Abstract: Described herein is a technology for facilitating searching and matching of data. In some implementations, an input data string, including one or more ideographic elements, is received and converted to a Latin-based input data string. One or more input keys may be generated based on the Latin-based input data string. A reference database may be searched for one or more candidate records indexed by at least one of the one or more input keys. If the one or more candidate records are found, a match score is determined for the one or more candidate records.

Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods for providing a secure communication are described herein. A client application generates a Distributed Ruby (DRb) request based on a request received from a user. The obtained DRb request is wrapped to obtain an HTTPS request, which includes the DRb request and one or more authentication information. The generated HTTPS request is forwarded to an HTTPS server, which verifies the HTTPS request based on the authentication information. The HTTPS request is then unwrapped to obtain the DRb request, which is executed by a DRb server to obtain a result of execution of the DRb request.

Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods for dynamically weighted semantic trees are described herein. One or more software elements of a hierarchy are identified in response to user actions in a report.

A local tree is constructed for each user by assigning local weights for the one or more software elements based on user visits to the one or more software elements. A group tree is constructed for each group to which the users belong by assigning group weights for the one or more software elements based on the user visits to the one or more software elements. The local tree and the group tree are stored for use in various applications.

Abstract: A system and method for determining a set of visualization points from any given two-dimensional dataset to best describe a given visual analytic. A first user selection is received in a data processing apparatus for a chart. A chart type associated with the first user selection is identified for the chart. One or more visualization strategies are accessed from a strategy pool database based on the chart type. A second user selection is received in the data processing apparatus for a two-dimensional dataset from a data provider in communication with the data processing apparatus. The two-dimensional dataset is analyzed to determine a best strategy from the one or more visualization strategies accessed from the strategy pool database. Metadata representing the two-dimensional dataset is generated based on the best strategy, and a display representing the metadata is generated to visualize the two-dimensional dataset according to the best strategy.

Abstract: A computer readable storage medium includes executable instructions to receive a request for an action. An action context is received where the action context includes an application requesting the action.

Abstract: An adaptive automatic change management for computer system landscapes is described herein. A predefined set of attributes are extracted or obtained for a computer system artifact, together with a number of values assigned to the set of attributes. A unique identification section is created and distributed among the computer systems in the landscape based on the set of attributes and the assigned values, where the unique identification section encompass computer system artifacts of a same kind. A modification of an artifact of the same kind is tracked at a computer system. The tracked modification is automatically applied in the computer system to one or more incoming computer system artifacts of the same kind.

Abstract: A method and a system are described that involve generating a graphical tree hierarchy of a data structure and its accompanying metadata. In one embodiment, the method includes building a graphical tree hierarchy with a plurality of levels, wherein the graphical tree hierarchy includes at least a root node, a plurality of non-leaf nodes, and a plurality of leaf nodes. Further, the method includes aggregating at least a portion of the plurality of non-leaf nodes at a level of the graphical tree hierarchy, if a subset of the plurality of non-leaf nodes residing at the level exceeds a maximum number of nodes per the level. The method also includes scaling down the plurality of leaf nodes, if the plurality of levels of the graphical tree hierarchy exceeds a maximum number of levels.

Abstract: Data read from a database may be transferred to an external system utilizing a dynamic interface, through a remote procedure call (RPC) communication mechanism. In particular embodiments within the SAP environment, data is transferred utilizing an executable program in a high level language such as Advanced Business Application Programming (ABAP). Data may be streamed from the ABAP executable program directly to a Data Services Job engine via a NetWeaver remote function call (NWRFC) C/C++ connector.
