entries of the log files. The generated identifiers can be used to determine whether data entries in the log files are new, and therefore, should be extracted for analysis.

Abstract: Disclosed are some examples of systems, methods, apparatus and computer program products for scheduling jobs to process log files. In some implementations, a scheduler can be configured to identify a final state of a previously scheduled first job as a failure in execution by one or more processors. For instance, the first job may have been defined to process a first input log file saved to a database during a first timeframe of a sequence of timeframes of a designated interval. The scheduler can detect a second input log file saved to the database. The scheduler can then define a second job to process the first input log file and the second input log file and schedule the second job in association with a second timeframe of the sequence.
