Mechanism for facilitating customized data overriding for software programs in an on-demand services environment
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- duplicating a first portion of a first data set relating to a software application at a computing device into a second portion that is placed within a second data set;
amending a second portion to represent a modification to be made to the software application without having to modify the first data set;
facilitating running of the software application based on the first data set until the first portion is reached; and
performing customized overriding of the first portion by the amended second portion, wherein customized overriding includesignoring the first portion of the first data set upon detecting the first portion,referring, in run-time, the amended second portion of the second data set upon reaching the first portion during the running of the software application, wherein referring is performed to implement, in run-time, the modification to the software application, andreverting back to the first data set after the amended second portion has been referenced and the modification has been implemented.

Abstract
In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for facilitating customized overriding of data for maintenance of software applications in an on-demand services environment. In one embodiment and by way of example, a method includes duplicating first data of a first data set into a second data that is placed in a second data set. The first data relates to a software application at a computing device. The method may further include amending a portion of the second data at the second data set. The amended portion of the second data corresponds to an unchanged portion of the first data. The method may further include facilitating running of the software application based on the first data while referring to the amended portion of the second data and ignoring the corresponding unchanged portion of the first data.

6. A system comprising:
-
a computing device having a memory to store instructions, and a processing device to execute the instructions to facilitate a mechanism to perform one or more operations comprising; duplicating a first portion of a first data set relating to a software application at a computing device into a second portion that is placed within a second data set; amending a second portion to represent a modification to be made to the software application without having to modify the first data set; facilitating running of the software application based on the first data set until the first portion is reached; and performing customized overriding of the first portion by the amended second portion, wherein customized overriding includes ignoring the first portion of the first data set upon detecting the first portion, referring, in run-time, the amended second portion of the second data set upon reaching the first portion during the running of the software application, wherein referring is performed to implement, in run-time, the modification to the software application, and reverting back to the first data set after the amended second portion has been referenced and the modification has been implemented. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A non-transitory machine-readable medium having stored thereon instructions which, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform one or more operations comprising:
-
duplicating a first portion of a first data set relating to a software application at a computing device into a second portion that is placed within a second data set; amending a second portion to represent a modification to be made to the software application without having to modify the first data set; facilitating running of the software application based on the first data set until the first portion is reached; and performing customized overriding of the first portion by the amended second portion, wherein customized overriding includes ignoring the first portion of the first data set upon detecting the first portion, referring, in run-time, the amended second portion of the second data set upon reaching the first portion during the running of the software application, wherein referring is performed to implement, in run-time, the modification to the software application, and reverting back to the first data set after the amended second portion has been referenced and the modification has been implemented. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)
