Some embodiments provide a non-transitory machine-readable medium that stores a program. The program receives from an application a set of data objects for transmission to a computing system. The set of data objects have a type. The program further identifies a data handler definition from a plurality of data handler definitions based on the type of the set of data objects. Each data handler definition in the plurality of data handler definitions specifies a type of data object and a communication protocol. The program also transmits the set of data objects to the computing system using the communication protocol specified in the identified data handler definition.

Data transmission for data replication system

Some embodiments provide a non-transitory machine-readable medium that stores a program. The program receives a selection of a type of data to replicate from the first computing system to a second computing system. The program further receives a selection of a form in a set of forms. Each form in the set of forms is associated with a set of fields for data having the selected type of data and managed the second computing system. The program also sends the second computing system a request for the set of fields associated with the selected form. The program further generates a mapping between the set of fields associated with the selected form and a set of fields of data managed by the first computing system.

Field mapping for data replication system

A system includes invoking, from a first application, a first method of a first interface to instantiate a first instance of a message handler class, the first instance of the message handler class associated with a first message buffer, providing, from the first application, a second interface and a handler to the first instance of the message handler class to a second application, and invoking, from the second application, a second method of the second interface to add a first message to the first message buffer associated with the first instance of the message handler class.

Hierarchical message handler

Some embodiments provide a non-transitory machine-readable medium that stores a program. The program receives a set of values for a set of attributes associated with a plurality of data objects managed by a first system. The program further generates a replication filter for filtering the plurality of data objects based on the set of values for the set of attributes associated with the plurality of data objects. The program also replicates a subset of the plurality of data objects from the first system to the second system based on the replication filter. The program further receives a set of data from the second system, the set of data generated by the second system based on the subset of the plurality of data objects.

Replication filters for data replication system

Some embodiments provide a non-transitory machine-readable medium storing a program that receives, at a first system, a first configuration for replicating a first type of data managed by the first system to a second system. The program further receives, at a third system, a second configuration for replicating a second type of data managed by the third system to the second system. The program also replicates a first set of data having the first type of data from the first system to the second system based on the first configuration. The program further replicates a second set of data having the second type of data from the third system to the second system based on the second configuration. The program also receives a third set of data from the second system, the third set of data generated by the second system based on the first and second sets of data.

System configuration for data replication system

Some embodiments provide a non-transitory machine-readable medium that stores a program. The program receives a specification of a set of attributes associated with a plurality of data objects managed by a first system. Each attribute in the set of attributes is associated with a different level in a hierarchy that includes a set of levels. The program further generates a hierarchical list of the set of attributes associated with the plurality of data objects based on the hierarchy. The program also replicates the plurality of data objects from the first system to a second system based on the hierarchical list of the set of attributes associated with the plurality of data objects in order for the second system to store the plurality of data objects according to the hierarchy.

Hierarchical data objects for data replication system

Some embodiments provide a non-transitory machine-readable medium that stores a program. The program receives from a system data comprising a set of expense entries. The program further determines, for each expense entry in the set of expense entries, an entry use case. The program also processes, for each expense entry in the set of expense entries, the expense entry based on the determined entry use case. The program further generates a document based on the processed set of expense entries.

Data processing for data replication system

In one embodiment, first and second computer systems are integrated to exchange information and coordinate processing of data. A first computer system may access data in a database for a document ready for external processing. The data may be stored in a queue and retrieved by the second system using a request. The second system sends an acknowledgement when the data is received. The data in the queue may be locked until a confirmation is received in the first system that processing on the second system is complete. In particular embodiments, the first system may be a cloud computer system and the second system a backend computer system.

Hybrid cloud integration systems and methods

A method and system for time dependent search is described. A search manager may receive a query for time dependent information relating to a base object and a time period. The search manager may search a search optimized storage system of technical objects for a technical object that matches the query. Each technical object may include a reference to time dependent information stored by a base object and a validity period. The validity period for each technical object is chosen by time stretching logic such that valid time dependent information is available for all time periods.

Method, article and system for time dependent search

A computer system may receive an instruction to perform an action on an object. A schedule manager may identify a set of processes associated with the action that need to be performed by the computer system. A subset of primary process and a subset of secondary processes may be identified from the set of processes associated with the action. The schedule manager may schedule an asynchronous process to perform the subset of secondary processes on the object. The computer system may perform the subset of primary processes on the object. The subset of secondary process may be performed by the asynchronous process based upon the scheduling.

Method and system to perform time consuming follow-up processes

Computer-implemented prospective planning of personnel costs for an enterprise includes conducting planning preparation to plan the personnel costs, electronically collecting data relating to personnel costs, electronically performing a cost planning run, electronically conducting a detailed analysis of the results to revise and modify the collected data to produce updated results, and reporting the results of the cost planning run.

Personnel cost planning

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for data pulls. In some implementations, a method may be provided which includes accessing an object to determine whether a prior pull request is at least one of an a restricted type or an unrestricted type; generating, when the prior pull request is determined to be of the unrestricted type and successful, a pull request including a time stamp obtained from the object; generating, when the prior pull request is determined to be at least one of the restricted type or unsuccessful, a pull request including at least one of a selection criteria and another time stamp obtained from the object, the other time stamp representing a prior successful pull request; sending, by a first processor, the generated pull request to a second processor having master data to obtain an update to data at the first processor.

Data pulls

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 message-based communication arrangement, an organizational center replication request, and a payment schedule business object.

Consistent interface for message-based communication arrangement, organisational centre replication request, and payment schedule

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for data destruction. In one aspect, there is provided a computer-implemented method. The method may include receiving a request to destroy a first data object; determining whether other data objects depend from the first data object; determining a structure for the first data object and the other data objects, when the other data objects depend from the first data object; initiating, based on the determined structure, calls to the other data objects to destroy the other data objects before the first data object; and initiating a call to the first data object to destroy the first data object, when the other data objects have been destroyed. Related apparatus, systems, methods, and articles are also described.

Data destruction mechanisms

Read access logging is performed by tracing data accesses in all domains. The logged data is traced on metadata level with some additions identifying the exposed data records. All data relevant for read access logging is stored at first in a temporary log, which is later processed, structured, and archived.
