The present disclosure pertains to systems and methods for providing search results. A database server may include both a database and a search engine. The database server can receive a search request from an application of a remote computer. The search request can include one or more search terms and permission information. The database server can determine adapting information using the permission information. The database server can provide a search call based on the search request and the adapting information to the search engine. The search engine can determine one or more search statements for the search call. The search engine can execute the one or more search statements on one or more stored search models to obtain database results reflecting the permission information. The database server can provide search results based on the database results to the application of the remote computer.

Database search integration

A system, a method, and a computer program product for performing component integration. A first computing system generates a computing component for integration with a second computing system. The first computing system provides the computing component to the second computing system. The second computing system configures the computing component for operation by the first computing system with at least one computing component of the second computing system. The first computing system operates the configured computing component in the second computing system.

Component integration

Techniques and solutions are described for transferring metadata between software applications. A translation framework stores metadata models in a standard format. Source applications can cause metadata models to be stored in the translation framework in the standard format. A target application can receive metadata models, or elements thereof, from the translation framework, which metadata models can be optionally converted from the standard format to a target format used by the target application. The translation framework can store annotations to a metadata model in the form of custom metadata types. The custom metadata types can be used by one or both of the target application and a source application. Source applications can cause values to be stored for annotations they support. Target applications can read values for annotations they support. Source applications and target applications do not write or read, respectively, unsupported annotations.

Unified metadata model translation framework

Techniques and solutions are described for facilitating deploying tenants to, and managing tenants in, a cloud computing environment. In determining where a tenant should be deployed, cloud-based software applications, or at least cloud-based software applications of a particular type, used by the tenant are considered. Computing resources needed by the tenant are determined. The tenant is deployed to a computing infrastructure that has instances of the cloud-based software applications used by the tenant and has computing resources sufficient to satisfy the needs of the tenant. If the tenant is to access another software application, the data for such application is deployed to that computing infrastructure. If the tenant's computing resource needs exceed the available resources of the infrastructure, resources are added to the infrastructure or the tenant's data for all of the cloud-based software applications are moved to another computing infrastructure.

Automated cloud computing tenant deployment service

Embodiments of the present invention may provide a system and method for providing real time analytics and reporting across networked applications. The real time analytics and reporting across networked applications may be provided by extending the reporting metadata and the corresponding design- and runtime-tools. Based on a cross NWAs MDAV-Definition, the corresponding metadata (subview and subquery definitions) may be generated and assigned to the corresponding NWA-Layer (NWA software component). At deployment and configuration time, the relevant views may be activated depending availability of underlying data. At runtime, an MDAV executer (e.g., a MDAV runtime engine) may run a distributed and optimized provisioning of reporting and analytics data. The data provisioning scheme may depend on selection parameters, filters, join conditions between parts in different NWAs, analytical functions defined in the report, and the locality of the data (local or remote).

System and method for integrated real time reporting and analytics across networked applications

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for providing a query language based on a model. In one aspect, there is provided a computer-implemented method. The method may include receiving a first query; generating, based on a model including metadata representing a data structure, a second query specific to the data structure stored in a database; and sending the second query to the database. Related apparatus, systems, methods, and articles are also described.

Query language based on business object model

A computer system includes instructions recorded on a computer-readable storage medium and executable by at least one processor. The computer system includes a process component of a first deployment unit and a component module. The process component has a handling module and an object module. The handling module is operatively coupled to the object module. The handling module is operatively coupled to the component module. The handling module is configured to receive a message from a second deployment unit.

Systems and methods for sending and receiving communications

Embodiments of the invention relate to computing, and in particular, to a systems and methods for a querying a database. Certain embodiments implement a model-driven database query ('the SADL query') facilitating a design-time tool that allows a developer to create the query based upon existing Business Objects (BOs) and their associations. This SADL query leverages mapping between business-layer entities and database-layer entities, such mapping being derived from association metadata already extant in the business model used to create the Business Objects. In certain embodiments, query views may be based upon associations present within the business layer, rather than upon database-level entities (such as joins or restriction rules) that are typically relied upon in conventional query creation. Embodiments of the present invention may thus align query creation more closely with the structure of the business layer, and may also render query design agnostic relative to the identity of the underlying database.

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for providing value help. In one aspect, there is provided a computer-implemented method. The method may include receiving at least one field of a row of a list presented at a user interface; transforming, at a service component rather than the user interface, the at least one field into a query; and sending the transformed query to a database. Related apparatus, systems, methods, and articles are also described.

Query transformation

Business objects can be implemented in a single persistence scenario that supports both online transaction processing (OLTP) and online analytical processing (OLAP). A consumption-centric approach can use a same business object attribute data format model for consumption and persistence. Also, a singular model can be implemented in different layers of a system processing business objects. Extra software layers can be avoided. A business-objects-based system can take advantage of the technologies to provide greater flexibility, ease of extensibility, and performance improvements.

Single persistence implementation of business objects

A system includes first metadata defining a business object object model, and second metadata defining a first object model to define a query on the business object object model. The first object model is an instance of a business object view metadata model, and the business object object model is an instance of a business object metadata model. In some aspects, a request is received to retrieve a result element associated with a query on a business object, the business object comprising an instance of a business object object model, and the business object is instantiated based on first metadata defining the business object object model. An instance of a business object view object model is instantiated based on second metadata defining the business object view object model, the instance of the business object view object model defining the query on the business object.

Common modeling of data access and provisioning for search, query, reporting and/or analytics

Aspects of the current subject matter can provide a background job repository that stores a background job template specifying a background job comprising a maintenance task that affects a customized software platform. The background job template can also include metadata defining a purpose of the background job, triggering information indicating when the background job should be executed, and a prerequisite feature of the customized software platform that indicates a need for the background job in the customized software platform. A previous set of background jobs that run in the customized software platform can be updated to a current set by comparing the previous set with the background job template and including the background job in the current set of background jobs when the customized software platform includes the prerequisite feature.

Repository of background job templates

A bulk service interface can be instantiated for each of at least one service provider providing a plurality of business objects using a stored definition of a plurality of metadata properties relating to generation of a user interface that incorporates content of a plurality of business objects. The bulk service interface can query the stored definition and access, in a bulk metadata access process, dynamic metadata required for instantiation of the plurality of business objects. If the stored definition has not previously been received, a default bulk services access process that queries an existing dynamic metadata access interface of each of the plurality of business objects can be initiated to retrieve the dynamic metadata from each of the plurality of business objects. An instance of the user interface can be generated using dynamic metadata accessed by the bulk service interface and/or the retrieved by the default bulk services access process.

Bulk access to metadata in a service-oriented business framework

Techniques are described in which indication of a computer application to be configured for use in a particular business enterprise is received. A mass data run object is identified. The mass data run object defines a computer operation to be performed by the computer application to transform business transaction data as part of a business process. The mass data run object identifies i) selection parameters to select business transaction data to be transformed by the computer operation defined by the mass data run object and ii) instructions, that when executed, perform the computer operation to transform the selected business transaction data. A mass data run object instance corresponding to the identified mass data run object is generated and scheduled for execution.
