Patent number: 11741100Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for providing matching security between data stores are described. In a database system, an operational data store may store transactional datasets and an analytical data store may store analytics datasets generated based on the transactional datasets. For these analytics datasets to efficiently inherit the security configurations of the transactional datasets, security information may be embedded in datasets retrieved from the operational data store during a data acquisition procedure. This security information may be converted into an embedded multiple-value field for storage in the analytical data store. The analytical data store may receive a query for data in a dataset, and may determine security descriptors associated with the user sending the query. The analytical data store may then filter the data based on comparing these determined security descriptors with the security information in the multiple-value field, and may transmit a query response with the filtered data.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2021Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: Salesforce, Inc.Inventors: Donovan Schneider, Keith Kelly, Nicholas Albert Bugajski

Patent number: 10908970Abstract: A method for data processing is described. The method may include configuring a connection template that defines a data extraction flow for a first data source and transmitting from an analytics application server a controller application programming interface (API) call based on a query request for data stored at the first data source. The method may further include instantiating a connector microservice based on the controller API call and the connection template, where the connector microservice is configured with a first data connector with the analytics application server and a second data connector with the first data source that is specific to the first data source. The method may further include retrieving at the analytics application server the data from the first data source based on the connector microservice.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2020Date of Patent: February 2, 2021Assignee: salesforce.com, inc.Inventors: Ravishankar Arivazhagan, Nicholas Albert Bugajski, Jesus De Oliveira, Donovan A.

Patent number: 10761829Abstract: Methods are disclosed for dynamic node allocation for a server system that can automatically heal on failure—minimizing the need for static configuration—dynamically adjusting server resources to match load, and minimize end user wait times. The disclosed methods dynamically allocate nodes to increase capacity for a platform that accepts data queries. Additionally disclosed is a system for rolling version update deployment: workers maintain org lists of org-task-queues that they service; org-affinities between the workers and the org-task-queues require the workers to have access to local copies of immutable data sets to service org-tasks from the org-task-queues of the orgs that they service. A leader running on a worker implements a healing and balancing service that maintains worker redundancy, manages the workers' org-affinities to accumulate orgs on their respective org-lists. The leader implements messaging to the workers to update to a new software version and monitors completion of updates.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2018Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: salesforce.com, inc.Inventors: Saptarshi Roy, Daniel C.

Patent number: 10713376Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to assigning field level security to fields extracted from primary sources on a batch basis and compiled into analytical, read-only databases, for ultra-fast, ad-hoc data exploration and faceted navigation on integrated, heterogeneous data sets. The method includes assigning field level security to the extracted fields by combining user selectable inheritance of field level security from source fields that yield the extracted fields, with pinning of inheritance of field level security for the extracted fields to reference fields in the database sources wherein the reference fields are distinct from the extracted fields.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2016Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: salesforce.com, inc.Inventors: Jan Michael Timmerman, Donovan Schneider, Alex Gitelman

Patent number: 10671751Abstract: A predicate-based row level security system is used when workers build or split an analytical data store. According to one implementation, predicate-based means that security requirements of source transactional systems can be used as predicates to a rule base that generates one or more security tokens, which are associated with each row as attributes of a dimension. Similarly, when an analytic data store is to be split, build job, user and session attributes can be used to generate complementary security tokens that are compared to security tokens of selected rows. Efficient indexing of a security tokens dimension makes it efficient to qualify row retrieval based on security criteria.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2017Date of Patent: June 2, 2020Assignee: salesforce.com, inc.Inventors: Donovan A.
