Orchestration of infrastructure service blocks (ISBs) within a hosted service may be automated. A datacenter deploying the hosted service may include one or more zones, each zone including at least a network and a server farm comprising one or more servers performing various roles within an infrastructure of the hosted service. A first orchestrator may receive a network and server manifest from the datacenter to be configured within an automation framework of the first orchestrator to create an ISB and/or update another ISB for each zone of the datacenter. The created ISB and/or updated other ISB may be deployed to a second orchestrator that may image the servers within each zone of the datacenter with the created ISB and/or updated other ISB. The hosted service may then be deployed at the datacenter such that the servers within each zone of the datacenter include the created ISB and/or updated other ISB.

In one embodiment, a network system may be upgraded without losing access to write privileges to a network fileduring the system upgrade. A network file management systemmay execute a system upgrade. A network file management systemmay provide direct write access for a data fileto a user throughout the system upgrade.

Seamless upgrade for network system

Architecture for uninterrupted access to business data by enabling work on rich client machines to be stored in a local business data cache that is always available. A dispatching mechanism executes read/write requests against the local cache transparently to a client application, an automatic synchronization mechanism propagates changes bi-directionally when the client goes online and a live connection with the corresponding backend data source is available. A declarative data access model is employed based on operation stereotyping and grouping that enables client applications to transparently execute create, read, update, delete, query (CRUDQ) and association operations against the local cache as if executed against the actual business data source. The architecture supports the offline creation of entities and sets of related entities when the entity identifiers are generated by the business data source and offline navigation of entity associations when foreign keys are not present in the related entities.
