| 20110276674 | RESOLVING INFORMATION IN A MULTITENANT DATABASE ENVIRONMENT - Disclosed herein are techniques for creating a representation of dependency relationships between computing resources within a computing environment. In some implementations, one or more sources for dependency analysis may be identified. Each source may be capable of being accessed to provide computing functionality via the computing environment. Each source may include one or more references to a respective one or more computing resources. Each computing resource may define a unit of the computing functionality available within the computing environment. A plurality of dependency relationships may be identified based on the one or more sources. A dependency relationship representation may be created based on the identified dependency relationships. | 11-10-2011 |
| 20110276693 | RESOLVING INFORMATION IN A MULTITENANT DATABASE ENVIRONMENT - Disclosed herein are techniques for provisioning computing services. In some implementations, a plurality of computing resources available within a computing environment are identified. The plurality of computing resources may be capable of being used to provide computing services via the computing environment. Each of the computing resources may comprise a respective unit of computing functionality available within the computing environment. A plurality of dependency relationships among the computing resources may be identified. Based on the identified dependency relationships, a first one or more of the computing resources may be selected for inclusion in a license definition. A license conforming to the license definition may provide an entity with access to the computing functionality associated with the first one or more computing resources. | 11-10-2011 |
| 20110276890 | RESOLVING INFORMATION IN A MULTITENANT DATABASE ENVIRONMENT - Disclosed herein are techniques for identifying computing resources specified by a representation of a computing service. In some implementations, a request to analyze a computing service provided via a computing environment may be received. The computing service may have an activated state in which the computing service is available for use and a deactivated state in which the computing service is not available for use. The computing environment may comprise a plurality of computing resources each defining a variable unit of computing functionality within the computing environment. Each computing resource may be associated with a respective parameter corresponding with a respective parameter value that specifies a level of the variable unit of computing functionality defined by the computing resource. The computing service may be represented by a metadata model comprising a plurality of nodes, at least some of which specify a respective one or more of the parameter values. | 11-10-2011 |
| 20110276892 | RESOLVING INFORMATION IN A MULTITENANT DATABASE ENVIRONMENT - Disclosed herein are techniques for providing a user interface component. In some implementations, a request for the user interface component may be received at a computing device. The user interface component may have a default visual presentation. A branding override may be selected from a plurality of available branding overrides. The branding override may define a modification to the default visual presentation of the user interface component. The branding override may be selected based on one or more contextual variables associated with the request for the user interface component. The user interface component may be modified in accordance with the selected branding override. The user interface component may be displayed on a display device. | 11-10-2011 |
| 20120066755 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANAGING AND MONITORING OF A MULTI-TENANT SYSTEM - Embodiments are described for providing access by application vendors to applications deployed in an enterprise network environment. A package access system defines a support user class in a user profile database for an application executed within organization resources maintained in a multi-tenant data store. The support user is granted read only privileges to metadata of the application. An organization administrator can grant the application vendor access to the application as a support user, allowing the vendor to view and analyze the metadata. The organization administrator can further grant access by a specific support representative to the application as a specific user within the organization user for a limited term. The support representative can then log into the organization and access and use the application in order to diagnose any post-installation usage problems with the application. | 03-15-2012 |
