Archive-system-independent archive-type objects
SAP SE, Walldorf, Germany, has been assigned a patent (9,164,998) developed by Klevenz, Stephan, Heidelberg, Germany, Guendisch, Dieter, Karlsruhe, Germany, Weigel, Achim, Kaiserslautern, Germany, Fischer, Martin P., Heidelberg, Germany, Goetz, Paul, Wiesbaden, Germany, Hermes, Martin, Muehlhausen, Germany, Kiessling, Heiko, Eppelheim, Germany, Kreyscher, Martin, Heidelberg, Germany, Mitu, Corneliu D., Rauenberg, Germany, Rieder, Alexander, Herxheim, Germany, Weber, Johannes, Heidelberg, Germany, and Schneider, Juergen, Otterstadt, for a “archive-system-independent archive-type objects.”

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: ”This disclosure provides various embodiments for archiving a business object. At least one particular business object is identified for archiving. The particular business object has associated data including type data corresponding to a business object type of the at least one particular business object, structured business data, and unstructured attachment data. At least one archive-type object is created corresponding to the particular business object by enriching the unstructured attachment data with type-specific metadata including data identifying at least one attribute of the business object type. The archive-type object is archive-system-independent. The at least one archive-type object is exported to at least one archiving system for storage in at least one memory device of the archiving system.“

The patent application was filed on July 29, 2010 (12/845,905).

Logless atomic data movement
SAP SE, Walldorf, Germany, has been assigned a patent (9,165,010) developed by Faerber, Franz, Walldorf, Germany, Lee, Juchang, Seoul, Korea, and Schreter, Ivan, Malsch, Germany, for a “logless atomic data movement.”

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: ”A system and method of logless atomic data movement. An internal transaction is started within a multi-level storage architecture, the internal transaction to merge data from the first level storage structure to the second level storage structure. Committed data is read from a first level storage structure of the multi-level storage architecture as specified by the internal transaction. The committed data from the first level storage structure is inserted into a second level storage structure in a bulk insertion process, and the committed data is marked as being deleted from the first level storage. The internal transaction is then committed to the multi-level storage architecture when the committed data has been inserted into the second level storage structure.“

The patent application was filed on March 15, 2013 (13/843,986).

Predicting performance of consolidated virtualized computing environment
SAP SE, Walldorf, Germany, has been assigned a patent (9,164,785) developed by Kraft, Stephan, Belfast, Great Britain, Krishnamurthy, Diwakar, Calgary, CA, and Casale, Giuliano, Pavia, Italia, for a “predicting performance of a consolidated virtualized computing environment.”

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: ”Implementations of the present disclosure provide computer-implemented methods for predicting a performance of a consolidated virtualized computing environment. Methods include processing benchmark workloads using a plurality of virtual machines to generate a plurality of traces, each trace including data corresponding to requests issued by a respective virtual machine operating in an isolated environment, storing the plurality of traces in one or more trace repositories, each trace repository provided as a computer-readable storage medium, selecting a trace from the plurality of traces stored in the one or more trace repositories, parameterizing a queuing model based on the trace, the queuing model representing request queuing in the consolidated virtualized computing environment, and processing the queuing model using one or more processors to generate one or more response time estimates for the consolidated virtualized computing environment.“

The patent application was filed on March 13, 2012 (13/418,879).
