The present disclosure describes methods, systems, and computer program products for providing a remote device remote access to software functions. One method includes providing a list of second software functions to a first remote device that are not accessible by the remote device, wherein the remote device has remote access to a first software function; receiving from the remote device a request for a software function of the provided list of second software functions and upon receiving the request, providing the remote device remote access to the requested software function by transmitting access data for the requested software function to the remote device; and after providing the remote access to the requested software function, receiving from the remote device a deactivation command for the requested software function or the first software function and, based on the deactivation command, deactivating the remote access of the remote device to the requested software function or the first software function.

Switchable business feature with prices and sales integration

Disclosed are methods, systems and products, including a method that includes receiving, by at least one processor-based device, data relating to features of a computing system, generating, by the at least one processor-based device, a diagram including graphical data representative of, at least partly, the features of the computing system, including an order of release of at least some subsystems of the computing system and layered relationship information, and providing the generated diagram to a user interface for presentation.

The subject matter disclosed herein provides methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for proposing training based on the prediction or measurement of different metrics associated with a transport request. In one aspect there is provided a method that may include preparing a transport request including one or more objects configured to provide an update of an application. The transport request may be associated with one or more metrics, each metric having a metric value. The method may also include determining whether the transport request includes at least one error by at least evaluating the metric value for each of the one or more metrics and comparing the metric value for each of the metrics with a threshold value; and proposing, based on the determining, at least one training course when the transport request includes the at least one error. Related systems, apparatus, methods, and/or articles are also described.

Automatic training proposal based on software update errors

This disclosure provides various embodiments of software for identifying and utilizing a generic update module with recursive calls. In one aspect, the software receives packed update parameters for updating a data record in a database, unpacks the update parameters, and updates the data record in the database using the unpacked update parameters. In some implementations, the update parameters may comprise a packed long byte string. The software may update the data record by returning the unpacked update parameters to a business application for database execution.

System and method utilizing a generic update module with recursive calls

A system may include determination of historical resource load information associated with an enterprise computing system, determination of resource needs of the enterprise computing system associated with a future time based on the historical resource load information, and, at the future time, automatic allocation and de-allocation of resources to the enterprise computing system based on the determined resource needs.

Dynamic resource adaptation

This disclosure provides various embodiments of software for identifying and utilizing a generic database query. In one aspect, the software identifies a generic query such that the generic query is independent of a particular database layout, and accesses a database table having a first layout using the generic query. In some implementations, the software may comprise a business application associated with a database, where the generic query is embedded in the business application without knowledge of the associated database's table layout. In other implementations, the generic query may be embedded in the software before the database table is created.

Article utilizing a generic update module with recursive calls identify, reformat the update parameters into the identified database table structure

Systems and processes may access data in various graph structures, often including data models that do not partially or fully utilize relations such as hierarchical graphs. For example, software for processing this non-relational data identifies a data model that includes a plurality of nodes independent of relations, each non-root node storing an identifier of the particular node's parent. The software then processes the data model using a generic graph service that utilizes nodes and relations. In some cases, such data models may include hierarchical graph structures and one or more of the nodes may be a recursive node.

Relation-based hierarchy evaluation of recursive nodes

This disclosure provides various embodiments of software for utilizing a common database layout. In one aspect, a first database table having a first layout and a generic index is accessed using a first instance of a query, and a second database table having a second layout and the generic index is accessed using a second instance of the query. Some implementations may have a generic index that consists of a globally unique identifier. Other implementations may have a generic index that is a combination of database table fields. In some implementations, the first and second database tables may be resident in a first data repository, and the software may access a third database table having a third layout and the generic index using a third instance of the query, wherein the third database table is resident in a second data repository.

Software and method for utilizing a common database layout

A method for displaying time dependent information includes displaying a time axis, wherein periods of time are displayed equidistantly on the time axis regardless of an actual time period being represented and providing a user interface allowing a user to scroll along the time axis.

Systems and methods for displaying time dependent information

In one embodiment, the invention is a method. The method includes receiving a validity statement including a range and an identifier from a user interface. The method further includes determining the identifier indicates a validity range statement. The method also includes looking up the range of the validity statement in a validity range table. Additionally, the method includes translating the range of the validity statement into a validity from parameter and a validity to parameter. Moreover, the method includes submitting a database select statement including the validity from parameter and the validity to parameter to a database interface. Furthermore, the method includes receiving a set of records from the database interface responsive to the database select statement. Also, the method includes transmitting the set of records to the user interface.

Simplified validity range selection

A technique for maintenance and utilization of templates in a database. In response to a database access request in a productive data database access configuration, a database interface facilitates access to a template database when a template switch is enabled. The database interface facilitates normal database access when the template switch is disabled.

Copy template/read only data in application tables

A technique for preventing modification of productive data in a database. In response to a database access request in a productive data database access configuration, a database interface facilitates access to a sample database when a sample switch is enabled. The database interface facilitates normal database access when the sample switch is disabled.
