An InfoSet API calls a query, the call defining selections for data retrieval. These selections are passed by the query to a report, which obtains data responsive to the selections via a data source. The obtained data is persisted in a global memory which allows such data to be accessed in multiple sessions. The persisted data is retrieved from the global memory by the query which in turns provides such data in response to the InfoSet API call. Techniques for automatically creating aspects of Infosets are also described as well as other related techniques, apparatus, systems, and articles.

Reuse of business logic of reports as data sources

Systems and methods for defining a form with a plurality of layout items for data presentation by a business application provide a tree view with tree nodes to represent the layout items, wherein the view visualizes structure information, a processing order, a selected tree node to represent a selected layout item; provide a property view to display properties of the selected layout item; provide a layout view to display items, wherein the selected layout item is highlighted; modify the selected layout item and the processing order through interaction with a user; and create a form definition document. The compatibility of layout items and processing order with a predefined data interface of the business application is verified as well.

Defining form formats with layout items that present data of business application

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for maintaining a database, including maintaining a collection of documents containing content, each of the documents including a hyperlink to another document and represented by a unique logical information object (LOIO), each unique LOIO pointing to one or more physical information objects (PHIOs), each of the PHIOs containing a variant of the content of a document, the variant being one of more attributes and determining a suitable PHIO when a LOIO is response to a request.
