A method and system for allowing an independent software vendor (ISV) access to proprietary software code for software of an organization has been developed. An ISV generates a login request that masquerades as a user of the software. A license management system that controls access to the software, is accessed and determines if two session IDs are present. The presence of two separate session IDs identifies the ISV and if detected, the ISV is allowed access to the proprietary software code. Finally, the organization is notified about the ISV's access to the proprietary software code.

Managing the display of hidden proprietary software code to authorized licensed users

Computing systems, database systems, and related methods are provided for providing visualizations of distributed package components. One exemplary method involves a server providing a graphical representation of a plurality of classes of a package, receiving a request to view a global class of the plurality of classes, obtaining previously compiled code associated with the global class of the from a database, filtering the code to include global source components of the global class while removing non-global source code components, and providing a graphical representation of the filtered code on the client device requesting presentation of the global class.

Systems and methods for package component visualizations

A platform is provided to allow the developer to log into a subscriber's computer system by using the credential of the developer or the subscriber to view and to debug at least a portion of executable code that is used by the subscriber. The executable code used by the subscriber may be part of managed package code, at least portions of which are customized for various subscribers. Cooperative debugging may be provided between developer and subscriber with lifting of code encapsulation for the developer in the subscriber implementation. The developer and the subscriber may be granted debugging licenses each authorizing a limited number of debugging sessions, and each debugging session run by the developer may be counted against the debugging license of either the developer or the subscriber. Debugging licenses may be transferred between the developer and the subscriber.

System and method to allow third-party developer to debug code in customer environment

Methods and systems are provided for debugging application code in an on-demand multi-tenant database system. One exemplary method involves an application server receiving a request associated with application code in a database from a client device via a network, verifying that debugging associated with the request does not violate a debugging utilization criterion, and after verifying that debugging associated with the request does not violate the debugging utilization criterion, accessing the application code in the database in conjunction with the request.
