Abstract: According to some embodiments, a selection of a pre-determined user interface element type from a plurality of potential types is received from a user. An input rating value to be associated with a user interface element of the selected type may be received from the designer. The user interface element may, for example, receive data content in a graphical user interface. A pre-determined condition to be associated with the user interface element may also be received from the design. A user interface element may then be created to receive data content in the graphical user interface. According to some embodiments, it may be automatically determined if data content received from a user via the user interface element satisfies the pre-determined condition. Based on the determination, the input rating value may be automatically applied to a user input rating score associated with the graphical user interface.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method comprises receiving a query. A data store stores data as a plurality of data sets. Each data set comprises a plurality of fields and a plurality of data elements. Each field is associated with a portion of data elements. The query identifies selected data sets and selected properties of the selected data sets. For each selected property, the data elements of the selected data sets associated with each selected property are determined. A first rating of the determined data elements of the selected data sets is determined based on a type of combination of a pair of selected data sets. For the selected data set pairs, a second rating of the pair is determined based on the first ratings for the selected properties. A model of a combination of the selected data sets is generated based on the second rating.

Abstract: A new query language can be embedded in a business application programming language (e.g., the ABAP language). A query language consistent with implementations of the current subject matter can be based on a graph data-model of connected business objects (BO) or other data objects and can be designed as an efficient query language embedded into the business application programming language runtime, thereby allowing expression of business logic in a declarative manner.

A system provides for testing a computer application function by analyzing a testing characteristic of the computer application function information. Based on the analysis of the testing characteristic, the computer application function may be activated for testing in any one of a plurality of test environments. The test environment is selected according to the testing characteristic that indicates the effects that the testing of the selected computer application has on the test environment. This allows users to select a test environment based on the effects that it has on a test system.

Abstract: A plurality of transactions in a data storage application are executed during which log entries according to the plurality of transactions are stored in a plurality of log buffers. The log entries are sequentially written into a current log buffer and the plurality of log buffers are written to a plurality of log partitions according to a round-robin distribution. Thereafter, in response to a data recovery event, a sequential list of the log entries in the log buffers are assembled to generate a log that can be used for data recovery by the data storage application. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

Abstract: Methods, computer-readable media, and systems for managing business objects data sources. A search query that includes multiple query terms is received. Each query term at least partially represents metadata associated with one of multiple business objects data sources that each stores multiple data items. Multiple search index documents are searched to identify one or more business objects data sources that are each associated with metadata at least partially represented by each query term. Multiple metadata tables are searched to identify metadata associated with each identified business objects data source. The identified business objects data sources are searched for data items that satisfy the identified metadata. Representations of the data items and the metadata are provided in response to receiving the search query.

Abstract: Various embodiments include systems, methods, and software that leverage shared binary storage for several purposes. Such purposes, in some embodiments, include reduced deployment overhead in terms of data to transport, time to instantiate, and reduction, if not elimination, of redundancies and conflicts of and between software system components and configurations, such as by sharing single instances of binary files persisted in deployment units and avoiding duplicates thereof. In some such embodiments, deployment units of a software system, such as an ERP or other enterprise-class software system, are stored in a system database or other central data storage entity. In response to a request to instantiate a system based on the deployment units, the deployment units are staged in memory, metadata to facilitate deployment on a server is written, the deployment units and metadata are transmitted to each server to which deployment is requested, and the deployed system is started.

Abstract: A distributed system for administration and storage of data includes a data manager to access a local data store. Several data managers can be chained to form a layered hierarchical structure. All data layers are merged top down to form the resultant data records. Fields can be modified or added in each layer. The system is self organizing in that each data layer only knows about its superordinate data layer. The system provides scalable persistent data storage with centralized data management and the option to locally extend and modify data.

Abstract: A computer system can include a database comparator configured to identify a first database object from an original system for a complete modification based on a comparison of the first database object with a plurality of target upgrade database objects, and configured to identify a second database object from the original system for a partial modification based on a comparison of the second database object with the plurality of target upgrade database objects. A complete modification module can be configured to designate, in response to the identification of the first database object, the first database object for the complete modification based on an incremental conversion process. A partial modification module can be configured to designate the second database object for the partial modification based on the incremental conversion process when an instruction to implement the partial modification satisfies at least a portion of a modification condition.

Abstract: The development of automated tests that span end-to-end business processes, such as may be executed in part by each of multiple Enterprise Resource Planning systems, is a very complex activity. Beside expert know-how of various tools, such end-to-end business process testing requires various test automation tools to cover complex business processes to provide automated tests. Various embodiments herein are built on an approach for building and connecting automated end-to-end tests that combines test scripts from multiple test tools. These embodiments include functionality to assemble test scripts from multiple test tools into a single, composite test script that allows passing of information between the test scripts during performance of an end-to-end automated process test. These and other embodiments are illustrated and described herein.
