Some embodiments provide a non-transitory machine-readable medium that stores a program. The program receives a request for questions associated with a location and a category. The program also identifies a matrix, a hierarchy of locations associated with the matrix, and a hierarchy of categories associated with the matrix. The program further determines an aggregate collection of questions from a plurality of sets of questions based on the matrix, the hierarchy of locations, and the hierarchy of categories. The program also generates the aggregate collection of questions.

Dynamic aggregation of queries

Some embodiments provide a program. The program receives a state change that occurred for an event created by an application. The event includes a creator of the event, a set of objects, and a set of sources. The program further identifies a schema definition in a plurality of schema definitions based on a type of the state change that occurred for the event. Each scheme definition in the plurality of schema definitions specifies a type of state change and a set of information associated with the event. The program also generates a message comprising the set of information associated with the event specified in the identified schema definition and a set of targets. The program further sends the message to a message management platform in order for the message management platform to send to an application for presentation to each target in the set of targets through a web portal provided by the application.

Processing state changes to applications

A program receives a state change that occurred for an event created by an application. The event includes a creator of the event, a set of objects, and a set of sources. The program further identifies a schema definition in a plurality of schema definitions based on a type of the state change that occurred for the event. Each scheme definition in the plurality of schema definitions specifies a type of state change and a set of information associated with the event. The program also generates a message that includes the set of information associated with the event specified in the identified schema definition and a set of targets. The program further sends the message to a message management platform in order for the message management platform to send to an application for presentation to each target in the set of targets through a web portal provided by the application.

Some embodiments provide a program that receives from a client device a request for data feed items relevant to a user, determines a set of categories associated with the user, and queries a database for a first set of data feed items specify the user as a recipient of the data feed item. The program retrieves a second set of data feed items from an external content provider. The program modifies relevance scores of the first set of data feed items and the second set of data feed items based on the set of categories associated with the user and a set of factors, generates a result set of data feed items comprising the first and second sets of data feed items ordered based on the modified relevancy scores from highest relevancy score to lowest relevancy score, and provides the result set of data feed items to the client device.

Managing data feeds from different applications for users

Some embodiments provide a non-transitory machine-readable medium that stores a program. The program receives a request for suppliers associated with a location and a category. The program also identifies a matrix, a hierarchy of locations associated with the matrix, and a hierarchy of categories associated with the matrix. The program further determines a set of suppliers by based on the location, the category, the matrix, the hierarchy of locations, and the hierarchy of categories.

Matrix traversal based on hierarchies

Some embodiments provide a program that receives, from a first system, a copy of master data. The program also receives a master data modification rule. The program further receives, from a second system, a first request to modify a value of a second field of data in the second system with a new value. In response to the first request, the program also identifies the master data modification rule. The program further performs a set of validation operations specified in the master data modification rule. Based on the performance of the set of validation operation, the program also modifies the first field in the copy of the master data with the new value based on the supplier identifier and sends a second request to the first system to modify the first field in the master data managed by the first system.

Master data management for a cloud computing system

In an example embodiment, primary data is received from a first tenant in a computer network, the primary data formatted based on a first version of a schema. Then a schema definition for the first version of the schema is obtained. The primary data is then parsed, the parsing including storing a schema version number for the first version of the schema. The primary data is indexed, by obtaining, using the schema version number for the first version of the schema, a schema definition for a most recent version of the schema; applying schema evolution to the primary data by applying one or more transforms to the primary data, the one or more transforms created using the schema definition for the first and most recent versions of the schema, causing the primary data to be converted to the most recent version of the schema; and indexing the converted primary data.

Schema evolution in multi-tenant environment

In an example embodiment, data to be indexed in a distributed file system is received via a near real time publish application program interface (API). A shard responsible for the data to be indexed is determined. Then a message is generated in a shard queue corresponding to the shard responsible for the data to be indexed, the message indicating that data needs to be urgently indexed, the detection of the message in the shard queue by a near real time manager corresponding to the shard responsible for the data to be indexed causing the near real time manager to cause the data to be indexed.
