  • Patent number: 10289627
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for allowing administrators to manage runtime environments (RTEs). An RTE configuration component prompts for metadata characterizing a plurality of dynamically configurable runtime environments (RTE) for executing data queries. The RTE configuration component generates an RTE definition to associate with each of the plurality of RTEs. When a query is received for execution, the RTE configuration component dynamically configures the server computing system for query execution according to a selected one of the plurality of RTE definitions.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10169465
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for allowing users to access data libraries associated with multiple, isolated runtime environments (RTEs). A web query application receives a query and determines an RTE to execute the query against. The web query application determines whether a current RTE matches the determined RTE. If the web query application determines that the current RTE does not match the determined RTE, the web query application configures a server computing system to access the determined RTE and execute the query against data libraries associated with the determined RTE. If the web query application determines that the current RTE matches the determined RTE, the web query application executes the query against the data libraries associated with the current RTE.
