  • Patent number: 11030180
    Abstract: A data migration system and method operate within a database platform system, which includes first and second databases, to provide data migration between databases. The data migration includes automatically generating a globally unique identifier for each record of the first database, such as upon creation of each record. Records in the second database are updated or inserted according to whether or not records in the second database have globally unique identifiers that correspond to globally unique identifiers of records in the first database.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10891357
    Abstract: A method and system for allowing an independent software vendor (ISV) access to proprietary software code for software of an organization has been developed. An ISV generates a login request that masquerades as a user of the software. A license management system that controls access to the software, is accessed and determines if two session IDs are present. The presence of two separate session IDs identifies the ISV and if detected, the ISV is allowed access to the proprietary software code. Finally, the organization is notified about the ISV's access to the proprietary software code.

  • Patent number: 10547601
    Abstract: A platform is provided to allow the developer to log into a subscriber's computer system by using the credential of the developer or the subscriber to view and to debug at least a portion of executable code that is used by the subscriber. The executable code used by the subscriber may be part of managed package code, at least portions of which are customized for various subscribers. Cooperative debugging may be provided between developer and subscriber with lifting of code encapsulation for the developer in the subscriber implementation. The developer and the subscriber may be granted debugging licenses each authorizing a limited number of debugging sessions, and each debugging session run by the developer may be counted against the debugging license of either the developer or the subscriber. Debugging licenses may be transferred between the developer and the subscriber.
