A system includes a portal connected to user interface (UI) components, application logic linking the UI components to a repository layer and connectivity layer through an object access layer, and source systems linked to the repository layer and the connectivity layer.

Restructuring integration system

In a computer system () that launches application services for predetermined roles, a service-to-role assignment is customized in a target table. The user inserts a CD-ROM with master and reference tables, and the system automatically provides the target table. The master table () stores a first assignment () of application services (S,-) to roles (RO), and stores a second assignment () of service attributes (SA), such as language or industry branch, of the application services (S). The reference table () stores reference attributes (REA) for each application service (S) in the master table. The service representations for each role (RO) are forwarded from the master table () into the target table () if service and reference attributes match.

Method, computer program product and article of manufacture for providing service-to-role assignment to launch application services in role-based computer system

A role-based computer system has a first processor with a computer program () and has further processors with application systems (Sy, Sy, Sy) and application services (Se). The program generates a start instruction for the further processors to execute the services by consecutively receiving a log-in identification from the user and looking up in a first assignment table () for a role (Ro), looking up in a second assignment table () to determine logical services (LSe) assigned to the role; and looking up in a second assignment table to determine a pointer (P(Sy/Se)) to the services (Se) that are assigned to the logical service. The pointer has first and second portions to identify the application system (Sy) and the application service (Se), respectively, and becomes part of the start instruction ().

Computer program product method and computer in role-based application systems

The present invention discloses a method, computer program product and system for adjusting roles in a computer system () that launch application services (-) by a first user who is assigned to at least one role. A first role () calls a second role () by reference (). Both roles comprise representations of applications services () and (). When representations in the second role are modified, for example, application services are added (), a delta list () for the first reference is automatically created to conditionally prevent the first role () from referencing to at least some of the modified representations of the second role (). This is achieved by using a rule database () containing rules about application services that are mutually exclusive and checking for conflicts between the representations of the first role and modified, second role. A second user, e.g. a system administrator, can accept or reject automatically created delta entries () in the delta list ().

Method computer program product and computer system for modifying roles that trigger application services

A method includes storing a plurality of role data entries on a storage device coupled to a computer system, each role data entry corresponding to an assigned role of at least one of a plurality of individuals, each role corresponding to an enterprise with which the individual is associated and corresponding to a set of resources accessible through the computer system, receiving at the computer a resource request from one of the individuals, determining whether the requested resource is included in the set of accessible resources corresponding to the assigned role of the requesting individual, and selectively permitting access to the requested resource if the resource is determined to be in the set of resources corresponding to the assigned role of the requesting individual.
