Patent number: 9213528Abstract: In one aspect, a method of generating a computer-based dialog process includes receiving, in a computer system, a process type for creating a process. The process type includes (i) step elements each corresponding to a user-interaction task in the process, and (ii) step groups each including one or more of the step elements, wherein the process type defines an order of the step groups. The method includes receiving executable code for the process in a configuration-time context. The executable code (i) specifies that each of the step groups is performed in one or more steps, thereby defining a granularity of the process, and (ii) assigns at least one of the step elements in each step group to each of the one or more steps, thereby defining an order of the step elements in each step group. The method includes generating a runtime implementation of the process using the executable code.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2010Date of Patent: December 15, 2015Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Michael Wuschek, Kay Hammerl, Berthold Wocher

Patent number: 8527542Abstract: User-generated input may be received to initiate a generation of a message associated with an incident of a computing system having a multi-layer architecture that requires support. Thereafter, context data associated with one or more operational parameters may be collected from each of at least two of the layers of the computing system. A message may then be generated on at least a portion of the user-generated input and at least a portion of the collected context data. Related apparatuses, methods, computer program products, and computer systems are also described.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2005Date of Patent: September 3, 2013Assignee: SAP AGInventors: Tilmann Haeberle, Lilia Kotchanovskaia, Zoltan Nagy, Berthold Wocher, Juergen Subat
