The method includes forwarding a set checkout instruction from the backend system to the payment service provider with first information about the transaction. The method includes redirecting the user application from the frontend system to the payment service provider. The method includes receiving a finalize payment instruction in the backend system from the frontend system after redirecting the user application from the frontend system. The method includes forwarding, in response to the finalize payment instruction, a perform checkout instruction from the backend system to the payment service provider with second information about the transaction.

  • Patent number: 7756908
    Abstract: A method to be performed in a database analysis tool includes displaying selected contents of a database table in a database analysis tool being executed in a computer system. A user's selection of a portion of the selected contents is received. The portion contains information that identifies an object associated with an application program in the computer system. The method includes automatically causing the application program to perform a predefined action with regard to the object. A computer system includes a repository with at least one database table, an application program configured to perform a predefined action with regard to an object, and a database analysis tool configured to display selected contents of the database table. Upon a user selecting a portion of the selected contents containing information that identifies the object, the database analysis tool causes the application program to perform the predefined action with regard to the object.

  • Publication number: 20040210468
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a system and method of managing a plurality of sales territories. In one embodiment, leaf nodes may be associated with sales territories such that each leaf node is associated with one of the sales territories. The leaf nodes may be located in a hierarchy of nodes. Each higher node in the hierarchy may be associated with at least one of the leaf nodes and may represent the sales territory of such leaf node. A first attribute may be associated with a first one of the leaf nodes. The first attribute may relate to the sales territory that is associated with the first leaf node. A second attribute and a request to identify a sales territory that is associated with the second attribute may be received. The leaf nodes may be searched for the second attribute without inheriting attributes from the higher nodes in the hierarchy. The sales territory associated with a leaf node having the second attribute may be identified.
