  • Patent number: 12346312
    Abstract: A method includes accessing a schema that specifies relationships among datasets, computations on the datasets, or transformations of the datasets, selecting a dataset from among the datasets, and identifying, from the schema, other datasets that are related to the selected dataset. Attributes of the datasets are identified, and logical data representing the identified attributes and relationships among the attributes is generated. The logical data is provided to a development environment, which provides access to portions of the logical data representing the identified attributes. A specification that specifies at least one of the identified attributes in performing an operation is received from the development environment.

  • Publication number: 20250181486
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for defining a test for a computer program includes receiving operational data generated during execution of a computer program in a first computing environment, the operational data indicative of (i) a data source accessed by the computer program during execution of the computer program and (ii) a destination to where baseline data records are output by the computer program during execution of the computer program. Based on the received operational data, a data storage object is generated that includes (i) input data records from the data source and the baseline data records from the destination, and (ii) test definition data for the first computing environment. Responsive to migration of the computer program to a second computing environment, the input and baseline data records from the data storage object are stored in the second computing environment.

  • Patent number: 12277135
    Abstract: A method for generating an executable application to transform and load data into a structured dataset includes receiving a metadata file that specifies values for parameters for structuring data feeds, received from a networked data source, into a structured database. The metadata file specifies logical rules for transforming the data feeds. The values of the parameters and the logical rules for transforming the plurality of the data feeds are validated to ensure logical consistency for each data feed. Data rules are generated that specify standards for transforming each data feed in accordance with the validated values of the parameters and logical rules. The executable application is generated that is configured to receive source data comprising a data feed from one or more data sources and transform the source data into structured data that satisfies the one or more standards for the structured data record in compliance with the data rules.

  • Patent number: 12242443
    Abstract: Methods and systems are configured to determine a semantic meaning for data and generate data processing rules based on the semantic meaning of the data. The semantic meaning includes syntactical or contextual meaning for the data that is determined, for example, by profiling, by the data processing system, values stored in a field included in data records of one or more datasets; applying, by the data processing system, one or more classifiers to the profiled values; identifying, based on applying the one or more classifiers, one or more attributes indicative of a logical or syntactical characteristic for the values of the field, with each of the one or more attributes having a respective confidence level that is based on an output of each of the one or more classifiers. The attributes are associated with the fields and are used for generating data processing rules and processing the data.

  • Publication number: 20240311381
    Abstract: Described are techniques for causing a data processing system to perform real-time decisioning by generating a record (e.g., dynamic record) based on a request for the real-time decisioning, wherein the record (e.g., dynamic record) includes batch data and real-time data retrieved from one or more operational systems responsive to receipt of the request, with real-time being with regard to when the request is received by the data processing system.

  • Patent number: 12045286
    Abstract: A method performed by a computer system including: accessing a specification that specifies a plurality of modules to be implemented by the computer program for processing the one or more values of the one or more fields in the structured data item; transforming the specification into the computer program that implements the plurality of modules, wherein the transforming includes: for each of one or more first modules of the plurality of modules: identifying one or more second modules of the plurality of modules that each receive input that is at least partly based on an output of the first module; and formatting an output data format of the first module such that the first module outputs only one or more values of one or more fields of the structured data item.
