| 20160092555 | DATA AGING IN HANA USING GRADING ATTRIBUTES - According to an embodiment of the present disclosures, systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable mediums having program instructions thereon, provide for process of segregating data from database tables into different layers depending on the frequency of access to the data—so that each layer of the data can be stored in an appropriate storage mechanism. For example, infrequently-accessed data can be stored in a hard disk drive (HDD) and frequently-accessed can be stored in random-access memory (RAM). Further, the data can also be stored in a sold-state drive (SSD) or other memory-storing devices. In an embodiment, grading attributes are used to layer the data and, accordingly, segregate the data into appropriate storage mechanisms. | 03-31-2016 |
| 20160117340 | INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD - An information processing method includes storing information identifying an external service and information of an acquisition method for acquiring folder information from the external service; receiving, from a device, a request to acquire the folder information from the external service; identifying the acquisition method for acquiring the folder information from the external service, based on the stored information; acquiring the folder information from the external service, based on the identified acquisition method; and sending the acquired folder information to the device. When the identified acquisition method is a first acquisition method, folder information of a hierarchy of a specified folder and in a predetermined number of lower hierarchies is acquired from the external service. When the identified acquisition method is a second acquisition method, folder information of a hierarchy of a specified folder and in all lower hierarchies is acquired from the external service. | 04-28-2016 |
