Embodiments relate to systems and methods providing a flip-though format for viewing notification of messages and related items on devices, for example personal mobile devices such as smart phones. According to an embodiment, an unread item most recently received is shown in full screen on the mobile device. While the user is viewing this item, the device will automatically retrieve and load into a cache memory, the next most recently received item. When the user is done viewing the item most recently received, the user can swipe a finger across the touch screen to trigger a page flipping animation and display of the next most recently received item. Embodiments avoid the user having to click back and forth between a list of notifications/links and corresponding notification items.

Flip-through format to view notification and related items

Translation of uniform resource locators (URLs). A URL is received, in a computer system and from a computer device, referring to a resource managed by a first application in the computer system, for which resource the computer system uses an internal URL. A first rule set is selected from among multiple rule sets assigned to a respective one of multiple applications, based on the first rule set being assigned to the first application. At least a portion of the URL is matched with a rule in the first rule set identifying an internal URL portion as corresponding to the portion of the URL. The internal URL portion is included in a translated URL, wherein a second rule set identifies another internal URL portion as corresponding to the portion of the URL. At least part of the resource is forwarded to the computing device.

A business object model, which reflects data that is used during a given business transaction, is utilized to generate interfaces. This business object model facilitates commercial transactions by providing consistent interfaces that are suitable for use across industries, across businesses, and across different departments within a business during a business transaction. In some operations, software creates, updates, or otherwise processes information related to a feed event, a feed event document, and/or a feed event type business object.

Consistent interface for feed event, feed event document and feed event type

A business object model, which reflects data that is used during a given business transaction, is utilized to generate interfaces. This business object model facilitates commercial transactions by providing consistent interfaces that are suitable for use across industries, across businesses, and across different departments within a business during a business transaction. In some operations, software creates, updates, or otherwise processes information related to a user feed administrator, a user feed event link and/or a user feed settings business object.

Consistent interface for user feed administrator, user feed event link and user feed settings

Aspects of trending and trend-influencing approaches usable in content feeds of business software frameworks are described. A trending topic can be created based on a plurality of feed content items generated by a plurality of feeds across at least a subset of a customer organization using a business software architecture. The creating can include identifying an activity relating to a business process or scenario of the customer organization that underlies the feed content items. In some options, a super-user can insert artificial trends.

Analysis and influence of trends in enterprise collaboration feeds

A query handler may be configured to receive a query which is applicable against different combinations of a plurality of remote databases and a corresponding plurality of replica databases including at least some replicated data of respective ones of the remote databases, wherein the query arrives at a plurality of query arrival times and is executed at a plurality of query execution times. A replication manager may be configured to execute a synchronization plan for at least one selected replica database in which a selected synchronization timestamp of the at least one selected replica database is updated to a target synchronization timestamp, wherein the synchronization occurs during a synchronization processing time. A synchronization scheduler may be configured to schedule the synchronization plan to increase an information value of a query response, including selecting the target synchronization timestamp including relating the synchronization processing time to a selected query execution time.

Correlation aware synchronization for near real-time decision support

A business object model, which reflects data that is used during a given business transaction, is utilized to generate interfaces. This business object model facilitates commercial transactions by providing consistent interfaces that are suitable for use across industries, across businesses, and across different departments within a business during a business transaction. In some operations, software creates, updates, or otherwise processes information related to a feed collaboration group and/or a feed event subscription business object.

Consistent interface for feed collaboration group and feed event subscription

Information-based decision support may be provided by a query handler configured to receive a query which is applicable against different combinations of a plurality of remote databases and a corresponding plurality of replica databases including at least some replicated data of respective ones of the remote databases, wherein each replica database is synchronized with a corresponding remote database at a plurality of synchronization times and the different combinations include future versions of the replica databases defined by corresponding synchronization times. A query plan generator may be configured to determine information values associated with at least a subset of the different combinations, based on a query value associated with the query and on a diminishment of the query value caused by a corresponding combination, and further configured to generate, based on the information values, a query plan including at least one combination of the different combinations for executing the query therewith.

Information value-driven near real-time decision support

An operator manager may be configured to determine a number of available cores and to assign the cores among a plurality of operators of a query, the operators including a running set of operators through which a plurality of query paths exist. The operator manager may include a status monitor configured to determine the number of available cores and to determine the running set of operators, a critical path selector configured to determine a critical path of the query from among the query paths and the running set of operators, and a workload manager configured to assign a first core of the available cores to a running operator of the running set and of the critical path, and to thereafter receive a new critical path from the critical path selector and to assign a second core of the available cores to the running operator of the new critical path.
