  • Publication number: 20240330298
    Abstract: Described herein are techniques for deploying a plurality of data processing pipelines to execute contact grouping queries to upload contact data into contact records of contact group tables in a cloud-based, virtual data warehouse. Each contact grouping query is assigned to a data pipeline of a plurality of data pipelines based on characteristics of the contact grouping query and the count of contact records associated with the entity on whose behalf the contact records are being maintained. Additionally, the execution runtime is obtained for each contact grouping query so that an average execution runtime for the contact grouping query can be cached. An expected execution runtime of all contact grouping queries allocated to a specific data pipeline can then be calculated and used in determining whether additional data pipelines may be necessary to meet a service level objective that indicates a time interval during which a contact grouping query is to be executed.

  • Patent number: 7415525
    Abstract: A Short Range Connectivity Server (SRCS) is provided to manage transport connections. The SRCS is a standalone server that runs multiple service controllers using OBEX over Bluetooth and USB. The SRCS manages all transports enabling a transport plug in strategy to be adopted. This architecture provides a generic management mechanism to create and manage the transport layer connections. Modular design components enable Bluetooth and USB application development to be undertaken without requiring knowledge of the details of the individual transport protocols. This results in a completely transparent mechanism for application development regardless of transport. The SRCS is in charge of the higher layer services controllers. Additionally, a Service Controller framework is provided for Object Exchange Protocol (OBEX) related services.
