The disclosure generally describes methods, software, and systems for cross-application protocols describing integration dependencies. A request is received to synchronize customer data from multiple system instances. The system instances include one or more application programming interfaces. A semantic description of an integration process configured to synchronize the customer data from the plurality of system instances is generated. The semantic description defines integration dependencies between system instances. The integration process is executed to synchronize the customer data from the plurality of system instances to generate synchronized customer data. The synchronized customer data are provided for storage.

Cross-application protocol describing integration dependencies

In an example embodiment, a technique is disclosed to describe generic capabilities in the ORD standard. In addition, this new ORD resource type may be explicitly supported by a Central ORD aggregator (or Central Management Plane), which can be used to discover and retrieve the information centrally. Having a central metadata service also eliminates the need for many point-to-point integrations.

Dynamic plug and play resource discovery

The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for creating an extension field across system tenants in a customer landscape. One example method includes receiving a request to add an extension field to an entity used in a customer landscape. Entity-using system tenants that use the entity are determined. Event-pairing information is provided to each entity-using system tenant to enable receiving of extension field events. Field attribute values for a set of field attributes for the extension field are received. A field creation event is generated that instructs a system tenant receiving the field creation event to create a local field that has a target state of the extension field in that system tenant. The field creation event is sent to each entity-using system tenant.
