  • Patent number: 10684997
    Abstract: Non-limiting examples of the present disclosure describe processing operations that achieve file consistency in the presence of a large-scale collaboration service. A mismatch may be determined between hash values associated with two or more versions of a file that is associated with a tenant of a productivity service. Version vector data for different versions of the file may be evaluated. Version vector data may comprise: a session value indicating a session of the productivity service and a version value that indicates a number of changes made by the tenant during the session. A synchronization determination is generated based on an evaluation of the version vector data for the different versions of the file.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9760453
    Abstract: Technologies are described herein for providing a two-tier failover service. A request to access content by an application associated with an application identifier may be identified. A first record corresponding to the application identifier may be retrieved from a database information table. The first record may include a reference identifier, a database name of a database, and a failover value. A second record corresponding to the reference identifier may be retrieved from a server information table. The second record may include an indication of a first server computer as a primary server computer and an indication of a second server computer as a secondary server computer. A connection specification to either the first server computer or the second server computer may be generated based on the first record and the second record.

  • Patent number: 8892601
    Abstract: Creating web application using cloud-based friction-free databases without web hosting knowledge. User credentials are received at a web application service for initiating a web application task via client software. The user credentials are analyzed to determine whether to grant the user permission to initiate the requested web application task. The web application task is initiated when the permission is granted. Data associated with the initiated web application task is received at the web application service for analysis of the data to host and render a web application based solely on received data provided without basis of web hosting knowledge.
