Abstract: An in-memory computing system for conducting on-line transaction processing and on-line analytical processing includes system tables in main memory to store runtime information. A statistics server can access the runtime information to collect monitoring data and generate historical data and other system performance metrics.

Abstract: Systems and methods for advanced management of runtime errors are described herein. Based on a preference, a runtime error manager selects one or more error dumps generated in a computer system landscape. The runtime error manager filters one or more data portions from the selected error dumps. The filtered data portions are supplemented with additional information collected from the nodes of the computer system landscape, or received from external systems. The data portions and the supplemental data are used to assign users responsible to resolve one or more of the logged runtime errors. The data portions and the supplemental information are used to create and send notifications to the responsible users or to instantiate and manage workflows in behalf to the responsible users.

Abstract: In one aspect, there is provided a computer-implemented method. The method may include receiving a description of a web service. A serialization framework may be used to convert the received description to the object model associated with the web service by using a layering of the deserialization process (library and metamodel layers) as well as integrating various registry mechanisms such as QName registry for inter-namespace inter-document declarations, namespace serializer registry, and entity container in the serialization framework. Related systems, apparatus, methods, and/or articles are also described.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for displaying a data set includes: receiving, in a device and from a backend system, a data set with multiple dimensions generated by a query performed on a database, the query stored in the backend system; assigning, to an innermost-dimension area displayed on the device, only member-data pairs of an innermost dimension that are associated with a first member in another dimension; receiving an input that identifies a second member in the other dimension, the input generated with an input control assigned to the other dimension; and in response to the input, instead assigning to the displayed innermost-dimension area only member-data pairs of the innermost dimension that are associated with the second member in the other dimension.

Abstract: Processing proposed changes to data includes notifying a server of a proposed change to master data, receiving, from the server, an indication as to whether there is a concurrent change to the master data, where the concurrent change corresponds to a change to the master data in addition to the proposed change, and deciding whether to make the proposed change or to abort the change.

Abstract: A project management server automatically monitors the progress of an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) project represented by developing business configuration content for the ERP system. The project management server maintains a set of data representing a previous status of the development of business configuration content for the ERP system. The project management server requests a new set of data from the ERP system. The new set of data represents the current status of the development of business configuration content for the ERP system. The project management server automatically compares the two sets of data to determine the progress of the ERP project, generates a report showing the progress and updates the old set of data with the new set of data.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for managing a cluster of servers organized into nodes. A method of one aspect includes establishing a cluster; establishing a set of ultimate identifiers for nodes resulting from splitting in the cluster; and storing every new data object on a node that has a node identifier that identifies a subset of the set of ultimate identifiers, and providing for the object a universal identifier that combines (i) an object identifier that is unique on the node and (ii) a server identifier that is one of the ultimate identifiers in the subset. A method of another aspect includes generating for a new data object a universal identifier that has a node identifier part that uniquely identifies a node, a reserve part generated at least in part as a pseudo-random value, and an object identifier part that uniquely identifies the object in the node.

Abstract: A modeling system for universal specification of user interfaces. The system provides a means for defining user interfaces, including highly complex and dynamic user interfaces, in a manner that is independent of any implementation context. The modeling system leads from a user-friendly visual representation of the user interface, through progressively detailed specifications of structural and behavioral aspects of the user interface parts, until a rigorous definition of the user interface in all its contexts of use is achieved. Using the information captured in the model, tools that automatically generate the fully working user interface code can be built.
