  • Publication number: 20190129988
    Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for key pattern management. One example method includes receiving a query for a logical database table from an application. A determination is made as to whether the query is a write query. In response to determining that the query is a write query, a determination is made as to whether the query complies with a key pattern configuration that describes keys of records included in a physical database table that is part of a logical table implementation. The physical table includes records of the logical database table that are allowed to be written by the application. The write query is redirected to the physical database table in response to determining that the query complies with the key pattern definition. The query is rejected in response to determining that the query does not comply with the key pattern configuration.

  • Publication number: 20160242615
    Abstract: An adapter for attaching a cleaning head to a mop handle of a mop. The adapter is substantially channel-shaped and includes two side webs and one connecting web interconnecting the side webs. The adapter is formed so as to be open towards the cleaning head to be received. The connecting web has an inner side which faces the cleaning head to be received and forms a stop face for the cleaning head. Each of the side webs comprises at least one latching projection formed so as to be resiliently flexible transversely to a longitudinal direction of the adapter. The latching projections are movable towards and away from each other in the manner of a clamp and are configured to be releasably snapped behind latching lugs on the cleaning head in a non-destructive manner.

  • Publication number: 20160242616
    Abstract: A cleaning head for a mop comprising a clamping strip and a cleaning body. The cleaning body fits in the clamping strip. The clamping strip is channel shaped and open towards the cleaning body and having two side walls and one connecting element connecting the side walls to each other. The connecting element has an inner side which faces the cleaning body and an outer side which faces away from the cleaning body. The clamping strip has a connecting region to connect the clamping strip to a mop adapter which accommodates the cleaning head. The connecting region has a stop which acts in an axial direction of a handle of the mop and is configured to be placed on a counter stop on the adapter. The stop is disposed in an imaginary plane extending parallel to the connecting strip. An attachment mechanism is in the imaginary plane.

  • Patent number: 8683433
    Abstract: An adaptive automatic change management for computer system landscapes is described herein. A predefined set of attributes are extracted or obtained for a computer system artifact, together with a number of values assigned to the set of attributes. A unique identification section is created and distributed among the computer systems in the landscape based on the set of attributes and the assigned values, where the unique identification section encompass computer system artifacts of a same kind. A modification of an artifact of the same kind is tracked at a computer system. The tracked modification is automatically applied in the computer system to one or more incoming computer system artifacts of the same kind.

  • Patent number: 8566814
    Abstract: Described are methods and systems related to transporting one or more object packets present in a nested hierarchy of one or more system landscapes. The object packets available for transporting from source systems to target systems present in the nested hierarchy of the system landscapes is identified. A transport request is generate for a collection of object packets of each source system in the nested hierarchy of the system landscapes. The transport requests are aggregated to render a nested transport collection. The nested transport collection is transported within the nested hierarchy of the system landscapes. The nested transport collection is deployed to assign the transport requests present in the nested transport collection to the target systems present in the nested hierarchy of the system landscapes.
