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 an opportunity business object.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing integration of a heterogeneous application landscape are disclosed. The landscape is defined by one or more business process. A business process management system includes an integration server connected between two or more applications in the landscape. The integration server includes a business process engine configured to execute one or more business processes that define message-based interactions between the two or more applications. The business process management system further includes a runtime engine, under direction of the business process engine, for executing one or more messaging services on the message-based interactions between the two or more applications.

Abstract: In an embodiment, an XML data type may be extended with enhancements without creating a new data type. Enhancements to a “base” data type may be made in parallel such that multiple enhanced data types reference the same base data type. The enhanced XML data types can co-exist in XML schema with the base data types and each other without being redundant or conflicting with each other.
