Abstract: A software application assists users of a computing device to manipulate a data object displayed on a user interface. The software application may be implemented as a method that may comprise receiving a touch-and-hold operation directed to the data object, and responsive to the touch-and-hold operation, determining whether a time period since beginning of the touch-and-hold operation reaches a predetermined threshold value, when the time period reaches the predetermined threshold value, creating an image of the data object and hovering the image of the data object on top of the data object to indicate it is draggable, and responsive to the image of the data object being dragged into a droppable display area on the user interface, swapping the image of the data object with a user guidance indicating what the image of the data object will look like if released in the droppable display area.

Abstract: Changes to a hierarchical organizational structure may be stored in different versions of a data structure depicting the hierarchical organizational structure. Each of these versions may include a validity period field representing a time period that the hierarchical organizational structure depicted in the version accurately reflects the organizational structure of the organization. Each of the versions may also be designated as active or inactive. In some instances, each of the versions may be designated as inactive except for a version that reflects the organizational structure of the organization at a particular time, which may change over time. Historical copies of versions may be stored and subsequently recalled to identify an organizational structure that was in effect at a particular time in the past. The recalled version may then be used to limit the results of a query to a selected node of the historical organizational structure.

Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods for coordination of collaboration partners are described herein. Data from a plurality of collaboration partners is received during a collaboration process. The collaboration process involves one or more of the collaboration partners at one or more stages of the collaboration process. The data comprises process data relevant to the collaboration process. The received data is stored in one or more collaboration objects. In response to a request from a collaboration partner, a customized view of the one or more collaboration objects is generated and provided to the requesting collaboration partner based on access controls. The customized view includes information about the process data that is allowed to be viewed according to the access controls associated with the requesting collaboration partner.

Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer-implemented methods for controlling service load in a cloud-based system. An example method includes receiving a first request for the network service from a client, evaluating a load condition associated with the network service, the load condition indicating an availability of the network service to receive requests, returning a unique token associated with the first request to the client in response to the load condition indicating that the network service is not available to receive the requests, receiving a second request for the network service from the client, the second request including at least a portion of the first request and the unique token, evaluating the load condition associated with the network service, and prioritizing the second request based on the unique token in response to the load condition indicating that the network service is available to receive the requests.

Abstract: An application binary is received at an intermediate federated service layer before deployment of the application binary at the application store. At the intermediate federated service layer multiple copies of application binaries are generated concurrently. At the intermediate service layer, program code of the copies of application binaries is concurrently parsed and features of copies of application binaries are matched with features of operating system. If the features match, corresponding program codes are flagged to switch off, and re-generated as custom application binary and deployed in application store. The custom application binary and a container along with features corresponding to operating system of a mobile device are downloaded to a mobile device. A request to access a set of features is received from the custom application binary at the container. If the set of features match the features of the operating system request is allowed through the container else it's blocked.

Abstract: Companies provide a set of default personalized dynamic email addresses for both individuals and groups. The embodiments may be implemented as an extension to existing email servers, which are coupled to an existing enterprise information system. When receiving an email sent to a personalized dynamic email address, an address resolver component is used to access the definition of the email address, query for the respective recipient(s), and replace the recipient(s) in the email message. Users have the possibility to define further personalized dynamic email addresses using, for example, a web interface. The embodiments may be smoothly integrated into an existing communication infrastructure of companies without the need to change existing systems.

Abstract: Described herein is a technology for facilitating visualization of multiple hierarchies. In some implementations, a primary hierarchy having primary components arranged in different primary hierarchical levels is provided. A second hierarchy for the primary components of the primary hierarchy is provided. The primary components are configured as geometric objects with concentric zones corresponding to different secondary hierarchical levels with secondary components.

Abstract: Methods and systems for partitioning and dynamically merging a database index are described. A database index includes a single first-level index partition stored in a data cache. As the first-level index partition in the data cache reaches a predetermined size, it is copied to secondary storage and a new index partition is generated in the data cache. When the number of index partitions in secondary storage reaches some predetermined number, the index partitions are merged to create a single index partition of a higher level in a hierarchy of index partitions having an exponentially increasing size with each increase in level within the hierarchy.

Abstract: A service request to execute an operation on a business object is received. Thereafter, a metadata repository is polled to obtain a modeled association corresponding to the service request.
