Various embodiment of systems and methods to send a response for a request received at a runtime agent has been described. Initially a request including an access path of plurality of files is received at the runtime agent. Based on the received request, one or more files from the plurality of files that have a dynamic property are determined. Next the one or more files that have the dynamic property are parsed to identify an include statement in the one or more files, wherein the include statement has an access path for a to-be-included file. Next the data from the one or more files and the to-be-included file is retrieved by the runtime agent. The data retrieved from the one or more files and the to-be-included files to obtain a merged data are merged. Finally the response including the merged data is sent to the client by the runtime agent.

Request processing by a runtime agent in a network system

A mesh structure can be a type concept that extends internal tables or other data structures of a business programming languages (e.g., ABAP) by associations, as known from a data object meta-model. A mesh can include a set of operations, such as for example iteration via an iterator object and selection of instances expressed by a path language. A mesh structure can be optimized for read access and traversal, and can provide a working area that is processed with statements in the business programming language to implement one or more core services directly from the mesh data structure. Related methods, computer program products, and systems are described.

Native language support for intra-and interlinked data collections using a mesh framework

A method and system for index serialization are described. A data structure containing objects using globally unique identifier (GUID) strings for their identification is indexed by creating a unique key object for each GUID. A master lookup table from GUID to key object is created along with a master table for each element type and a number of non-master tables for the other element type attributes. These element type tables are accessed using the key objects. The tables may then be serialized and deserialized.

Method and system for index serialization

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for providing for processing calculation plans. In one aspect, there is provided a computer-implemented method. The method may include generating a calculation plan including a plurality of nodes; determining whether at least one of the nodes includes a function node; and compiling the function node into executable code to enable execution of the plurality of nodes including the function node at the database. Related apparatus, systems, methods, and articles are also described.

Generic node including stored script

Various embodiments of systems and methods for tracking queries and retrieved results are described herein. In one aspect, a first query is associated with a first result set in a first tuple and a second query is associated with a second result set in a second tuple. The first result set is retrieved based on the execution of the first query and the second result set is retrieved based on the execution of the second query. The first and the second tuples are retained in a data structure in the order of execution of the respective queries. The retrieved result sets may be accessed forwards or backwards along the data structure without re-execution of the queries.

Tracking queries and retrieved results

A graphical user interface control with a plurality of elements can be used to traverse a software application used to effect business processes. In some variations, the control takes the shape of a compass rose with at least two opposite axes, the activation of which cause the information displayed within the software application to become coarser or more granular depending on which of the two axes is selected. Related techniques, apparatus, systems, and articles.

Business software navigation control

A short identifier can be generated for each of a plurality of data objects. Each short identifier can include a first portion characterizing a sort order and a second portion characterizing a composite component identifier associated with the corresponding data object. The sort order can characterize a relationship (e.g., grouping, etc.) among at least a subset of the plurality of data objects. After the short identifiers have been generated, they can be stored in a database to enable queries of the database containing a short identifier to return data contained within the corresponding data objects. Related systems, apparatus, methods, and/or articles are also described.

Data object identifiers

In one aspect, a computer-implemented method may provide evaluation of a query based on query-specific event handlers. The method may include receiving a query. Moreover, one or more objects and aspects of the objects may be determined based on the received query. The objects and aspects may be registered with event handlers to monitor the objects and aspects. The received query may be evaluated, when at least one of the event handlers indicates a change to at least one of the objects and the aspects. Other event handlers may be registered, when at least one of the event handlers indicates the change. Related systems, apparatus, methods, and/or articles are also described.

Automatic event registration during query execution

A system and method for querying metamodel data is provided. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving, at a computer, a query indicator, the query indicator defining a type of query for a value in the metamodel data; performing, based on the query indicator, the query for the value by searching a first set of parent and child nodes and recursively querying the metamodel data to identify the value in another set of parent and child nodes; and providing, as a result, the value and at least one of the nodes from the sets of parent and child nodes.

Systems and methods for querying metamodel data

A method of aiding a user in using features of a software application comprises receiving from a user a selection of layout. The layout is to be used in creating an informational display for displaying results of a data repository query. At least one input field and an image are displayed to the user. The image is of a sample informational display that is based on the selected layout. The at least one input field is displayed in association with at least one feature shown in the displayed sample image. A user input is received via the input field. The user input is to be used in modifying the at least one feature in the new informational display. That least one input field may be displayed on top of the displayed sample image, in close proximity to the shown feature.
