Disclosed are some implementations of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for facilitating the authentication of computing system requests across tenants of at least one multi-tenant database system. Authentication is facilitated using a central registry that is accessible by and independent from the tenants of the multi-tenant database system.

Authenticating computing system requests across tenants of a multi-tenant database system

In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for facilitating criteria-based cost-efficient routing and deployment of metadata packages in an on-demand services environment according to one embodiment. In one embodiment and by way of example, a method comprises analyzing, by a metadata costing server computing device, characteristics of a metadata package awaiting deployment, where analyzing includes matching the characteristics with predefined criteria associated with deployment of metadata packages. The method may further include routing, by the metadata server, the metadata package for real-time deployment if the characteristics satisfy the criteria, where the real-time deployment allows for bypassing of message queues associated with standard deployment.

Criteria-based cost-efficient routing and deployment of metadata packages in an on-demand environment

Techniques are disclosed relating to database techniques for storing metadata for web applications. In some embodiments, manageable state information indicates whether certain entities (e.g., developers or subscribers) are allowed to edit particular fields (e.g., upon installing a version of an application package or when updating a package to a new version). In some embodiments, the manageable state information is stored separately from the corresponding metadata, which may avoid a need to query the metadata to determine manageable state and may allow validation of manageable state rules upon insertion of metadata into a new organization. In some embodiments, a short-lived build organization may facilitate validation of updates to web application packages.

Maintaining manageability state information distinct from managed metadata

Distributed version control systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described. A computer system may implement a version control blockchain system by obtaining source code and/or an artifact associated with source code. The computer system may serialize the source code and/or the artifact to obtain serialized data, and may encipher the serialized data to obtain a current block identifier (cb_id). The computer system may generate a block to include the cb_id, and may add the generated block to the version control blockchain upon validation of the block. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Blockchain version control systems

A method for data partitioning method includes defining a set of category levels associated with a plurality of entities stored within a first database, wherein the set of category levels is hierarchical (e.g., proceeding from higher to lower levels). Each of the plurality of entities is assigned to a category level within the set of category levels. One or more partition keys are defined for at least one of the category levels. The plurality of entities are then copied to a second database based on the set of category levels and the one or more partition keys.

Methods and apparatus for partitioning data

Described herein are means for debugging byte code in an on-demand service environment system including a system for simulating execution debug in a multi-tenant database environment. Such means may include: receiving a request at a web-server of the system, determining one or more trace preferences are active for the request, sending the request to a logging framework communicatively interfaced to the multi-tenant database implementation, processing the request via the logging framework, and capturing at least a portion of the execution data emitted responsive to execution of the plurality of events for use in simulating execution debug of the events. Other related embodiments are additionally described.

Methods and systems for debugging bytecode in an on-demand service environment

Methods and systems are provided for debugging application code in an on demand environment. The method includes executing the code on a server in the on demand environment; identifying a first location within the code having a suspected error; defining a first check point within the code corresponding to the first location; subsequently re-executing the code, including the first check point, on the server; creating a memory dump corresponding the first check point during re-execution of the code; and debugging the code based on the heap dump without suspending subsequent re-execution of the code.

System and method for dynamically debugging data in a multi-tenant database environment

In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for simulating and analyzing code execution in a multi-tenant environment. These mechanisms and methods for simulating and analyzing code execution in a multi-tenant environment can enable embodiments to provide an improved interface for analyzing the performance of application on the multi-tenant database. The ability of embodiments to provide better analysis of simulated execution can enable higher quality application developed in less time.

Method and system for simulating and analyzing code execution in an on-demand service environment

In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for storing reports for use by tenants of a multi-tenant on-demand database service. These mechanisms and methods for storing reports for use by tenants of a multi-tenant on-demand database service may allow tenants of the multi-tenant on-demand database service to create, modify, etc. reports programmatically, as desired, and may allow the multi-tenant on-demand database service to make the reports accessible to other tenants of the multi-tenant on-demand database service.
