  • Publication number: 20150120945
    Abstract: Systems and methods for instantiating new web UI sessions and web UI agents using push channels are disclosed. When a new web UI session is created in an application server in response to a function request from an existing web UI agent, its network address is pushed to the existing web UI agent to create a new web UI agent. The new web UI agent can then be attached to the new web UI session using the address provided to the existing web UI agent. To push the network address to the original web UI agent, a dedicated bi-directional network connection is established between the existing web UI agent and an application push channel session. The new web UI session can push its address to the existing web UI agent through an AMC.

  • Publication number: 20150121058
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method determines real-time information regarding changes to input data used to run an optimization. The optimization is run using a first computing system to generate a first optimization result within a first time window and the first computing system is configured to run the optimization periodically within subsequent time windows. The method determines when the changes to the input data indicate the optimization should be rerun. When the optimization should be rerun, the method causes a re-running of the optimization after the time window ends using a second computing system different from the first computing system. The re-running of the optimization using the changes and generating a second optimization result before a next time window for the first computing system to periodically run the optimization starts.

  • Publication number: 20150120635
    Abstract: Particular embodiments store a business object attachment in a specific storage location associated with a business object. In this embodiment a computer receives an attachment for the business object along with information regarding the business object. The information regarding the business object may include a business object identifier and a business object type identifier. With this information, the computer defines routing attribute fields for the attachment. Using the routing attribute fields and the business object type identifier, the computer calculates a target content repository and a target path for the attachment. The computer then determines which content management system contains the target repository and interfaces with that target content management system to direct that content management system to store the attachment in the target repository at the target path.

  • Publication number: 20150120809
    Abstract: A kernel provides a mechanism allowing various applications (e.g. CRM, logistics, procurement, etc.) hosted on a plurality of different application servers, to share access to a common underlying system (e.g. database). An automated process for implementing a kernel change (e.g. for upgrade or replacement) may employ a “Stop-the-World” approach involving suspension of application server instances, coordinated by the start service of the last application server whose kernel is to be changed. As used herein, suspending refers to halting any processing prior to calling a central service (CS) as long as a CS instance is unavailable, and then to resuming processing once the CS instance becomes available. This suspension of relevant clients avoids errors from arising during the downtime of the CS instance. Once the application server instances are in a stopped state, the CS instance is restarted. Then, the application server instances are resumed, and their kernels are changed.

  • Publication number: 20150116363
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to a mobile device user interface (UI), which includes a dynamic orientation display. Based upon inputs to the mobile device, the user interface is configured to orient the display in a particular manner. For example, the nature of the dynamic display may be determined in part, based upon an input (e.g. from level sensors) indicating a physical orientation of the mobile device. Display may further be determined by additional inputs, for example a setting) locking a display changed according to position, or determining a responsiveness/speed of updating the display in response to changed position. The dynamic display according to embodiments can affect a variety of display attributes, including but not limited to the position/shape of individual display elements (e.g. images, text elements), as well as groupings of those display elements (e.g. within a tile). Physical orientation of the device may also determine an identity of information displayed.
