Abstract: A request for at least a portion of a business object is received by a database from a client in a first half of a roundtrip between the client and the database. Each of the tables includes a primary key column and a plurality of records. The primary key column provides, for each record in the table, a primary key for one of a plurality of business objects. Thereafter, the database identifies records within a set of tables among a larger number of tables in the database by matching a primary key associated with the business object with the primary key in the primary key column. Once this identification has been made, the database obtains all values responsive to the request from the identified record and transmits, in a second half of the roundtrip between the client and the database, the obtained values for the business object to the client.

Abstract: A system and method for securely displaying to a user images retrieved from an external image source. Upon the request for a product catalog by the user via a user interface a backend retrieves images for the product catalog from external image sources and converts the retrieved images to render inoperable potentially malicious code embedded in the images. The converted images may then be used in the product catalog displayed to the user via the user interface. In an embodiment, the frontend compiles the product catalog and requests images from the backend. Product catalog information may be stored in a database implemented at the backend.

The computer system can include a basis module configured to define at the shadow system a shadow basis database related to start functionality of the shadow system. The computer system can also include a downtime execution module configured to trigger the shadow system to change from a downstate to an upstate based on a combination of data included in the shadow basis database and the data of the shadow program database.

Abstract: The system, method and machine-readable medium that provides an efficient presentation of a hierarchical table by providing an accurate summation of table line values when the table is expanded and collapsed.

Abstract: A more tailored and flexible update schedule is provided for large enterprise software development and delivery through mini-releases. Instead of delivering update packages after a development and delivery period, e.g., 18 months, where the update packages include an update release for the entire software package, the software package may be broken down into component parts. Mini-releases may then be issued several times during the same delivery period (e.g., 18 months). Each mini-release may include a small subset of the component parts to be focused on, allowing greater flexibility, without greatly increasing code release efforts (e.g., as required by releasing the whole software suite in an update).

Abstract: In an object development environment, source objects in a structured hierarchy are mapped to one or more target objects, also in a structured hierarchy. Dual view user interfaces with connection mapping tools may be provided to facilitate creation, deletion and maintenance of these mappings. The invention includes an improvement by providing a context menu as a fly-out menu from a particular object. The context menu may include global functions and a list of connected objects, each with supplemental object-specific functions.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention may provide a system and method for business data provisioning for a pre-emptive security audit. In one aspect, a method embodiment may comprise the steps of identifying the business resources as expressed in business terms, ensuring that applications dealing with (parts of) the business resources are aware of the link to the resource, transmitting the information about the used business resources throughout the call stack up to the UI, making use of the highest access enforcement point possible where it can be ensured that access to the protected resource is only done through either authorized users or trusted code, and having this access enforcement point taken over by a framework to ensure adequate protection even in extensibility scenarios.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to executing transformation rules. In some implementations, a method includes receiving a request to apply a predefined transformation rule to a portion of a service. In response to at least the request, the predefined transformation rule is identified from a plurality of predefined transformation rules included in a business model. Each of the plurality of predefined transformation rules are configured to update at least one service independent of generating code in a service layer. The predefined transformation rule is assigned to the portion of the service.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention may provide a system and method for providing real time analytics and reporting across networked applications. The real time analytics and reporting across networked applications may be provided by extending the reporting metadata and the corresponding design- and runtime-tools. Based on a cross NWAs MDAV-Definition, the corresponding metadata (subview and subquery definitions) may be generated and assigned to the corresponding NWA-Layer (NWA software component). At deployment and configuration time, the relevant views may be activated depending availability of underlying data. At runtime, an MDAV executer (e.g., a MDAV runtime engine) may run a distributed and optimized provisioning of reporting and analytics data. The data provisioning scheme may depend on selection parameters, filters, join conditions between parts in different NWAs, analytical functions defined in the report, and the locality of the data (local or remote).

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for providing a stateful computer application to a multitude of users. The method may comprise generating a session identification (e.g., a primary key) for a user session for one user and retrieving a state representation using the session identification. The state of the stateful computer application may be described by a set of user-specific session variables that may be reconstructed from information contained in the state representation. The method may further comprise restoring the set of user-specific session variables using the retrieved state representation and calling functional computing logic based thereon. The functional computing logic may comprise the code of the stateful computer application and the call may provide an updated set of user-specific session variables. Upon completion of functions performed by the called functional computing logic, an updated state representation may be assembled from the updated set of user-specific session variables and stored.
