A method, system, and computer-readable medium, including receiving a request to process a business object including an indication of at least one feature that can be invoked in the processing of the business object; determining the at least one feature associated with the business object based on the indication thereof included with the business object; determining whether the at least one feature associated with the business object can be executed by a second application based on an indication of a set of features supported by the second application; processing, in response to a determination that the at least one feature can be executed by the second application, the business object by the second application; and processing, in response to a determination that the at least one feature is not supported by the second application, the business object by a first application that supports a first set of features.

Transition of business-object based application architecture via dynamic feature check

An application scaffold is generated based on an object model. The object model includes CDS objects and DCL objects. The CDS objects and the DCL objects are evaluated together with corresponding CDS annotations and DCL annotations. Based on the evaluation, a field control hub is generated. The field control hub evaluates the DCL annotations and determines, based on one or more authorization objects from the DCL annotations, field control data for a field from a number of fields of a UI. When a user requests the UI, the field of the UI is displayed in accordance with the determined field control data for a role of the user.

Field control annotations based on authorization objects

A method includes supplementing a database with multiple database views respectively representing a data model and including a first column representing a first attribute of the data model and a second column representing a second attribute of the data model; identifying a database view capable of retrieving requested data; retrieving instances of the data model represented by the identified view via the network using a first select criterion directed at the first column and a second select criterion directed at the second column of said view, the second attribute values of the data model instances being calculated selectively for instances having been dynamically identified by the first select criterion; and returning a result via the network.

Data retrieval via a telecommunication network

In one embodiment the present invention includes a computer implemented method of adding user interface elements within an application program. The method includes generating a user interface layout having user interface elements and database connections, where the database connections relate the user interface elements to a database. The method further includes generating a selection layout having element groups, where each of the element groups includes a first element and a second element that are spatially related. The method further includes receiving a user selection of a selected element group of the element groups, and generating the user interface layout having the user interface elements, where the user interface elements now includes the selected element group. In this manner, the user interface layout may be efficiently adjusted.

System and method of adding user interface element groups

In one embodiment, a proxy transactional context corresponding to a transactional context of a first software solution unit is generated. Further, a business object of a second software solution unit corresponding to the proxy transactional context is retrieved. Furthermore, the assignment of the retrieved business object to a business object of the first software solution unit is defined and the defined assignment is stored in the proxy data object. The proxy transactional context may be accessed using a remote function call and upon executing the proxy transactional context, the program returns to the transactional context. Thereby, the first software solution unit is integrated with the second software solution unit without disrupting the transactional context of the first software solution unit.
