ABSTRACT:
Exemplary methods and systems may clone a tenant database and send updates to the clone. By doing so, methods and systems may determine a difference between the clone and the tenant, making it possible to test upgrades for a tenant based on the difference. With this capability, a provider-tenant system may upgrade tenant business applications and customize tenant databases.
