Various examples are directed to systems and methods for providing software services to one or more consumer systems. A cloud service provider system accesses a software service build comprising a first feature and a first feature toggle for selectively enabling or disabling the first feature. The cloud service provider system configures the first feature toggle of the software service build to disable the first feature and deploys the software service build to a first environment accessible by a first consumer system. A toggle routine determines that a first toggle condition for the first feature has occurred and modifies the software service build deployed at the first environment to configure the first feature toggle to enable the first feature.

Cloud service delivery techniques and systems

A cloud service provider system may receive a commit instruction including a modified build of the software service. The cloud service provider system may use the modified build to perform at least one test of a first operations feature of the software service at an operations stage. Responsive to the at least one test, the cloud service provider system sets a feature toggle for the first operations feature to enable the change to the operations code of the software service. An applications test stage is executed to test the modified build using the first operations feature.

Various examples are directed to systems and methods for providing software services to one or more consumer systems. A cloud service provider system may receive a first outage message from a second cloud service provider system. The first outage message may describe a first outage of a first software service consumed by the first cloud service provider system and provided by the second cloud service provider system. The cloud service provider system may apply a set of outage inheritance rules to the first outage message and determine that the first outage is to be auto-reported. The cloud service provider system may render a revised first outage message and send the revised first outage message to a consumer system that receives a second software service provided by the cloud service provider system.

Cloud service outage reporting

Application services run on a computing platform and consume platform services. Performance measurement units are defined for the application services. A number of relationships for consumption of resources are defined between one or more of the application services and one or more of the platform service. Performance tests are executed on an application service while consuming different capacities provided by one or more instances of consumed platform services. Results measuring performance of the application service during test executions are collected. Based on the collected results, scaling formulas are determined for each of the consumed platform services by the application service. A scaling formula defines a correspondence between a capacity provided by a first consumed platform service and measured performance of the application service. Based on the scaling formulas, required capacities of the consumed platform services may be determined with respect to a predefined performance of the application service.

Determining required capacities for provisioning platform services

The subject matter disclosed herein provides methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for proposing training based on the prediction or measurement of different metrics associated with a transport request. In one aspect there is provided a method that may include preparing a transport request including one or more objects configured to provide an update of an application. The transport request may be associated with one or more metrics, each metric having a metric value. The method may also include determining whether the transport request includes at least one error by at least evaluating the metric value for each of the one or more metrics and comparing the metric value for each of the metrics with a threshold value; and proposing, based on the determining, at least one training course when the transport request includes the at least one error. Related systems, apparatus, methods, and/or articles are also described.

Automatic training proposal based on software update errors

A multi-tenant system can be switched to a downtime state to implement a transition from a current state to a target state of a core software platform. During a second phase of the transition an error associated with tenant-specific content of a first customer tenant of the plurality of customer tenants of the multi-tenant system can be identified. The second phase can be suspended for the first customer tenant while continuing the second phase for a remainder of the plurality of customer tenants for which an error has not been identified. After a scheduled duration of the downtime state, the multi-tenant system can be reactivated such that the multi-tenant system includes the remainder of the plurality of customer tenants with the transition implemented and the first customer tenant either with the transition implemented if the error has been corrected or without the transition implemented if the error has not been corrected.

Tenant rescue for software change processes in multi-tenant architectures

A system and method schedule manufacturing of a product by a requested availability date. Sources of supply are selected for a given material to be used for manufacturing the product. A check is then performed for each source of supply to ensure that a valid-to date of the source of supply is equal or later than a plan start date. Lead times for sources of supply are calculated having a valid-to date equal or later than a plan start date. A source of supply is selected as a function of a validity interval of the source and a validity date.

Lead time and validity based supply determination

A system receives output geographic information en masse from a server. The output geographic information corresponds to input geographic information provided to the server en masse. The system builds a database that indexes at least some of the output geographic information to at least some of the input geographic information, attempts to locate specific output geographic information in the database, and determines the specific output geographic information by calculation if the specific output geographic information cannot be located in the database.
