Some database tables include a relational field, where a record of the table stores a foreign-key reference value that identifies a related record of a second table. While fulfilling a request comprising a query over the database, the system may identify a context of the request, wherein the context is supplemental to the query, and wherein the context relates to the relational field. For example, a security policy may permit a requester to query the first table, but restrict the requester from accessing the second table that the relational field of the first table references, where dereferencing the relational field may cause unexpected results. Instead, the system may evaluate the context of the request, and may fulfill the request based on the context by providing a response that substitutes, for the value that references the second table, a substitute value that does not reference the second table.

Reconciling foreign key references and table security policies

A method of facilitating customization of a software-implemented business process includes storing, within a mobile computing device, a subscription list of entities. The subscription list is defined by subscription metadata. Customized data is received. The customized data corresponds to the entities identified in the subscription list. The received customized metadata is stored on the mobile computing device.

Metadata driven customization of a computer application

Business application adaptation to changes in business processes is enabled through real time modification of business application schema and metadata at runtime employing business rules to accommodate changing business processes without a need to change the underlying data and models. A business application user interface reacts to runtime changes and enforces validation and business rules as if the changes are made to the underlying structure.

A method of facilitating customization of a software-implemented business process includes storing, within a mobile computing device, a subscription list of entities. The subscription list being defined by subscription metadata. Customized data is received. The customized data corresponds to the entities identified in the subscription list. The received customized metadata is stored on the mobile computing device.

Methods and systems authenticate and authorize an extranet client to a secure intranet business application with a perimeter network topology, where connections to the secure intranet business application from outside the secure intranet are not permitted. A perimeter network proxy is authenticated within the secure intranet. The perimeter network proxy corresponds to an authenticated extranet client. If the perimeter network proxy is authenticated, information on an intranet business application client is acquired and used to create a session with the intranet business application. The intranet business application client corresponds to the extranet client, and the extranet client uses the session to submit requests to the intranet business application.

Managed application programming interfaces (APIs), schemas and procedures receives a managed API call from an application, and maps the managed API call to an unmanaged API call. Managed data types and managed data objects of the managed API call are mapped to corresponding unmanaged data types and data objects. A request resulting from the unmanaged API call is dispatched to and interpreted by an unmanaged programming language interpreter, which executes the request in an unmanaged programming language. An unmanaged response to the request is mapped to a corresponding managed response, which is provided to the managed application.

Methods and systems access managed Internet protocol context information by receiving an unmanaged Internet protocol context class call from an Internet application written in an unmanaged programming language. An unmanaged Internet protocol context class, which is written in an unmanaged programming language, is instantiated in response to the call. Interaction with a managed Internet protocol context class results in receiving Internet protocol context information. The managed Internet protocol context class corresponds to the unmanaged Internet protocol context class.

Unmanaged programming language interoperability with managed internet protocol context

In a method of customizing a software-implemented business process on a mobile computing device, customized metadata defining customizations of the business process are provided. Next, the metadata is deployed to the mobile computing device and stored in a data store of the mobile computing device. The customizations defined by the metadata are then applied to the software-implemented business process.

In a method of managing a synch operation during which business solutions entities are loaded into a mobile data store of a mobile computing device from a central data storage system, subscriptions are defined that identify entities to be loaded into the mobile data store during a synch operation. Next, a remaining data storage capacity of the mobile data store and a subscriptions data quantity corresponding to an amount of data space required to store the entities identified by the subscriptions are estimated. Finally, the subscriptions data quantity is compared to the remaining data storage capacity.

A system and method for emulating a telephone driver of a mobile device to assist in the development and testing of mobile telephony applications is described. An emulated telephony driver maintains internal states of a wireless network and characteristics of the mobile device. A wireless network is simulated such that neither a cellular radio nor a mobile subscription are required for handset application development and testing.
