A database processing system can support applications of an online transaction processing (OLTP) archetype and of an online analytical processing (OLAP) archetype. Hybrid archetypes can also be supported to implement hybrid scenarios. Requests for services are routed to an appropriate engine for fulfillment. User interface assets can be served by a shared infrastructure. Seamless navigation from one archetype to another can be supported in an insight-to-action scenario.

Heterogeneous database processing archetypes for hybrid system

The present disclosure describes computer implemented methods, computer systems, electronic interfaces, mobile computing devices, and computer readable mediums for processing a request from a mobile application residing on a mobile computing device. One method may include receiving the request for data from the mobile application residing on the mobile device at an interface. The method may further include determining an interface service to be executed and executing the interface service. The method can then obtain, at the interface, from the execution of the interface service, a consumption model comprising one or more data models and associated data. The method may further include translating the consumption model and the associated data into an open source protocol, and sending a response from the interface including the translated consumption model and the associated data to the mobile application on the mobile device.

A computer-implemented system may include an application platform comprising a platform model of a plurality of business objects, each of the business objects comprising a model of data and associated logic, and a public solution model comprising a subset of the platform model. The system may also include a business application, wherein a data model and access logic of the business application are defined based on the public solution model, and wherein the application platform is to provide services to the business application based on the data model, the access logic and the platform model.

Public solution model in an enterprise service architecture

Presenting a user interface in a computing system, where device-specific information is added to data defined generically with respect to a particular device or presentation technology. The generic definition can be provided via template representing data and functionality of a user interaction, which is presented to a user in a specific way on a specific user interface. A class can be derived in the user interface from the template and instantiated with data in accordance with particulars of a data type. Data can be presented via instructions representing basic presentation patterns defining how data is to be presented on a user interface. Identifications of the instructions are matched to instructions to generate instructions specific to a presentation environment.

Method and system for providing a user interface in a computer

A data enrichment and consumption framework enables defining data object consumption based on semantic aspects of the data object. Views, contexts, and associations of the data object are defined to dynamically render UI content based on interaction with the data object. Additionally, standard views can be defined to enable rapid development of UIs. The same data content is rendered in consistent ways across different devices and UI technologies.

Data consumption framework for semantic objects

A method is provided for creating and/or utilizing a computer software application. The method may include structuring the application into a first software layer and a second software layer and defining a plurality of data elements used by the application. The method may also include establishing the first software layer based on the data elements for processing the data elements and creating the second software layer including adaptation data to present the plurality of data elements modified by the adaptation data associated with the data elements. Further, the adaptation data may enable plural presentations of the data elements by the second software layer independently from the first software layer.

Computer software adaptation method and system

Methods and systems are described for providing for messages having parameters to an interface. An exemplary method includes determining whether at least one message is related to one or more objects at a server based on a first parameter included within the message; determining a lifetime of the message based on a second parameter included within the message; determining a severity of the message based on a third parameter included within the message; and processing the message, at the user interface, based the results of the determining steps.

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for capturing data of a predefined type from a user. The techniques include sending a markup language page to a browser on a client; interpreting the markup language page by the browser to receive data from the user in a transfer format; transferring the data in the transfer format to an object on a server; storing the data by the object in the transfer format; converting the data from the transfer format to a process format by the object; checking the compliance of the data with a predefined rule by the object; and if the data complies with the predefined rule, forwarding the data in the process format by the object to the application; else, resending the markup language page to the browser with the data in the transfer format.

Capturing data of predefined type from user

The description includes methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for detecting and handling changes to back-end systems. Configuration data for a pattern is received. The pattern includes a predefined arrangement of user interface elements and specifies predefined actions that can be performed using the user interface elements. The configuration data includes a first version identification and specifies associations between one or more of the user interface elements and one or more entities in a back-end system. The back-end system is accessed and a second version identification is obtained. If the first version identification does not match the second version identification, the configuration data is modified based on information about the back-end system.

Detecting and handling changes to back-end systems

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products implement techniques for validating programs. A language-independent description of a computer program is received, and the language-independent description is validated. The language-independent description includes a definition module and an implementation module. A language-dependent program is generated from the language-independent description, where the language-dependent program includes an interface and a class, and the language-dependent program is validated.

Validating programs

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, implement techniques for structuring applications into reusable components. A reusable component having an external interface and an internal interface is implemented. The component encapsulates functionality, where multiple instances of the component are reusable at the same time. The component is configurable to embed one or more specified components. The external interface comprises an external programming interface, an external data-binding interface, and an external visual interface. The internal interface comprises an embedding interface, an internal programming interface, an internal data-binding interface, and an internal visual interface. The embedding interface specifies one or more component interfaces of components that can be embedded.

Reusable software components

Methods, computer systems and apparatus, including computer program products, for handling events in an event-driven software application. An event request specifying an event and values for one or more event parameters is received in a system event handler. The system event handler identifies an action associated with the specified event. The action specifies a required set of parameters and an event handling function specifying one or more operations that can be performed on data. The system event handler generates an instance of the identified action by mapping the event parameter values to the required set of parameters. The event handling function is called in an application event handler with the generated instance of the identified action to invoke application code.

Event handling with action instances for event-driven software application

A system and method to provide a data dictionary cache in a distributed system is disclosed. An application server may include a data dictionary broker agent to provide an interface between an underlying data dictionary and an application. The application server may also include one or more data dictionary caches to provide efficient access to frequently requested system information.

Systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer program products, for abstracting rendering logic and automatically generating platform-specific renderers from the abstracted rendering logic for multiple platforms. A platform-independent description of rendering logic for a control is specified. The platform-independent description is used to generate a platform-specific renderer for the control. The platform-specific renderer is operable to be executed on a specific platform to produce code that can be used in rendering the control on a client computer. Some implementations enable code for platform-specific renderers to be generated automatically based on centrally defined rendering logic. Rendering logic can thus be modified once and used to automatically update code and libraries for platform-specific renderers on multiple platforms.
