Abstract: A service element is defined and represented by a data structure. It includes one or more components and/or one or more other service elements. A service element providing a complete function is a service offering. Management of service elements and/or service offerings is facilitated by a Service Development Tool. In different aspects, the management includes various tasks associated with creating, modifying and deleting service elements, establishing relationships, error checking and optimization. In a further aspect, service elements are packaged and distributed to enable customers to deliver the service elements. Additionally, the hosting of software packages is facilitated.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for processing a database query by a proxy server that is adapted to communicate with at least one database server. The database servers are respectively coupled to corresponding databases having tables that include a data isolation field pertaining to a group having subgroups. The data isolation field identifies a subgroup. The proxy server receives the query from an application server. The query is a request for data stored one of the databases. The proxy server determines whether the query has a data isolation problem. If the query does not have a data isolation problem, then the proxy server obtains a response to the query from one of the database servers and forwards the response to the application server. Otherwise, the proxy server records that a query error has occurred and returns an error code and/or empty dataset to the application server.

Abstract: Measurement data associated with a service element is obtained and analyzed to determine whether one or more aspects of the service element are to be revised. The data collected may be classified as standard, custom, or ad-hoc. Further, the measurement data can be collected for various areas associated with the service element, and may be maintained within a data structure. In one example, collection and analysis of the measurement data are facilitated by a Service Development Tool.
