  • Patent number: 10459905
    Abstract: Systems are provided for configuring applications in a distributed environment to enable more granular customization of application behavior. A centralized hierarchical configuration data store may be used to store configurations corresponding to a multi-level hierarchical model. The distributed environment may include a plurality of applications hosted by a plurality of application servers, where the application servers and/or applications are associated with an environment, an instance, and a category. The plurality of applications may load and apply configurations via a configuration control engine from the centralized hierarchical configuration data store based on the environment, instance, and category associated with the applications.

  • Publication number: 20170199903
    Abstract: Some aspects disclosed herein are directed to, for example, a system and method of backing out data. The method may comprise determining one or more unique identifiers for data to be loaded from a source system to one or more databases. The method may comprise loading the data from the source system to the one or more databases, and the data may be loaded with the one or more unique identifiers. A computing device may determine that a subset of the data loaded to the one or more databases comprises invalid data. In response to determining that the subset of the data loaded to the one or more databases comprises invalid data, the computing device may determine one or more unique identifiers for the invalid data. The invalid data may be removed, from the one or more databases, based on the one or more unique identifiers for the invalid data.

  • Publication number: 20170147661
    Abstract: A source data file can be loaded into a database by extracting data from the source data file at a computing device, validating the data from the source data file at the computing device, transforming the data from the source data file at the computing device, requesting the data to be transferred to a first database at a first message processor module, delivering the data to the first database, and responding that the data has been transferred to the first database at the first message processor module to acknowledge receipt of the data in the database at the computing device. The data may be delivered to one or more databases using, for example, a plurality of distributed data facility (DDF) threads.
