Tenant customization of master data in a multi-tenant computing system
A method can include initiating one or more transactions in response to a request associated with a first tenant in a multi-tenant computing system. The multi-tenant computing system can store a table of system master data. A determination can be made as to whether the first tenant has a table of customized master data that can include customized data values absent from the table of system master data. Based on the determination, one or more of the table of system master data and the table of customized master data can be used to respond to the request. A response to the request can be provided. Related systems and articles of manufacture, including computer program products, are also provided.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 8 , further comprising:
sending a notification to each of the one or more user nodes regarding the table of customized master data, the notification causing the one or more user nodes to update one or more caches to reflect the table of customized master data.
10. The computer-implemented method of claim 8 , wherein the one or more applications comprises an upstream application and a downstream application.
11. The computer-implemented method of claim 10 , further comprising:
sending a notification to the downstream application regarding the table of customized master data.
12. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
maintaining a record of one or more changes to the table of customized master data.
13. A system, comprising:
at least one data processor; and
at least one memory storing instructions which, when executed by the at least one data processor, result in operations comprising:
exporting a table of system master data to a first tenant included in a plurality of tenants in a multi-tenant computing system causing the first tenant to generate a table of customized master data from the table of system master data, the multi-tenant computing system comprising a first database having one or more partitions, each partition corresponding to one or more of the plurality of tenants, one of the partitions storing the table of system master data available for use by each of the plurality of tenants, the table of system master data comprising one or more attributes, each attribute having a corresponding set of one or more values;
initiating one or more transactions in response to a request associated with the first tenant;
determining whether the first tenant has the table of customized master data, the table of customized master data including one or more customized data values absent from the set of one or more values in the table of system master data, the table of customized master data accessible only for transactions associated with the first tenant;
determining whether the table of system master data is sufficient to generate a response to the request;
in response to determining whether the table of system master data is sufficient to generate the response and whether the first tenant has a table of customized master data, using one or more of the table of system master data and the table of customized master data to respond to the request; and
providing a response to the request.
14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the table of customized master data is stored at a first partition in the first database, the first partition associated with the first tenant.
15. The system of claim 13 , wherein the table of customized master data is stored at a second database maintained by the first tenant.
16. The system of claim 13 , wherein the multi-tenant computing system further comprises one or more applications,
wherein the first tenant is associated with one or more user nodes logged into the one or more applications, and
wherein the operations further comprise:
sending a notification to each of the one or more user nodes regarding the table of customized master data, the notification causing the one or more user nodes to update one or more caches to reflect the table of customized master data.
