    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods for displaying multidimensional data in a decomposition tree. The decomposition tree may include a plurality of levels, with the first level including a parent node representing the multidimensional data and the subsequent levels including one or more nodes representing a subset of the data repressed by the parent node along dimensions selected by a user. The decomposition tree may include nodes belonging to the same dimension in different levels of the decomposition tree. A node in the decomposition tree may be split by more than one dimension inside a same subsequent level.

  • Publication number: 20150006979
    Abstract: Techniques for providing an error log include establishing, by a hub computing system, a connection with a back-end computing system, the back-end computing system executing a first computer-implemented programming language; receiving, at the hub computing system, a request for an error log from an Open Data Protocol (OData) application that resides on a mobile communications device, the mobile communications device executing a second computer-implemented programming language different than the first computer-implemented programming language, and the error log including error log entries associated with a runtime processing of a data model; registering, on the hub computing system, the error log as an OData service configured to be provided over an OData channel between the hub computing system and the mobile communications device; and providing, by the hub computing system, the error log to the OData application as the OData service over the OData channel.

  • Publication number: 20150006386
    Abstract: A payment system transmits an authorization token to a mobile device. The authorization token enables the mobile device to create a barcode. The system receives from a point of sale device, in connection with reading the barcode, the authorization token and information relating to a product or service for purchase. The system validates the authorization token, and compares the information relating to the product or service with information associated with a virtual payment account. In response to the comparison, the system either authorizes the purchase or denies the purchase. The system transmits the authorization or denial to the point of sale device, and applies a purchase amount to the virtual payment account.

  • Publication number: 20150006489
    Abstract: Archiving may be integrated into an organization's existing data management systems instead of being configured as a separate system. This integration may occur by adding an archiving table to an existing database of the organization containing data that is to be archived. The archiving table may include multiple records, each record storing a binary large object representing a complete, self-contained archive of the organization's data at a preselected time. Incorporating archiving and archived data into the organization's existing data management systems in this manner may eliminate the need for a dedicated archiving system and may eliminate synchronization and interconnectivity issues with an independent archiving system.

  • Publication number: 20150007026
    Abstract: An access code can be generated by a primary device and interpreted by a secondary device for the purpose of presenting, on the secondary device, additional content related to an application running on the primary device. The access code can be a two dimensional graphic or QR code that can be easily captured by a camera unit of the secondary device. Once captured, additional content related to the running application can be identified and displayed on the secondary device.

  • Patent number: 8924848
    Abstract: A user interface (UI) area having multiple data sources is synchronized based upon changes made to UI elements associated with the UI area. To synchronize the changed UI elements, a processor of the computer determines UI controls and data objects associated with the UI area. Based upon a modification to a data object, a corresponding UI control that is affected by the modification is determined. A synchronization process is triggered to determine updated UI controls and updatable UI controls from the UI controls that are affected by the modification. The UI area is synchronized by updating the updatable UI controls based upon the modification.

  • Patent number: 8924384
    Abstract: Techniques are described in which at least one column is added to a table in a column-based database that has a plurality of columns and table fields. A shadow-in-place upgrade of the column-based database can be performed that adds at least one new column to the database. Thereafter, access to the column-based database can be seamlessly enabled before, during, and after the upgrade through a plurality of views. The views define a subset of the fields in the database that are visible. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

  • Patent number: 8924530
    Abstract: A multi-phase monitoring of hybrid system landscapes is described. Calendar data for planned and unplanned downtimes is generated at a number of computer system environments of a hybrid system landscape. Generated calendar data is requested from a computer system environment hosted by a first entity. Generated calendar data for at least one downtime of at least one component of a computer system environment hosted by a second entity is synchronized with calendar data for at least one downtime of at least one component of the computer system environment hosted by the first entity received in response of the request. Availability of the hybrid system landscape is evaluated based on the synchronized calendar data.

  • Patent number: 8924947
    Abstract: A computerized method and a system for direct deploy of static content. Static content is received at a deployment framework of an application server. The content is forwarded to a content deployment extension (CDE) for implementing the deployment of the content on the applications server. The application server operates in online mode during the deployment. The CDE selects an appropriate content handler to handle the deployment of the content. The content is deployed by the content handler on the application server in online mode. The CDE receive a feedback from the deployment of the static content.

  • Patent number: 8924914
    Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods for an application creation tool (ACT) toolkit are described herein. The ACT toolkit includes a set of application creation APIs and an application creation service for invoking the set of application creation API. An ACT is in communication with the application creation service of the ACT toolkit. The ACT sends an application creation request to the application creation service for creating a UI application. The ACT can be customized by re-defining the application creation service of the ACT toolkit and establishing a communication between the re-defined application creation service and the ACT. The re-defined application creation service invokes the set of API to create a customized application object for the UI application.
