Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for providing value help. In one aspect, there is provided a computer-implemented method. The method may include receiving, at a code list provider, a request from a user interface for code list value help; determining, based on the request, whether to access at least one of a cache and a secondary storage; accessing, by the code list provider, a cache including at least a first code list, the cache implemented in memory, when the determination results in access to the cache; accessing a secondary storage including at least a second code list, when the determination results in access to the secondary storage; and sending, by the code list provider, at least one of the first code list and the second code list to a user interface to enable the user interface to provide code list value help. Related apparatus, systems, methods, and articles are also described.

Practical code list cache for value help

The present subject mater relates to testing software application configurations and, more particularly, to a test engine. The various embodiments described and illustrated herein provide systems, methods, and software that maintain a configuration database in a memory, wherein the configuration database includes a representation of configuration settings of an application. Some such embodiments may further store a test engine module in the memory, wherein the test engine module includes a set of test cases, which when processed, test functionality of the application, wherein a test case is selected for execution as a function of one or more application configuration setting representations from the configuration database.

Test engine

The present subject matter relates to configuring computer systems and, more particularly, to a computer system configuration deduction engine. Various systems, methods, and software are described. Some embodiments include determining a scoping question to ask as a function of a response to one or more other scoping questions, wherein possible responses to one or more scoping questions are associated with one or more application configuration packages. Some such embodiments further include selecting one or more application configuration packages for deployment as a function of one or more received scoping question responses.

Deduction engine to determine what configuration management scoping questions to ask a user based on responses to one or more previous questions

A method and system to permit externally created business objects to access a business management application database without using direct database language statements. An add-on framework includes an add-on extension manager to start an add-on application, register a form from the add-on application, and receive and route an event from the business management application to the add-on application through a user interface application programming interface component object model interface. A persistency layer provides a set of programming language classes and interface definitions to develop a persistent business object in the add-on extension, and connect the persistent business object to a database through a data interface application programming interface component object model interface to read and write data from the database associated with the business management application.

System and method for providing access to an application through a common interface for application extensions

The present invention pertains to an enterprise-wide enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, and in particular, to methods and systems for interfacing the enterprise-wide ERP system with ERP systems at subsidiary organizations. In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a method includes connecting to an enterprise data management system through a data base server, a web service and a data interface application programming interface (API) in a remote data system and through a data mapping component and an intermediate documents (IDOC) adapter in a data exchange interface using simple object address protocol (SOAP) messages and extensible markup language (XML) messages.
