  • Publication number: 20130275475
    Abstract: An information handling system comprises a connection via a network interface for receiving data representing business process data from an integrated business process running at a location, the business process data comprising at least data indicating from where documents are received. The system also comprises a storage device for storing data representing an aggregate of business process data for an integrated business process, and a processor adapted to determine from the aggregate business process data whether the integrated business process running at the location receives documents from an external trading partner that, if the integrated business process receives documents from the external trading partner, then the processor prepares instructions to select an information handling system environment for running the integrated business process having additional disk space or solid state drive resources.

  • Publication number: 20130204884
    Abstract: Profiles associated with two applications are received. Each profile identifies a set of data fields identified by a corresponding full path name. Associations between data fields of the profiles are identified based on mapping pairs included in a full path mapping database, mapping pairs included in a shortest unique path mapping database, and mapping pairs included in a leaf mapping database. A prioritized list of mapping suggestions is provided based on the identified associations. A mapping suggestion can include a data manipulation operation according to information associated with a corresponding mapping pair.

The determining is based on association information and data manipulation operations maintained at a database. The association information and the data manipulation operations are determined based on previously received business process representations.
