Abstract: A method of processing binary data for transmission from a first computing system to one or more other computing systems within a character-based data file is provided. The method comprises receiving, at the first computing system, a binary data string to be stored within the character-based data file. At least a portion of the binary data string represents data other than character data. The method further comprises encoding, using an encoding module of the first computing system the binary data string using a codepage-independent encoding scheme. The encoding module is implemented using instructions that are executable by one or more processors and stored in one or more computer-readable media. The method further comprises storing the encoded binary data string in one or more of a plurality of data segments of the character-based data file. The character-based data file is configured such that all data stored in the plurality of data segments is indicated as representing character data.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, a system and method for a parallel join of relational data tables may be provided by calculating, by a plurality of concurrently executing execution threads, hash values for join columns of a first input table and a second input table; storing the calculated hash values in a set of disjoint thread-local hash maps for each of the first input table and the second input table; merging the set of thread-local hash maps of the first input table, by a second plurality of execution threads operating concurrently, to produce a set of merged hash maps; comparing each entry of the merged hash maps to each entry of the set of thread-local hash maps for the second input table to determine whether there is a match, according to a join type; and generating an output table including matches as determined by the comparing.

Abstract: Among other disclosed subject matter, a computer program product is tangibly embodied in a computer-readable storage medium and includes instructions that when executed by a processor perform a method for interfacing with an application program. The method includes receiving, from an application program that has an interface, an interface description defining how to make an input into the application program using the interface. The method includes generating a screen for a user to define a step corresponding to a task to be performed in the application program by another user, the screen generated using the interface description. The method includes forwarding a step description for receipt by the application program, the step description created using a definition made under guidance of the screen, and configured consistently with the interface for the application program to create the task.

In some operations, software creates, updates, or otherwise processes information related to a business document message monitoring view, a customs arrangement, and/or a freight list business object.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for providing value help. In one aspect, there is provided a computer-implemented method. The method may include receiving, from a user interface, an input. Based on the received input, one or more fields may be determined from a plurality of columns of a table of a database. The determined one or more fields may be provided to the user interface for presentation as a value help to the input being presented at the user interface. Related apparatus, systems, methods, and articles are also described.

Abstract: When a set of screen elements are identified as a family a bounded extent is placed around the identified elements. Items can be automatically grouped based on their association with a set of data defined in a DBMS as a family, for example. When one of the elements within the group is moved, the extent automatically resizes to a new geometry that fits around each of the elements within the group. If an element within the group is moved against the extent and then extended beyond the boundaries of the extent, the extent automatically resizes to cover a bigger area; if an element within the group that is against the extent is moved inside the boundary of the extent, the extent automatically resizes to cover a smaller area. It is possible to nest a set of these extensible groups within a single extensible group thereby providing maximum flexibility while still maintaining optimal flexibility.

Abstract: Various implementations are disclosed for routing messages according to a routing order, where sequences (e.g., sub-sections or subsets) of the routing order are progressively and/or iteratively resolved during a run-time of the message routing operation(s). The resolution of a sequence may involve determining identity information of recipients that were previously only described within the sequence in relation to one another, in relation to the group, or in relation to a type of routing order. Further, the resolution(s) of the sequences may depend at least in part on responses received from recipients of the message during execution of earlier (resolved) sequences of the message routing operations. In this way, message routing may occur dynamically, so that, for example, new recipients may be added, or a (new) message order may otherwise be realized or implemented, during the run-time of the routing operation.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for managing bundle pricing of services. In one implementation, a system comprises a database for storing master contracts and billing customizing tables. The master contracts refer to the data of the billing customizing tables by means of result and condition attributes. This has the advantage that a modification of the billing customizing data, such as for the purpose of changing the bundle pricing scheme for the master contracts, does not require storage of the updated data in the database.
