Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for simulating business object behavior with a mockup object. In one exemplary embodiment, the method may include receiving a name of the mockup object for which to perform a specified action on, wherein the mockup object comprises one or more nodes, and receiving the action to be performed on the mockup object. The method may also include determining whether the action can be performed on the mockup object based on a set of conditions defining the status of the mockup object, and performing the action based on the determining step.

Abstract: An apparatus and system are disclosed for implementing service qualifiers that define on-demand management requirements for a loosely coupled software service in a service component architecture (SCA) for an integration server by associating a service qualifier with one or more of an SCA service reference, an SCA wire, an SCA interface, or an SCA implementation based on an SCA component definition, requiring the integration server to augment an implementation execution for the SCA service to honor the service qualifier; and accepting user modification and definition of declarative service qualifiers. By allowing the association of service qualifiers with SCA service references, SCA wires, SCA interfaces, and SCA implementations, additional quality of service with which components are executed can be maintained.

Abstract: A dynamic collaboration of processes in a concurrent computing environment is disclosed. A user can modify the size of collaboration or the number of processes that execute a computational job after the processes have been launched on the concurrent computing environment. A launched or running process can establish a communication channel with other processes in the collaboration so that the launched or running process can join the collaboration to execute the job. The user can also release a process from the collaboration so the released process can join a new collaboration to execute a different job. Once a job is completed, the processes can leave the collaboration, and the processes are then free to join a new collaboration subsequently.
