Method and system for re-deploying metadata and associated data from a source organization to a destination organization

A computing system, comprising:

• a first organization of a first tenant of a multi-tenant database system;
• a user system configured to select metadata that is to be retrieved from the first organization;
• a second organization of a second tenant of the multi-tenant database system that is different than the first organization;
• and
• a platform for re-deploying selected metadata and data associated with that metadata from the first organization to the second organization, the platform comprising:
• secure file storage;
• a secured database;
• a metadata engine that executes at one or more hardware-based processors and being configured to:
• automatically create, in response to inputs received from the user system that indicate selected metadata that is to be retrieved from the first organization, a manifest file comprising the selected metadata that is to be retrieved from the first organization;
• store the manifest file at the secure file storage where it is securely stored for re-deployment to the second organization;
• and re-deploy the manifest file to the second organization that is different than the first organization;
• and
• a data engine that executes at one or more other hardware-based processors and being configured to:
• automatically retrieve data that is associated with the selected metadata from the first organization;
• store the data at the secured database;
• and re-deploy the data associated with the selected metadata to the second organization that is different than the first organization, and
• when the manifest file has been re-deployed, wherein the data engine is further configured to automatically reconstruct relationships amongst the data that has been successfully migrated to the second organization and a new identifier that is associated with the data at the second organization.

A computing system comprising one or more hardware-based processors and a memory, wherein the memory comprises computer-executable instructions that are capable of execution by the one or more hardware-based processors, and that when executed by the one or more hardware-based processors, cause the computing system to:

• automatically create, via a metadata engine that executes at one or more hardware-based processors in response to a selection of metadata that is to be retrieved from a first organization of a first tenant of a multi-tenant database system, a manifest file that comprises selected metadata that is to be retrieved from the first organization;
• store the manifest file at a secure file storage where it is securely stored for re-deployment;
• automatically determine data from the first organization based on objects specified in the selected metadata, and store the data at a secured database for re-deployment, wherein the data is associated with the selected metadata;
• re-deploy, in response to input from a user system, the manifest file of the selected metadata to a second organization of a second tenant of the multi-tenant database system that is different than the first organization;
• and
• re-deploy, via a data engine that executes at one or more other hardware-based processors, the data associated with the selected metadata to the second organization that is different than the first organization, and when the manifest file has been re-deployed, wherein the one or more other hardware-based processors of the data engine are further configured to automatically reconstruct relationships amongst the data that has been successfully migrated to the second organization and a new identifier that is associated with the data at the second organization.
