In some embodiments, there is provided triggering a chat bot session to make a change to a master data entity at a master data store; determining an identity of the master data entity and the master data store associated with the chat bot session by at least extracting context information from an application and/or a user interface; generating, based on the identity of the master data entity and the master data store, a change command to make the change to the master data entity; and sending a change request including the change command to make the change to the master data entity at the master data store. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also disclosed.

Contextual master data entity determination mechanism

Embodiments permit searching across different system landscapes, for data associated with master data objects. A map is constructed comprising (explicit, inferred) connections between different pieces of data located in various databases, systems, and landscapes. In certain embodiments the map is constructed utilizing a parameter (e.g., family name) present in a received query, as a boundary condition. The map may be in tabular form, and may conform to a particular notation scheme. Once the map is constructed, the query is executed thereupon to search for relevant data. The corresponding query result is received and stored, ultimately for communication back to the user posing the original query. Embodiments may be particularly suited to returning private data of a unique entity (e.g., natural person, corporation, juristical person) that is stored over a variety of different master data objects (e.g., employee, customer, supplier) and across complex system landscapes.
