Transactional data associated with a specific instance of a business scenario that includes an intersecting process feature requiring prerequisite action by a prerequisite process feature that is part of another business scenario can be linked to a scenario model providing a linearized representation in which other process features of the business scenario, the intersecting process feature, and the prerequisite process feature are arranged in a linear sequence. A navigation pane including a linear progression of user interface elements representing the linear sequence can be concurrently displayed with a work pane including other user interface elements corresponding to functionality provided by business software architecture features related to a currently selected process feature. The navigation pane display can expand at a selected user interface element to display additional user interface elements corresponding to process features involved in completion of the process feature corresponding to the selected first user interface element.

Linear visualization for overview, status display, and navigation along business scenario instances

A view object is generated in a target deployment unit in a design time environment of a metadata repository. The view object is modeled on a business object of a source deployment unit. The source deployment unit includes process components of a business application that is physically decoupled from the target deployment unit. A subset of attributes of the business object of the source deployment unit is selected. The subset of attributes includes at least an outbound agent and an inbound agent implemented by a generic messaging framework. The view object is modeled in the target deployment unit with the subset of attributes of the business object. The inbound agent of the view object is configured for receiving a replication message from the outbound agent of the business object, and the replication message includes replication data for configuring the view object only with data from the business object.

Declarative view objects

Methods, systems, and computer-readable storage media for evaluating a validity of a status and action management (SAM) schema. In some implementations, actions include receiving the SAM schema, the SAM schema being stored as a computer-readable document in memory, providing one or more goals, each goal representing an intention of the SAM schema, the one or more goals being provided in a computer-readable document stored in memory and including one or more primary goals and one or more recovery goals that each express an intention of a process underlying the SAM schema, and processing the one or more goals using a computer-executable model checking tool for evaluating the validity of the SAM schema.

Verification of status schemas based on business goal definitions

Methods and apparatus, including systems and computer program products, for a services architecture design that provides enterprise services having accounting functionality at the level of an enterprise application. The design includes a set of service operations, process components, and optionally deployment units. Suitable business objects are also described.
