Abstract: A collaboration platform employs collaboration objects to automatically construct virtual groupings of individuals sharing a common interest, thereby promoting collaboration. The collaboration platform includes a collaboration engine in communication with business object(s) (e.g. a purchase order document) of an application layer. Based upon masterdata (e.g. a product name) compiled from the business object(s), the collaboration engine creates collaboration object data structures that include information relevant to collaboration. Such collaboration objects may link particular individuals to relevant masterdata. According to one example, an engineer creates a new bill of material in the system which includes a specific product. This product is subject of a purchasing order created by purchasing agent. From the collaboration object(s), the collaboration engine may automatically construct virtual groupings of individuals (e.g. the engineer and the purchasing agent) sharing a common interest (e.g.

Abstract: Server loads can be reduced while improving the experience for a user of a web application in which one or more images are produced at a server and transmitted over a communication channel to a client device. In some examples, navigation by a user to an application page that contains an image or other content resource that requires generation by a backend server but that might not immediately interest the user can involve an asynchronous download of the content resource to the client machine. In some variations, the asynchronous download can occur after a user input requesting an updating of the content resource initially displayed based on a cached resource.

Abstract: Various systems and methods for dynamic bytecode modification of classes and class hierarchies are described herein. In various embodiments, a Java® agent is received at a launch of a Java® Virtual Machine (JVM®), the agent implementing a premain method, the premain method accepting a reference to an instrumentation instance. The instrumentation reference is then stored, a deployment container is initialized, and, within the deployment container, an instance of an application is created. The instrumentation reference is then provided to the application instance. A class transformer is then retrieved from a persistence provider, and the class transformer is wrapped by an O.R. Persistence Container Class Transformer, which is then registered with the instrumentation instance. A class to be transformed is passed to the class transformer, which dynamically modifies the bytecode of the class before the class is loaded by the JVM®.

One or more data records are received from one or more enterprise databases. The data quality metrics of the one or more data records based on the set of rules for calculating data quality metrics is calculated. Based on the calculated data quality metrics and rules for triggering workflow, a determination is made regarding whether to trigger one or more workflow processes: and, if so, triggering the one or more workflow processes; and/or converting the calculated data quality metrics to a representation for display.

Abstract: An additional data structure can be initialized for a column of compressed data to include a prefix storing, for each block of values in the column, a total number of bits set in previous blocks in the bit vector. A block number can be determined for a target block of the plurality of blocks, for example by checking whether or not a specified row number is located in the prefix. If the specified row number is located in the prefix, the prefix value of the prefix is returned, the most frequently occurring value is returned if a corresponding bit in the bit vector in the specified row number is not located in the prefix, or a position of the specified row in an index vector for the column is returned.

Abstract: A system and method for parallel processing of semantically grouped data in data warehouse environments is disclosed. A datastore object having a number of records is generated in a data warehouse application. A hash value is added to each record. The hash value has an integer domain, and is uniformly distributed over the integer domain across the datastore object. A selection table is generated to create a number of tasks based on discrete ranges of the hash value. Then, a transformation routine is executed on each of the number of tasks in parallel to generate an infocube of data that corresponds to each range of the discrete ranges of the hash value.

A server can retrieve a list of underlying business object nodes required for presentation of an organization-specific user interface corresponding to an organization from which a call for an instance of the organization-specific user interface is received at the server. A portal business object that matches a structure of the organization-specific user interface can be created that includes one portal business object node corresponding to each user interface element of a structure of the organization-specific user interface. Access to the portal business object can be provided for a user interface model that creates the organization-specific user interface by calling the underlying business object nodes according to the portal business object. Related articles, systems, and the like are disclosed as well.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses enable fast business process test case composition. Instead of the labor intensive and error-prone manual test case composition of previous systems, a group of one or more test agents enables creation of a business process test based on monitoring a business process application. The test agents monitor a backend interface of the business process application that interfaces the application with a backend enterprise system. The test agents generate business process test components and an ordering for the business process test components based on the monitoring. From the test components and the monitoring, the test agents create a business process test. The entire creation process can be performed with little to no user interaction.

The keys and the graphical display data are transmitted to the user device. A selection of at least one of the identifier keys is received from the user device. In response to receiving the selection, the at least one available timeslot corresponding to the selection is determined and forwarded to the scheduling system to reserve the at least one corresponding available timeslot.

Abstract: In an embodiment, the compiler infrastructure allows execution of multidimensional analytical metadata from various databases by providing a generic transformation. A compilation request to execute a multidimensional analytical metadata is received. A type of the compilation request is determined to identify an associated transformation and corresponding transformation rules. Based upon the type of compilation request, a database of an application server is queried to retrieve the corresponding multidimensional analytical metadata. Based upon the identified transformation rules, the multidimensional analytical metadata is transformed into a generic metadata that is executable by any desired engine. An instance of a calculation scenario is generated based upon the transformation. The compiler infrastructure is generated by deploying the instance of the calculation scenario in the desired engine (e.g. in-memory computing engine.
