  • Publication number: 20260017645
    Abstract: Disclosed is an execution information sharing system that writes execution information to a provider target (and other targets) in a secure manner. Execution information generated by an application may be written to a consumer stage, wherein the application is shared by a provider account of a data exchange with a consumer account that executes the application. A consumer exchange service(ES) of the data exchange may send a request to a copy service of the data exchange to copy the execution information from the consumer stage to the provider stage, wherein the consumer ES is a part of the data exchange and is protected from actions of the consumer account. A copy operation may be executed to copy the execution information from the consumer stage to the provider stage using the copy service of the data exchange. The execution information is ingested from the provider stage to a provider table.

  • Patent number: 12314391
    Abstract: An anti-abuse system is provided for a data-platform. An anti-abuse scanner of the data-platform detects a creation of an application package by a provider of content to the data platform where the application package includes a set of files for deployment on the data platform. The anti-abuse scanner performs a review o the set of files to detect malicious content where the review is based on a set of analysis rules and generates a deployment decision for the application package based on a result of the review.

  • Patent number: 12250249
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a region-specific events account that is used as a central place to store the events shared by consumers of shared applications in that region. For each of a set of provider accounts in a first region, a global account object corresponding to the provider account is replicated to a second region to establish a replicated global account object in the second region. An account data persistence object (DPO) of a first provider account of the set of provider accounts is modified to designate the first provider account as an events account. The events account is a central location within the second region where execution information generated by execution of applications shared with consumer accounts in the second region is stored. The replicated global account object corresponding to the first provider account is updated to designate the first provider account as the events account.

  • Publication number: 20250045131
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method of using an event loader to share application information. The method includes generating a first log information object indicating a consumer target where execution information generated by an application shared with a consumer account of a data exchange is written. The method includes generating a first event unloader based on the first log information object. The first event unloader is linked to the application using a mapping. The method includes sending, by a processing device, the execution information generated by the application to the consumer target using the first event unloader.

  • Patent number: 12153971
    Abstract: Disclosed is an execution information sharing system that duplicates execution information to a provider target (and other targets) as it is being loaded to a consumer target. A first log information object and a second log information object are generated. The first and second log information objects comprise information indicating a consumer target and information indicating a provider target respectively where execution information generated by an application shared with a consumer account of a data exchange is written. A first event unloader and a second event unloader are generated based on the first and second log information objects respectively, wherein the first and second event unloaders are both linked to the application using a mapping. In response to receiving execution information from the application, the execution information is forwarded to the consumer target and the provider target using the first event unloader and the second event unloader respectively.

  • Publication number: 20240388584
    Abstract: An application package and application instance for a data platform. The application is created in a consumer account of a consumer using the application package. The consumer grants permissions for performing privileged actions in the consumer account to an application role of the application. The application creates objects in the application, creates objects outside of the application in the consumer account, and accesses external systems using permissions granted by the consumer.

  • Patent number: 11973763
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a region-specific events account that is used as a central place to store the events shared by consumers of shared applications in that region. Use of such an account helps reduce the operational burden of a provider of the applications as they do not need to determine which accounts have shared events for each different consumer. The provider only needs to login to the events account which is in the same region as the consumer and can query all shared events from different applications that are being used in that region. Also, since the provider can designate an events account in each region, the shared events could be directly ingested into the events account without traveling to a different region.

  • Patent number: 11809922
    Abstract: Disclosed is an execution information sharing system that duplicates execution information to a provider target (and other targets) as it is being loaded to a consumer target. A consumer account of a data sharing platform executes an application shared with it by a provider account of the platform. Consumer and provider configurations indicating consumer and provider targets respectively are generated. The consumer configuration and provider configurations are provided to an event context to generate a first and second event unloaders respectively, wherein the event context maintains a mapping linking both the first event unloader and the second event unloader to the application. In response to receiving execution information from the application, the first event unloader and the second event unloader are retrieved. The execution information is then written to the consumer target and the provider target using the first event unloader and the second event unloader respectively.

  • Publication number: 20160004250
    Abstract: The present invention is about a new satellite or unmanned aircraft guided by earth's magnetic fields, instead of gravitational fields, as in the case of traditional satellites. This type of magnetic satellites can fly many times faster than traditional satellites, and sustain a much heavier load if necessary. In order to navigate in earth's magnetic fields, the magnetic satellite needs to be heavily charged. The charges, interacting with the magnetic field, induce a magnetic force, which replaces the gravitational force as the centripetal force for circular motion.
