Systems and methods for dynamic filtering of content stream manifests are provided. Rules may be stored in memory of a proxy server regarding a plurality of different manifest inconsistencies. Each rule may associate a different manifest inconsistency with one or more indicators and a corresponding solution. One or more segments of a content stream may be provided between a content delivery network server and a client device. Such segments may be monitored by the proxy server, which may act as an intermediary between the content delivery network server and the client device. The proxy server may detect when a manifest of the monitored content stream exhibits one of the manifest inconsistencies based on the presence of the associated indicators. The solution corresponding to the exhibited manifest inconsistency may be identified based on the stored rule associated with the detected indicators. The retrieved solution may then be applied to the content stream, such that the exhibited manifest inconsistency is resolved before the monitored segments are delivered to the client device.

Dynamic filtering and amelioration of content stream manifests

Stored data are transported between different systems having different platforms by converting the format of the stored data into a common format either before or after transmitting the stored data from the source database system to the target database system. The common format may be a format that is universal in that the common format is not machine dependent. The stored data may be kept in the common format at the target database system and never converted to another format. Optionally, the stored data may be converted from the common format to a format associated with the target database system, thereby facilitating backward compatibility. A tool may be provided for performing the conversion.

Cross platform transportable tablespaces

A method and apparatus for creating a target database on a target platform based on a source database on a source platform is provided. A target database is created on the target platform based on data, metadata (for example, data in the system tablespace and control files), and external objects (for example, password files and externally stored tables) comprised within the source database. Data and metadata stored in tablespaces of the source database are converted to the format compatible with the target platform. The conversion of the data and metadata may be performed either at the source database or the target database. Redo information and undo information of the source database are not copied from the source database to the target database. Certain files, e.g., a password files, and links to externally stored object may be recreated on the target database.
