Systems and methods include reception of an indication of a first data object to transmit from a first database tenant to a second database tenant, the first data object comprising user configuration settings metadata of a database application and associated with a first data object type, determination of whether a dependent data object may be associated with a data object of the first data object type, determination, if it is determined that a dependent data object may be associated with a data object of the first data object type, of whether a dependent object is dependent on the first data object, and automatic determination, if it is determined that a dependent object is dependent on the first data object, to transmit the dependent object from the first database tenant to the second database tenant.

Dependency handling for configuration transport

Systems and methods to migrate unstructured objects such as, but not limited to, attachments and platform change documents from a database to a cloud-provided external object storage. The unstructured objects may be designated for migration based on their creation date and/or other characteristics. Migration of an object may include conversion of the object to a serialized file in an object notation format. The database may maintain a header of the migrated object indicating the location to which the object was migrated.

External storage of unstructured database objects

Methods and systems for managing marketing campaigns. A communication module is capable of executing a first step of a marketing campaign, and is capable of handling customer responses to the marketing campaign received through a variety of communication channels, regardless of which channel was used for contacting the customers. Customers may respond by email, telephone, fax, in person, through an internet site, by letter or by other modes of communication. An object generation module generates an object containing information from the response, uses the information to match the response with the marketing campaign, and links the object to the marketing campaign. A person may override the object generation module's matching by inputting the identity of another marketing campaign for matching. A campaign management module receives the object from the object generation module. A user may modify how the system matches responses with marketing campaigns.
