Abstract: In accordance with aspects of the disclosure, a system and methods are provided for managing business objects in memory. The system and methods may be provided for defining a context of one or more input parameters of data used to determine one or more properties of one or more business objects, defining one or more rules associated with the one or more properties of each business object, and generating a metadata model for each business object based on the context of the one or more input parameters of each business object and the one or more rules associated with the one or more properties of each business object.

Abstract: An initiative object corresponding to an organization decision to explore a topic is defined, and a first goal definition and a first skills definition for the initiative object are defined. A project object corresponding to a project undertaken by the organization is defined, the project associated with exploring the topic, and a second goal definition and a second skills definition for the project object are defined. Employees are searched in an employee skills database using at least one of the first or second skills definitions, and assigned to the initiative object and to the project object, wherein the project object, but not the initiative object, affects employee availability. Upon closing the initiative object or project object, a skills record is updated using the first or second skills definitions; and upon closing the initiative object or project object, a performance record is updated using the first or second goal definitions.

Abstract: A business object model, which reflects data that is used during a given business transaction, is utilized to generate interfaces. This business object model facilitates commercial transactions by providing consistent interfaces that are suitable for use across industries, across businesses, and across different departments within a business during a business transaction. In some operations, software creates, updates, or otherwise processes information related to a customer transaction document template and a customer transaction document view of project business object.

Abstract: This disclosure involves dynamic business object properties for Enterprise Service Architecture (ESA) or other Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) architectures. For example, a method for dynamically modifying an interface in a SOA can comprise receiving a request for an interface associated with a business object, where the interface includes a plurality of fields configured to receive information from a client. The method can further identify current values of one or more attributes associated with the business object and dynamically modify at least one of the fields of the interface based, at least in part, on one or more of the current values.

Abstract: This disclosure involves back-end field control of layered software. For example, a method for providing back-end field control of an interface can comprise receiving a request to update one or more attributes of a business object, where the request is associated with a first software layer. The method then identifies one or more additional software layers associated with the business object and determines whether the request can update to the one or more attributes violate settings of the one or more attributes associated with the one or more additional software layers.
