The business object includes at least one data type and the at least one interface operation of the WSDL file. The business object is configured to expose web service functionality of the web service in an integrated manner within a business object based application environment. Generating the business object includes converting the at least one data type to a format consistent with the business object based application environment, creating at least one business object node of the business object that corresponds to each interface operation of the WSDL file, the at least one business object node being based on the at least one message, and creating a node action for the at least one business object node, the node action corresponding to the at least one interface operation.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method tracks users' operation of individual components of a business application over time and stores tracking data on ways in which different users operate individual components of the business application in a user history database. The method further includes evaluating the stored tracking data in the user history database to determine each user's knowledge and proficiency in operating a particular component of the business application, and accordingly, assigning a proficiency score to each user for knowledge and proficiency in operating the particular component of the business application.

Abstract: A mobile computing platform for a mobile device, which has an interface for a remote connection to a backend server, includes a mobile analytics engine. The mobile analytics engine is configured to implement a mobile analytics model, which defines data, query and report structures for analytics of business data stored on the backend server. The mobile analytics engine uses model metadata to provide a generic reporting and analytics interface to support diverse mobile business analytics applications.

Abstract: Aspects of the current subject matter can provide a background job repository that stores a background job template specifying a background job comprising a maintenance task that affects a customized software platform. The background job template can also include metadata defining a purpose of the background job, triggering information indicating when the background job should be executed, and a prerequisite feature of the customized software platform that indicates a need for the background job in the customized software platform. A previous set of background jobs that run in the customized software platform can be updated to a current set by comparing the previous set with the background job template and including the background job in the current set of background jobs when the customized software platform includes the prerequisite feature.

Abstract: A method for performing response time measurements may include defining rules for response time collecting in a metadata object model. The response time measurements defined at the metadata object level may be may be collected during a user session that uses one or more metadata object models in accordance with modeled information in an object model. The collected response time measurements may be transformed to modeled response time data. The modeled response time data may be associated with the object model and used to generate a report of the response time measurements.

Abstract: A controlled and optimal provision of offers to customers on associated products is described. A three dimensional matrix characterizes product, customer, and time dimensions. Each product is associated with volume constraint(s). The three dimensional matrix is populated with scores. A score characterizes likelihood of a customer to purchase a corresponding product in an associated time period. First pairs of products and customers are randomly selected. The scores associated with the first pairs are changed to zero. Using volume constraints, an optimization is performed that excludes customers of the first pairs from a provision of best offers so that those customers are provided alternate offers. Based on the volume constraints, second pairs of products and customers are selected. The scores associated with the second pairs of products and customers are changed to one. Using volume constraints, optimization is performed such that customers of the second pairs are always provided best offers.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium for applying gamification techniques to process incidents. A gamification environment to process service incidents received at a service management computer system is developed based on skills of service incident processors who process service incidents and a respective level for each incident processor's skill. The gamification environment is provided to process service incidents received at the service management computer system from, for example, a customer organization. When a service incident is received, tasks to be performed to resolve the incident and one or more service incident processors who possess the skill at the level to perform the tasks are identified. The service incident is identified to the identified processors who resolve the incident. Once resolved, one or more of the identified incident processors are assigned a credit determined based on the service incident.
