Reporting data from multiple data sources is extracted and mapped to a common language reporting. The mapped reporting data is correlated to elements of system models. Visualization options to present the mapped reporting data correlated to the system models are identified. The mapped reporting data is presented according to the visualization options in response to receiving a request for reporting data.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to enrichment of a data warehouse utilizing a business compendium. Embodiments may employ a process comprising data standardization and cleansing, de-duplication of entries, and matching and enrichment, followed by manual review of an enriched record by a user. During standardization, data may be transformed into consistent content, placing correct data elements into appropriate fields, removing invalid characters, and/or standardizing names and addresses. Duplicate records are then detected and marked. During matching and enrichment, the existence of an entity (such as a supplier), may be verified by progressive matching against the business compendium. Enrichment may provide additional information regarding the entity (e.g. related to risk, diversity, and bankruptcy). The enriched record is available for manual review, allowing the user to change duplicates, matches, and parent/child linkages.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods, systems, and computer program products for generating matrix menus. One computer-program product includes computer-readable instructions embodied on tangible non-transitory media and configured when executed to generate an array of a number of navigation items arranged into a number of columns and rows. In response to a selection of one of the number of navigating items, a navigation list operable to launch at least one application associated with the navigation list is generated. In response to a selection of one of the application associated with the navigation list, the application can be executed.

Abstract: The disclosure generally describes computer-implemented methods, software, and systems for modeling and deploying decision services. One computer-implemented method includes operations for identifying a sequence number of a first message, the sequence number indicating a position of the first message within a first sequence of messages. If a second message positioned prior to the first message in the first sequence is in a final processing state and the second message in the first sequence is a parent message, a plurality of child messages associated with the second message are identified. Each child message is associated with a sequence number indicating a position of the child message within a second sequence associated with the plurality of child messages. The computer-implemented method determines whether a child message positioned at the end of the second sequence is in a final processing state.

Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure are directed to statically checking conformance of a computer-implemented service at a source code level to requirements specified at a process level and include actions of receiving source code of the computer-implemented service, receiving one or more rules, the one or more rules being generated based on a mapping and including a set of technical requirements that can be checked on the source code level, the mapping associating the requirements with the source code, and processing the source code and the one or more rules using static code analysis (SCA) to generate a result, the result indicating whether the computer-implemented service conforms to the requirements.

Abstract: A system and method are described herein that provide for saving retrieved business objects locally in a calendar application of a local device for access during an offline mode. Business objects may be retrieved from the backend system, whereupon a plurality of actions are performed upon the retrieved business objects, such as performing searches or viewing related analytics. Detail information about the business objects, such as business object attributes and corresponding analytics are stored locally in the memory of the mobile device running the application. This is enabled by a save feature which triggers the downloading of all related information from a backend system and saving locally on the mobile device. A user may subsequently access the saved business data in environments where there is no online connectivity.
