Version control and execution on a mobile device
Disclosed are some implementations of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for facilitating version control for a client device. A server system may select one of two or more versions of a procedure based, at least in part, on a user profile. The server system may generate a message including a procedure name of the procedure, a version identifier identifying the selected version of the procedure, a set of computer-readable instructions corresponding to the selected version of the procedure, and a client directive pertaining to storing the procedure in a database. The server system may transmit the message to a client device associated with the user.
1. A system comprising:
a database system implemented using a server system, the database system configurable to cause:
identifying, through a user profile of a user of the database system, a characteristic of the user;
identifying a characteristic of a client device of the user;
selecting one of two or more versions of a procedure based, at least in part, on the user characteristic and on the client device characteristic;
generating a message including:
a set of computer-readable instructions corresponding to the selected version of the procedure,
a procedure name of the procedure,
a version identifier identifying the selected version of the procedure, and
a client directive instructing the client device:
how to store the selected version of the procedure in a database,
how to use the selected version of the procedure, and
to delete a particular previous version of the procedure detected to have a bug; and
transmitting the message to the client device.
2. The system as recited in claim 1 , the client directive instructing the client device to store the computer-readable instructions in the database in association with the procedure name and version identifier.
3. The system as recited in claim 1 , the client directive indicating a particular version of the procedure to be used by the client device.
4. The system as recited in claim 1 , the database system configurable to cause:
transmitting a second client directive to the client device, the second client directive indicating a particular version of the procedure to be used by the client device.
5. The system as recited in claim 4 , the particular version being the selected version.
6. The system as recited in claim 4 , the particular version being different from the selected version.
7. The system as recited in claim 1 , the client directive indicating a maximum quantity of versions of the procedure to be stored in the database.
8. A computer program product comprising computer-readable program code capable of being executed by one or more processors when retrieved from a non-transitory computer-readable medium, the program code comprising computer-readable instructions configurable to cause:
identifying, through a user profile of a user of a database system, a characteristic of the user;
identifying a characteristic of a client device of the user;
selecting one of two or more versions of a procedure based, at least in part, on the user characteristic and on the client device characteristic;
generating a message including:
a set of computer-readable instructions corresponding to the selected version of the procedure,
a procedure name of the procedure,
a version identifier identifying the selected version of the procedure, and
a client directive instructing the client device:
how to store the selected version of the procedure in a database,
how to use the selected version of the procedure, and
to delete a particular previous version of the procedure detected to have a bug; and
transmitting the message to the client device.
9. The computer program product as recited in claim 8 , the client directive instructing the client device to store the computer-readable instructions in the database in association with the procedure name and version identifier.
10. The computer program product as recited in claim 8 , the client directive indicating a particular version of the procedure to be used by the client device.
11. The computer program product as recited in claim 8 , the computer-readable instructions further configurable to cause:
transmitting a second client directive to the client device, the second client directive indicating a particular version of the procedure to be used by the client device.
12. The computer program product as recited in claim 11 , the particular version being the selected version.
13. The computer program product as recited in claim 11 , the particular version being different from the selected version.
14. The computer program product as recited in claim 8 , the client directive indicating a maximum quantity of versions of the procedure to be stored in the database.
15. A method, comprising:
identifying, through a user profile of a user of a database system, a characteristic of the user;
identifying a characteristic of a client device of the user;
selecting one of two or more versions of a procedure based, at least in part, on the user characteristic and on the client device characteristic;
generating a message including:
a set of computer-readable instructions corresponding to the selected version of the procedure,
a procedure name of the procedure,
a version identifier identifying the selected version of the procedure, and
a client directive instructing the client device:
how to store the selected version of the procedure in a database,
how to use the selected version of the procedure, and
to delete a particular previous version of the procedure detected to have a bug; and
transmitting the message to the client device.
16. The method as recited in claim 15 , the client directive instructing the client device to store the computer-readable instructions in the database in association with the procedure name and version identifier.
17. The method as recited in claim 15 , the client directive indicating a particular version of the procedure to be used by the client device.
18. The method as recited in claim 15 , further comprising:
transmitting a second client directive to the client device, the second client directive indicating a particular version of the procedure to be used by the client device.
19. The method as recited in claim 18 , the particular version being the selected version.
20. The method as recited in claim 18 , the particular version being different from the selected version.
