  • Patent number: 10708270
    Abstract: A request is received for execution of a cloud service for a user of a customer of a cloud-computing platform, the request including a user identifier of the user but not a password for the user. The customer is determined from the user identifier included in the request for execution of the cloud service. A cloud connector endpoint for the customer is determined, where the cloud connector endpoint identifies a secure cloud connector tunnel for communication with a user mapper installed in a customer landscape of the customer. An authorization and authentication request is sent to the user mapper using the secure cloud connector tunnel, where the user mapper is configured to authenticate the user within the customer landscape and determine whether the user is authorized to use the requested cloud service. An authorization and authentication response is received from the user mapper that indicates whether the user is an authenticated user who is authorized to use the cloud service.

  • Publication number: 20180137520
    Abstract: A data connection is configured to each of a plurality of data platforms. Each data platform provides situational analysis data. The plurality of data platforms includes one or more external, publicly-available data platforms and one or more internal, private data platforms. A condition and associated criteria are defined for detecting a situation based on data received from two or more of the plurality of data platforms. One or more actions corresponding to the condition are defined. The actions are to be performed when the condition is satisfied. Data associated with the plurality of data platforms is received using the configured data connections. A determination is made that the condition has been satisfied based on a determined match between the received data and the associated criteria. The defined one or more actions corresponding to the condition are performed.

  • Patent number: 9740522
    Abstract: This disclosure provides various embodiments of software, systems, and techniques for controlled interruption of batch job processing. In one instance, a tangible computer readable medium stores instructions for managing batch jobs, where the instructions are operable when executed by a processor to identify an interruption event associated with a batch job queue. The instructions trigger an interruption of an executing batch job within the job queue such that the executed portion of the job is marked by a restart point embedded within the executable code. The instructions then restart the interrupted batch job at the restart point.
