Abstract: A system modeler may provide a framework for the development of business applications using object oriented concepts. The framework may expose selected attributes of these classes through a Graphical Presentation Interface. When a Graphical Presentation Interface is defined for a class, System Modeler may automatically generate a project containing the corresponding DataModels that can be used by Client Application developers in a variety of Client technologies. The generated DataModels may be synchronized with any changes made to the class definitions in System Modeler. When an attribute is modified in the System Modeler class, then the change will automatically filter through to the corresponding DataModels used by the Client Application.

Abstract: Deployment packages for applications may be created automatically to deploy unique instances of an application for execution on a computer system. The deployment packages may be created by copying an original deployment package to a new deployment package and modifying properties, attributes, and/or values within the new deployment package. The modified parameters may include a globally-unique identifier (GUID). The modifications to the new deployment package may be performed automatically without access to source code for the application in the original deployment package. The new deployment package may be deployed on a computer system to install a unique instance of the application. Automatic creation of deployment packages may be useful for testing multiple copies of an application in parallel on a computer system.

Abstract: A system modeler may provide a framework for the development of business applications using object oriented concepts. The system modeler may also be configured to convert business suite solutions. For example, a system modeler may be configured to retrieve, by a processor, a model database comprising presentation information and layout information associated with a client application, wherein the presentation information and layout information associated with the client application are stored in the model database. Additionally, the system modeler may be configured to convert, by the processor, the retrieved model database to a software framework model and one or more client application projects, wherein the software framework model and the one or more client application projects are generated based, at least in part, on the retrieved model database, and wherein the presentation information and layout information associated with the client application are stored in the one or more client application projects.
