The disclosure generally describes computer-implemented methods, computer program products, and systems for providing metadata-driven dynamic load balancing in multi-tenant systems. A computer-implemented method includes: identifying a request related to a model-based application executing in a multi-tenant system associated with a plurality of application servers and identifying at least one object in the model-based application associated with the request. At least one application server is identified as associated with a locally-cached version of a runtime version of the identified object, and a determination of a particular one of the identified application servers to send the identified request for processing is based on a combination of the availability of a locally-cached version of the runtime version at the particular application server and the server's processing load. The request is then sent to the determined application server for processing.

Metadata-driven dynamic load balancing in multi-tenant systems

Various embodiments of systems and methods to display an additional message information relevant to a product are described herein. Initially a determination is made whether error message, corresponding to a data processing error related to a product, has a corresponding additional message information related to the product. Next, based on the determined additional message information, an additional message information property of the error message is updated to indicate that the error message has the corresponding additional information. Next, based on the updated additional message information property, the additional message information is converted to obtain a converted additional message information in a markup language. Finally the converted additional message information is forwarded to a user interface, where it is displayed.

Additional message information handling for applications

The present disclosure involves systems, products, and methods for modifying elements within a user interface (UI). One method includes operations for identifying an instance of a UI text element for modification within a UI associated with a software application, wherein the UI is displayed to at least one user; retrieving a set of metadata associated with the identified instance of the UI text element, where each instance of the UI text element is associated with the retrieved set of metadata; receiving at least one modification to the retrieved set of metadata associated with the identified instance of the UI text element; and persisting the modified set of metadata associated with the UI text element.

System and method for modifying user interface elements

Methods, systems, and computer-readable storage media for quantifying a redundancy of data stored in tables of a database. In some implementations, actions include, for each primary key and table pair in a set of primary key and table pairs, determining an aggregate severity sub-score based on one or more values of the primary key in the table, the primary key being included in a set of primary keys and the table being included in a set of tables, determining an aggregate severity score for each primary key in the set of primary keys based on aggregate severity sub-scores associated with the primary key to provide a plurality of aggregate severity scores, each aggregate severity score indicating a relative redundancy of values of the primary key across all tables in the set of tables, and providing a list of aggregate severity scores and corresponding primary keys for display to a user.

Detection and quantifying of data redundancy in column-oriented in-memory databases

Customer initiated tenant operations are presented that are provided within a work center of a client cloud application. System supported tenant operations combined with automatic validations and determinations are exposed directly to the customer via the work center. Customers are able to coordinate and initiate tenant operations using a specific work center called a service control center, which is added to other work centers that build the cloud enterprise applications or products the customers are using. The enterprise application embedded service control center is connected to a central service control center, which is located in a service provider cockpit system. The central service control center enables the execution of customer specific tenant operations that are tailored to the customer's landscape and guarantees the tenant isolation.

Customer initiated tenant operations in a multitenant cloud environment

In some example implementations, there is provided a method. The method may include receiving, at an interface, a selection of one of a plurality of elements of a tool bar, the plurality of elements including an application structure element and a where-used element; obtaining, in response to the selected element, at least one view providing a graphical representation of context information for a component of a system; and providing to a user interface the at least one view as a stream to allow presentation at the user interface. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also provided.

Adaptive contextual graphical representation of development entities

Various embodiments of systems and methods to determine semantic information of a plurality of business applications are described herein. In one aspect, a selection of user interface elements of a first business application and a second business application of the plurality of business applications are received. Further, data processing paths to a business object field and a corresponding database table field associated with the user interface elements are identified. Furthermore, semantic information of the plurality of business applications is determined by grouping the identified data processing paths, which can be used for applications such as business application integration, business data migration and the like.

Determining semantic information of business applications

In accordance with aspects of the disclosure, a system and methods are provided for managing development of business applications. The system and methods may be provided for defining security relevance for data types associated with business objects, defining security rules for the data types associated with the business objects, and defining validation and test fulfillment of the security rules by providing one or more security runtime modules for each security rule defined by the security rules handler to ensure validation and test fulfillment of each security rule.

Development of business applications

A system, a method, and a computer-program product for providing multi-language support in applications are disclosed. A first textual expression contained within an application is obtained. The first textual expression is expressed in a first language. A unique key from a hash of the first textual expression is generated. A language code representative of a second language is determined. Based on the generated unique key and the determined language code, a second textual expression in the second language representative of a translation from the first language into the second language indicated by the language code is determined. The second textual expression is provided to the application to replace the first textual expression in a view presented to a user.

Common multi-language text management in a business-oriented software framework

A code generator may determine an object metadata model which defines structures and behaviors of objects adapted for use in at least one software application, where the code generator includes an object analyzer configured to determine at least one object instance of the object metadata model, a domain analyzer configured to determine a domain associated with the at least one object instance, and a template selector configured to select a domain-specific code template based on the domain. The code generator may generate a domain-specific application program interface (API) configured to facilitate interactions of the at least one object instance during execution of the at least one software application, using the domain-specific code template.

Domain-specific generation of programming interfaces for business objects

According to some embodiments, information about a delta change package may be received. The delta change package may be, for example, associated with a customer extension project to be applied to content from a business service provider. A description tag for the delta change package may be received from a user, and the delta change package may be associated with the description tag in a repository of the business service provider.

Managing extension projects with repository based tagging

The present description refers to a technique for receiving a client instruction, performing an action in response to the client instruction, generating an instance of a progress information message by the business object calling a first method of an API and identifying the progress information message to be generated, determining if an error condition occurs during the performing the action, generating an instance of an error message, if the error condition occurs, by calling the first method of the API, sending the progress information message instance from a second software work process to the client application in response to a request for progress information received by the second software work process from the client application, and sending the error message instance, if generated, from the first software work process to the client application.

Generation of error messages and progress information messages via a common interface

The present disclosure describes methods, systems, and computer program products for semantically analyzing modeled objects. One method includes identifying an object model created in a distributed development system for semantic analysis, where the distributed development system is associated with a software platform. The identified object model is then semantically analyzed based on a predetermined algorithm. A set of at least one pre-existing object models associated with the software platform is compared to the semantically analyzed object model, and a level of semantic overlap between the semantically analyzed object model and each of the set of at least one pre-existing object models is determined. In some instances, the predetermined algorithm may be selected based on and correspond to the object model type of the identified object model. The set of at least one pre-existing object models may comprise a subset of pre-existing object models available in a development system or associated with a software platform.

Automated support for distributed platform development

The present disclosure involves systems, products, and methods for automatically testing and verifying business objects. One method includes operations for identifying a modified business object for testing and verification; retrieving a set of metadata associated with the identified modified business object, the set of metadata retrieved from a metadata repository and including at least one core service performed by the identified modified business object; identifying at least one verification procedure associated with at least one of the core services operable to be performed by the identified modified business object; executing each of the at least one identified verification procedures; and determining whether execution of at least one of the identified verification procedures failed.
