Abstract: Various systems and methods for selective revalidation of data objects are provided. In one example, a computer-implemented method includes updating a target data object of a database system according to a definition statement, and determining whether the definition statement changes one or more object properties of the target data object. In response to determining that the definition statement changes the one or more object properties of the target data object, the method includes revalidating data objects depending on the target data object. In response to determining that the definition statement does not change the one or more object properties of the target data object, the method includes not revalidating the data objects depending on the target data object. In this way, database management performance and speed may be improved while maintaining validity of data objects in a database.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides techniques and solutions for executing requests for database operations involving a remote data source in a system that includes an anchor node and one or more non-anchor nodes. A first request for one or more database operations is received, where at least a first database operation includes a data request for a remote data object. It is determined that the first database operation is not an insert, delete, or update operation, and therefore is assignable to the anchor node or one of the non-anchor nodes. The first database operation is assigned to a non-anchor node for execution. In a particular implementation, for a particular set of requests for a database operation, once an insert, delete, or update operation is received for the remote data object, subsequent operations for the remote data object in the set of requests are assigned to the anchor node for execution.

Abstract: Techniques and solutions are provided for providing federated data access to parameterized data objects. At a local system, a virtual parameterized data object is created. A remote computing system is contacted to obtain parameters used by a parameterized data object of the remote computing system to which the virtual parameterized data object corresponds. Parameter information received from the remote system is stored in a definition of the virtual parameterized data object at the local system. When a request for a database operation involving the virtual parameterized data object is received, the parameter information can be used to determine whether the request is correctly formed, or can be used in preparing a request to be sent to the remote system to be performed using the parameterized data object to obtain information specified in the request for a database operation.

Abstract: Techniques and solutions for defining clusters of data objects are provided. An anchor data object for the cluster is determined. The anchor data object is associated with a semantic concept. Other data objects included in the cluster are also associated with the semantic concept. One or more data objects that are related to the anchor data object are added to the cluster. Additional data objects, related to the one or more other data objects, or to other data objects of the additional data objects, are added to the cluster. The cluster is associated with a name, which can be used to identify data objects that are part of the cluster. The cluster can be used for a variety of purposes, including defining a replication task, for the creation of an application program interface, or for defining a deployment task that deploys at least a portion of cluster data objects.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a program that receives a first set of data and a first greenhouse gas emission value. The program stores, in a cache, the first set of data and the first greenhouse gas emission value. The program receives a second set of data and a second greenhouse gas emission value. The program stores, in the cache, the second set of data and the second greenhouse gas emission value. The program receives a third set of data and a third greenhouse gas emission value.

Abstract: Embodiments may facilitate event processing for an ABAP platform. A business object data store may include a RAP model, including a behavior definition, for a business object. A framework may automatically transform the behavior definition of the RAP model into a producer event vian event binding and a cloud event standardized format. Information about the producer event may then be passed to an ABAP application associated with a pre-configured destination at an enterprise business technology platform. In some embodiments, a standalone API enterprise hub data store may contain an event specification. An ABAP development tenant of a business technology platform may automatically parse the event specification and translate the parsed information into high-level programming language structures that reflect an event type at runtime. An event consumption model may then be generated based on the event type.

Abstract: Embodiments allow a tenant to customize a configuration that is used in accessing an application over the cloud. At a provisioning time, a user accesses a tenant Application Program Interface (API) and creates a customized configuration including a payload that defines particular features to be available from the application. Such features can include but are not limited to available buttons, toolbar options, and pages. During a runtime subsequent to the provisioning, an input to the application (such as a URL) is received from the tenant. Logic is executed to determine whether to apply the custom configuration or another configuration (e.g., default or other predefined) from a list. Based upon the configuration, the application renders output to the user according to the particular features. Particular embodiments may recognize a Line of Business (LoB) parameter of a URL input to the application in order to provide a configurations customized by the tenant.

Abstract: A method may include receiving a selection of a template defining a manner in which data is stored in one or more database tables operated upon by a software application while the software application performs a function. The selected template may be stored in a first database table. Customizations applied to the selected template are stored in a second database table. In response to the software application performing the function, a virtual customizing table may be generated to include a database view having the selected template from the first database table and the customizations from the second database table. The software application may perform the function based on the virtual customization table, which is not persisted at a database but is generated as needed. Related systems and articles of manufacture, including computer program products, are also provided.

Abstract: A request to execute a recurring job is received by a cloud computing environment. Thereafter, available computing resources available to execute the job are determined based on historical resource consumption trends. A resource prediction for the job is then generated using an ensemble model ((S)ARIMA model) that combines an autoregressive moving average (ARMA) model and an autoregressive moving average (ARIMA) prediction models. The resource prediction characterizes resources to be consumed for successfully executing the job. Execution of the job can then be scheduled by the cloud computing environment based on the resource prediction and the available computing resources. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

Abstract: Technologies are described for managing database queries based on bill of materials (BOM). For example, a set of database queries can be optimized (e.g., in terms of time and sequence of execution) based on a BOM explosion. In some implementations, database queries are managed by generating a BOM for an application programming interface (API) call. Various data structures can be created from the BOM, which can comprise procedure information, application and action information, and/or hierarchy information. A logical sequence of execution can be determined based, at least in part, on one or more of the data structures, where the logical sequence of execution comprises a plurality of database queries to execute the API call. The logical sequence of execution can be optimized to produce an optimized sequence of execution. The API call can be executed according to the optimized sequence of execution.

Abstract: In a scenario involving a primary and secondary server, resource requests can be managed to avoid sending multiple requests to the secondary server. In particular, requests for data object attributes can be queued when another request has already been made. Hashkey and locking mechanisms can be used to support scenarios involving multiple users and multiple data object instances. Performance of the overall system landscape can thus be improved by effectively consolidating resource requests.

Abstract: Computer-readable media, methods, and systems are disclosed for handling intermediate data in connection with a database employing group-level encryption. Intermediate data is used during database operation and stored transiently such that the intermediate data is removed from memory upon database restart. To protect the privacy of the intermediate data, a random encryption key may be generated upon startup of a database instance. The random encryption key may be stored transiently. During database operation, the random encryption key may be used to encrypt and/or decrypt the intermediate data. The transient memory may be wiped upon database shut down such that the random encryption key is no longer accessible upon database restart.

Abstract: Transient product master data may be used to represent temporarily used objects and resources. Instead of generating complete master data upfront, a placeholder is used in a tracking document for the temporary use. A tracking document for the temporary use includes a placeholder reference. When the product to be used temporarily is selected and ready to be physically moved, attributes and other information of the product may be sent to a management system via an interface. This information may be used to automatically generate transient material master data that is accessible using a reference. This reference may be used to update the placeholder reference in the tracking document and it may be used in further tracking documents.
