Abstract: A method and a device for filling containers with products, in which the products are successively conveyed horizontally to a filling installation in which the products, while being combined to form individual product groups, are grouped, and an offered-up container, which is conveyed horizontally to the filling installation, is filled in a single track with one or a plurality of product groups, wherein the filled containers subsequently are in particular horizontally transported away. The method includes conveying the products in multiple tracks to the filling installation, grouping the products to form product groups, feeding the product groups in multiple tracks to a common revolving vertical conveyor of the filling installation, conveying the product groups to an ejection position from which the product groups are conveyed onward in a single track to an offered-up container, and filling the offered-up container with at least one of the product groups.

Abstract: The present disclosure teaches solutions for transitioning between database system sharing types. In one example, a tenant container includes a read-only table, a first writable table, and a mixed table for storing read-only and writable data. When transitioning to a sharing setup, a shared container is created and a shared table is created in the shared container. Data is copied from the read-only table to the shared table and the read-only table is dropped. A read-only view is created in the tenant container and a second shared table is created in the shared container. Read-only mixed data is copied from the mixed table to the second shared table and deleted from the mixed table, and after the deletion, the mixed table is renamed as the second writable table. A union view is created that provides unified access to the second shared table and the second writable table.

Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for deploying changes to key patterns in database systems. One example method includes receiving a new shared container that includes a new key pattern for a logical split table and an updated read-only-portion physical table for a logical split table. The updated read-only-portion physical table includes records that match a complement of the new key pattern. Records that match the new key pattern are identified in the read-only-portion physical table of the logical split table in a current shared container. The identified records are moved from the read-only-portion physical table in the current shared container to a writable-portion physical table in a tenant container. Records not matching the new key pattern are deleted from the writable-portion physical table of the logical split table in the tenant container.

Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for enabling multiple system sharing types in multi-tenancy database systems. One example method includes determining a system sharing type configuration for a database system. The system sharing type configuration is one of standard, shared, tenant, or simulated. Tables are created in the database system based on the system sharing type configuration and the table sharing type of each table. Content is deployed to created tables in the database system based on the system sharing type configuration and the table sharing type of each table. Access is provided to at least one application to the database system based on the system sharing type configuration and the table sharing type of each table.

Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for deploying changes in a multi-tenancy database system. One example method includes upgrading at least one tenant database container in a database system. Table structure differences and table sharing type differences are determined by comparing tables in a current-version shared container to tables in a next-version shared container. A current key pattern configuration in the current-version shared container is compared to an updated key pattern configuration in the next-version shared container to identify key pattern configuration differences. Each table in the at least one tenant database container is upgraded based on the table structure differences, the table sharing type differences, and the key pattern configuration differences.

Abstract: The disclosure generally describes methods, software, and systems, including a method for updating an application. At least one application instance of an application is managed. Each application instance is associated with a plurality of executing work processes connected with a first database schema. A bridge database schema is generated that is related to the first database schema. The bridge database schema represents a copy of the first database schema and is generated in response to initiation of an update to the application. In response to determining that the generation of the bridge database schema is complete, for each of the plurality of work processes, a commit work action performed by the particular work process is determined. In response to determining performance of the commit work action, the particular work process is connected to the bridge database schema.

Abstract: For the automatic insertion of packs (11) into a large-volume carton (10), two work tools are used, namely, a pack robot (33) with carton holder (30) for holding the cartons (10) ready and a pack robot (33) with head (37) for inserting the individual packs (11) one after another into the carton (10) in the region of a packing station (33). Through relative movement of carton (10) and pack (11), different pack formations are created within the carton (10).

Abstract: A method for handling (flat) objects, particularly hygiene products such as nappies, sanitary napkins or similar, said objects being transported on a substantially continuously-driven feed conveyor and being compressed following transport on said feed conveyor. A group of objects is shifted from the feed conveyor by a shifting device, particularly a slider, said slider at least partially travelling in the transport direction of the feed conveyor with the objects during the shifting action; in that the group of objects is preferably fed, by said shifting device, to a first compression device and is at least partially (pre)compressed thereby; and in that the at least partially (pre)compressed group of objects is subsequently fed to a second compression device and undergoes a further (main) compression therein.

Abstract: A kernel provides a mechanism allowing various applications (e.g. CRM, logistics, procurement, etc.) hosted on a plurality of different application servers, to share access to a common underlying system (e.g. database). An automated process for implementing a kernel change (e.g. for upgrade or replacement) may employ a “Stop-the-World” approach involving suspension of application server instances, coordinated by the start service of the last application server whose kernel is to be changed. As used herein, suspending refers to halting any processing prior to calling a central service (CS) as long as a CS instance is unavailable, and then to resuming processing once the CS instance becomes available. This suspension of relevant clients avoids errors from arising during the downtime of the CS instance. Once the application server instances are in a stopped state, the CS instance is restarted. Then, the application server instances are resumed, and their kernels are changed.

Abstract: A database access interceptor includes a statement pool and a table buffer. The statement pool and the table buffer are associated with physical database connections. The interceptor may include a separate instance of the statement pool for each physical database connection. Similarly the interceptor may include a separate instance of the table buffer for each physical database connection.

Abstract: A monitoring method and apparatus monitors a runtime application to collect and display static and dynamic data concerning software entities and database operations in a runtime environment. In one embodiment, monitoring classes are used to collect monitoring data from at least one PersistenceUnit (PU) and at least one PersistenceContext (PC) associated with the PU of an application the uses an in implementation of a Java Persistence Application Programming Interface (JPA). A Java Management Extension (JMX) MBean communicates with the monitoring classes to expose monitoring data outside the runtime environment.
