Abstract: Data cache systems are provided that can be implemented on a backend server side, are session independent, support caching of large amounts of data while passing only the required amount of requested data through a network, and support pagination of data in an efficient manner. A backend data cache system may include a special database schema for caching data in a database server, a middleware program for providing application program interfaces to application programs making cache requests, and a cache maintenance program for maintaining cached data sets stored within the database server. Each cache request can be stored as a type of temporary table that is assigned a unique identifier, which can be used during different sessions and/or by different application programs to access cached data sets.

Abstract: An exemplary system includes a plurality of heterogeneous data subsystems maintaining local data and a coordinator subsystem configured to maintain global data mapped from the local data, the global data including a plurality of global data relationship views. One of the heterogeneous data subsystems is configured to initiate a data conversion of at least one local data record included in the local data from an origin data schema to a target data schema and to provide at least one data update message representative of the data conversion to the coordinator subsystem. The coordinator subsystem is configured to receive the data update message and asynchronously propagate the data conversion through to at least a subset of the global relationship views in the global data.

Abstract: An exemplary system includes a plurality of heterogeneous data subsystems maintaining local data and a coordinator subsystem configured to maintain global data mapped from the local data. The coordinator subsystem includes a global data life cycle model defining at least one life cycle for the global data. The coordinator subsystem is configured to use the global data life cycle model to coordinate a data update between the global data and the local data. In certain implementations, the coordinator subsystem and the heterogeneous data subsystems are configured to communicate using at least one data update message representative of the data update, the data update message being defined in accordance with the global data life cycle model. In certain implementations, the data update message includes a life cycle status identifier associated with the data update.

Abstract: An application portal selectively provides a user selective access to data. A data access layer is included in the portal and includes a map associating the user with a permission and further associating a combination of the user and the permission with a data entity, whereby it may be determined whether the user is permitted to access data identified with the data entity. A data stage included in the portal selectively undergoes a synchronization with a remote data store, the synchronization providing data access information that is used to update the map.
