A method and/or system of managing metadata are disclosed that include connecting a source data storage system (DSS) that stores both data and metadata to a metadata management platform (MMP); scanning metadata records onto the MMP from the DSS; storing metadata attributes for at least one of the group consisting of directories and buckets on the DSS in a look-up table on the MMP; and adding updated metadata attributes to the look-up table on the MMP for each subsequent scan of the DSS.

The retrieval of files can be facilitated in real-time in the general context of backup and recovery. A processor can receive a request to retrieve a particular volume of data from an object storage database. A virtual volume can be presented to an emulator for creation of a virtual machine representing the particular volume of data. A request can be received to access a particular file from the particular volume of data at a specific point in time. In response to the request to access the file, the data stream can be paused, the particular file can be fetched, and the particular file can be transmitted to the emulator.

A computer-implemented method for propagating queries across a plurality of datasources that includes receiving user input via an administrative user interface. The input at least in part defines a plurality of asset paths within the datasources. A plurality of adapters corresponding to the datasources is automatically invoked and the input is automatically consolidated via the adapters for collective invocation in response to queries. A search query is received via an application user interface and the datasources are automatically queried at least in part by invoking the adapters and passing the input and the search query to the adapters. Responsive results for the search query from at least one of the datasources are automatically presented at an end user computing device.

A method for authenticating and updating an eUICC firmware version includes: receiving first information from a terminal device, where the first information includes a target identifier; searching a currently stored event record for a target event record, where a group event identifier in the target event record matches the target identifier in the first information; sending the target event record to the terminal device, where the target event record is used to enable the terminal device to download an eUICC firmware version update package; and updating a firmware version of an eUICC of the terminal device based on the eUICC firmware version update package.

A method and related hardware for improved search engine results delivered to multiple devices associated with a same user is provided. The multiple devices may each have a user profile associated therewith and the search results delivered may be based on the user profile.

A mass file retrieval method and apparatus based on an AI training platform, and a device. The method includes: an AI training platform acquiring a retrieval task issued by a user, the AI training platform generating a retrieval thread flow according to the retrieval task, and controlling a service logic of a retrieval process according to the retrieval thread flow; and the AI training platform, performing sequential encoding on files in a database in units of folders, generating ordered queue folders, extracting retrieval key words from the retrieval task, and performing keyword retrieval on each ordered queue folder by combining a binary search and depth-first traversal.

A system for intelligently processing queries for cloud-based network file stores includes a file store that stores groups of documents that are associated with files, a non-transitory storage medium that stores instructions, and a processor. The processor may execute the instructions to receive a ticket based on a communication associated with a query to the file store, pull data for the ticket, check a sender of the communication, identify a file using the data, and/or analyze the communication using an artificial intelligence engine to generate a recommendation. The processor may monitor changes to the recommendation made before being sent in order to update the artificial intelligence engine for the changes.

A system includes reception of a request to display a first dashboard, transmission of a request for a first dashboard data file associated with the first dashboard from a server system, reception of the first dashboard data file associated with the first dashboard from the server system, issuance a first plurality of queries of the first dashboard data file to the server system, reception of result sets in response to the first plurality of queries, building of results based on the result sets and the model data, rendering of one or more data visualizations based on the results, and presentation of the one or more data visualizations on the display.

A system and a method of obtaining a location of a document on a computer network based on a document property. The method may include: receiving at least one basic marker and an encoding function associated with the document property; generating a search term according to the encoding function, based on the at least one basic marker; providing the search term to at least one search engine and obtaining therefrom one or more search results corresponding, where each search result may include one or more references to locations of documents on the computer network; discovering at least one document having the document property from the one or more search results and obtaining a discovered location of the document on the computer network; and performing at least one rule-based action, according to at least one document property of the discovered document.

An example method of upgrading a distributed storage object from a first version to a second version includes: querying metadata of a first component configured according to the first version of the distributed storage object, the metadata defining extents of data on a disk group of the first component; populating, for a second component configured according to the second version of the distributed storage object, logical and middle maps based on the metadata such that initial entries in the logical map point to initial entries in the middle map, and the initial entries in the middle map point to physical addresses of the disk group of the first component; and reading the data from the disk group of the first component and writing the data to a disk group of the second component while updating the initial entries in the middle map.
