Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for assigning exceptions in a multi-tenant system providing instances of a virtual application over a network to multiple tenants. One exemplary method of assigning an exception record corresponding to an anomalous condition identified by an instance of the virtual application involves obtaining context information associated with the anomalous condition from the instance of the virtual application and automatically assigning the exception record to a development entity based at least in part on the context information.

Abstract: A method for software performance analysis and debugging in a multi-tenant database network system is provided. In at least one embodiment, sampling is achieved using configuration files of each server cluster. Knowledge of the host names of each server in the cluster enables a profiler to target a single server for each sample, thereby facilitating a round-robin sample across a clustered server environment such that a CPU's load and processing cost associated to sampling is fairly and uniformly distributed across all servers in the cluster. As a result, in at least one embodiment of the analysis and debugging tool each sample is a complete stack trace dump of each thread running on the application server at that moment in time.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for managing exceptions in a multi-tenant system providing instances of a virtual application over a network to multiple tenants. One exemplary method involves obtaining, from an instance of the virtual application, context information associated with an anomalous condition identified by the virtual application and automatically creating an exception record maintaining an association between the anomalous condition and the context information.

Abstract: A method for software debugging in a multi-tenant database network system is provided. When an exception occurs the stack frames in temporary working memory are dumped into long term memory for later analysis. A stack trace is performed from which performance information may be derived, which may aid in discovering the cause of the exception.

Abstract: The subject invention pertains to a method and apparatus for etching copper (Cu). The subject invention can involve passing a halide gas over an area of Cu such that CuX, or CuX and CuX2, are formed, where X is the halide. Examples of halides which can be utilized with the subject matter include, but are not necessarily limited to, Cl, Br, F, and I. Once the CuX, or CuX and CuX2, are formed the subject invention can then involve passing a reducing gas over the area of Cu for a sufficient time to etch away at least a portion of the CuX, or CuX2, respectively. With respect to a specific embodiment in which CuX and CuX2 are produced when the halide gas is passed over the area of Cu, the reducing gas can be passed until essentially all of the CuX2 is etched and at least a portion of the CuX is etched. Examples of reducing gases which can be utilized with the subject invention include, but are not necessarily limited to, hydrogen gas and hydrogen gas plasma.
