Private appexchange

A computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to providing private AppExchanges within an on-demand services environment in which multiple tenants have corresponding tenant identifiers (IDs) having one of one or more users associated with the respective tenant IDs, wherein users of each of multiple client entities can only access data identified by a tenant ID associated with the respective client entity, and wherein the on-demand services environment is provided by an entity separate from the client entities, the instructions, when executed, cause the one or more processors to:

• provide access to a listing of apps to a remote device based on a tenant ID associated with the user, wherein the listing of apps for each tenant ID is controlled by an administrative entity associated with each respective tenant ID and the listing of apps is stored in a database within the on-demand services environment;
• receive download request from the remote device for a selected app from the listing, wherein the remote device is allowed access only to the listing of apps having a tenant ID corresponding to the tenant ID for the remote device;
• grant download access to the remote device for a selected app in response to the download request, wherein the download access is administrative entity associated with the tenant ID for the remote device;
• and
• cause transmission of code for the selected app from a storage device storing the code to the remote device.

An apparatus to provide private AppExchanges within an on-demand services environment in which multiple tenants have corresponding tenant identifiers (IDs) having one of one or more users associated with the respective tenant IDs, wherein users of each of multiple client entities can only access data identified by a tenant ID associated with the respective client entity, and wherein the on-demand services environment is provided by an entity separate from the client entities, the apparatus comprising:

• means for providing access to a listing of apps to a remote device based on a tenant ID associated with the user, wherein the listing of apps for each tenant ID is controlled by an administrative entity associated with each respective tenant ID and the listing of apps is stored in a database within the on-demand services environment;
• means for receiving download request from the remote device for a selected app from the listing, wherein the remote device is allowed access only to the listing of apps having a tenant ID corresponding to the tenant ID for the remote device;
• means for granting download access to the remote device for a selected app in response to the download request, wherein the download access is administrative entity associated with the tenant ID for the remote device;
• and
• means for causing transmission of code for the selected app from a storage device storing the code to the remote device.

A system having one or more processors to provide private AppExchanges within an on-demand services environment in which multiple tenants have corresponding tenant identifiers (IDs) having one of one or more users associated with the respective tenant IDs, wherein users of each of multiple client entities can only access data identified by a tenant ID associated with the respective client entity, and wherein the on-demand services environment is provided by an entity separate from the client entities, the one or more processors to:

• provide access to a listing of apps to a remote device based on a tenant ID associated with the user, wherein the listing of apps for each tenant ID is controlled by an administrative entity associated with each respective tenant ID and the listing of apps is stored in a database within the on-demand services environment;
• receive download request from the remote device for a selected app from the listing, wherein the remote device is allowed access only to the listing of apps having a tenant ID corresponding to the tenant ID for the remote device;
• grant download access to the remote device for a selected app in response to the download request, wherein the download access is administrative entity associated with the tenant ID for the remote device;
• and
• cause transmission of code for the selected app from a storage device storing the code to the remote device.
