Abstract: Distributed tracing is applied during an upgrade from a first management appliance to a second management appliance. The distributed tracing method includes generating a parent span that encapsulates states of the overall workflow, including a span context that contains a trace identifier and a span identifier, and generating a plurality of child spans. Each child span encapsulates states that represent a piece of the workflow and contains a reference to the parent span context. The states of the child spans include an error tag that indicates whether the piece of the workflow associated with the child span executed with an error. Because child spans may be generated for a piece of the workflow that is executed by a service running in the first or second management appliance, the span context for the parent span is persisted by the first management appliance and replicated for use by the second management appliance.

Abstract: In one approach, an import mechanism allows new hardware intrinsics to be utilized by writing or updating a library of source code, rather than specifically modifying the virtual machine for each new intrinsic. Thus, once the architecture is in place to allow the import mechanism to function, the virtual machine itself (e.g. the code which implements the virtual machine) no longer needs to be modified in order to allow new intrinsics to be utilized by end user programmers. Since source code is typically more convenient to write than the language used to implement the virtual machine and the risk of miscoding the virtual machine is minimized when introducing new intrinsics, the import mechanism described herein increases the efficiency at which new hardware intrinsics can be introduced.

Abstract: In one approach, a native call is performed using an adapter generator to produce an adapter for converting memory structures between a first memory representation adhering to a first application binary interface (ABI) and a second memory representation adhering to a second memory representation adhering to a second ABI. In some cases, the adapter produced by the adapter generator is stored in an adapter cache and indexed by the shape of the call for later reuse should the same native call be made again in the future. The adapter produced by the adapter generator uses a set of intermediate instructions which can be either compiled by a Just-in-Time (JIT) compiler or interpreted by an interpreter to produce executable instructions for converting between the first ABI and the second ABI.

Abstract: A moderation framework monitors content posted in a database network and uses a declarative configuration scheme that defines moderation rules without having to write new software. A user interface operated by the moderation platform allows selection of different user criteria and different content criteria for triggering the moderation rules. The user interface also provides selectable actions for the moderation rules to apply when the content matches the selected user and content criteria. The user interface also allows selection of different entities for associating with different moderation rules, such as accounts, cases, opportunities, Chatter® feed posts, or custom objects defined by customers.

Abstract: A system and method for processing a 3-dimensional landmark providing a 3-dimensional representation of a 3-dimensional real world object located at a predefined geographic location is provided. The method includes the steps of providing a data set containing the 3-dimensional landmark, determining a largest continuous horizontal surface of the 3-dimensional landmark, and storing the determined largest horizontal surface as road traffic area of a road network used by a user when moving on the object.

Abstract: A navigation system has a database which stores index data for, respectively, a tile of a tiling. The index data includes, for each one of plural cells of a grid which is superimposed on the tile, respectively an identifier for each triangular face of a triangulated irregular network which at least partially overlaps with the respective cell. The plural cells of the grid are defined so as to cover the respective tile. A processing device of the navigation system is configured to use the index data to determine a triangular face on which a map feature having given lateral coordinates is located, in order to determine a height coordinate of the map feature.
