  • Publication number: 20230359639
    Abstract: Techniques for implementing enterprise search using database views are disclosed. In some example embodiments, a computer-implemented method comprises: receiving database queries; generating, for each database query, a corresponding database view comprising a result set arranged in one or more fields of a table; storing the corresponding database views of the database queries; generating a corresponding search configuration for each one of the stored database views, the corresponding search configuration indicating the field(s) of the table of the stored database view; storing the corresponding search configurations for the stored database views; receiving an enterprise search query comprising one or more terms entered via a full-text search field; generating search results for the enterprise search query based on the term(s) using the stored search configurations to access data in the field(s) of the tables of the stored database views; and causing the generated search results to be displayed.

  • Patent number: 8612927
    Abstract: A bulk service interface can be instantiated for each of at least one service provider providing a plurality of business objects using a stored definition of a plurality of metadata properties relating to generation of a user interface that incorporates content of a plurality of business objects. The bulk service interface can query the stored definition and access, in a bulk metadata access process, dynamic metadata required for instantiation of the plurality of business objects. If the stored definition has not previously been received, a default bulk services access process that queries an existing dynamic metadata access interface of each of the plurality of business objects can be initiated to retrieve the dynamic metadata from each of the plurality of business objects. An instance of the user interface can be generated using dynamic metadata accessed by the bulk service interface and/or the retrieved by the default bulk services access process.

  • Publication number: 20130166675
    Abstract: A computerized method for accessing business object data stored in a data buffer of a server computer includes providing an application program interface (API) having a function for specifying a set of paths through a business object stored as a data structure in a data buffer of a server computer. Each of the paths included in the set of paths specifies a plurality of nodes of the business object for accessing hosted data at the plurality of nodes. The method further includes receiving a set of parameters for the function of the API. The set of parameters specify the set of paths. The method further includes issuing the set of parameters to the server computer, retrieving hosted data from the plurality of nodes for each path in the set of paths; and transmitting to a client the hosted data retrieved from the plurality of nodes.
