  • Patent number: 10091282
    Abstract: The disclosure generally describes computer-implemented methods, computer program products, and systems for providing metadata-driven dynamic load balancing in multi-tenant systems. A computer-implemented method includes: identifying a request related to a model-based application executing in a multi-tenant system associated with a plurality of application servers and identifying at least one object in the model-based application associated with the request. At least one application server is identified as associated with a locally-cached version of a runtime version of the identified object, and a determination of a particular one of the identified application servers to send the identified request for processing is based on a combination of the availability of a locally-cached version of the runtime version at the particular application server and the server's processing load. The request is then sent to the determined application server for processing.

  • Patent number: 10055269
    Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods to display an additional message information relevant to a product are described herein. Initially a determination is made whether error message, corresponding to a data processing error related to a product, has a corresponding additional message information related to the product. Next, based on the determined additional message information, an additional message information property of the error message is updated to indicate that the error message has the corresponding additional information. Next, based on the updated additional message information property, the additional message information is converted to obtain a converted additional message information in a markup language. Finally the converted additional message information is forwarded to a user interface, where it is displayed.

  • Patent number: 9621673
    Abstract: Customer initiated tenant operations are presented that are provided within a work center of a client cloud application. System supported tenant operations combined with automatic validations and determinations are exposed directly to the customer via the work center. Customers are able to coordinate and initiate tenant operations using a specific work center called a service control center, which is added to other work centers that build the cloud enterprise applications or products the customers are using. The enterprise application embedded service control center is connected to a central service control center, which is located in a service provider cockpit system. The central service control center enables the execution of customer specific tenant operations that are tailored to the customer's landscape and guarantees the tenant isolation.

  • Patent number: 9460415
    Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods to determine semantic information of a plurality of business applications are described herein. In one aspect, a selection of user interface elements of a first business application and a second business application of the plurality of business applications are received. Further, data processing paths to a business object field and a corresponding database table field associated with the user interface elements are identified. Furthermore, semantic information of the plurality of business applications is determined by grouping the identified data processing paths, which can be used for applications such as business application integration, business data migration and the like.

  • Patent number: 9170826
    Abstract: A system, a method, and a computer-program product for providing multi-language support in applications are disclosed. A first textual expression contained within an application is obtained. The first textual expression is expressed in a first language. A unique key from a hash of the first textual expression is generated. A language code representative of a second language is determined. Based on the generated unique key and the determined language code, a second textual expression in the second language representative of a translation from the first language into the second language indicated by the language code is determined. The second textual expression is provided to the application to replace the first textual expression in a view presented to a user.

  • Publication number: 20150169675
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for accessing data. The method may include receiving at runtime, a retrieve request for data associated with a node of a business object data model. Based on a set of attributes for at least one business object associated with the business object data model, a virtual retrieve transformation node (VRTN) may be generated at runtime. The VRTN may use a set of data from a metadata repository. The requested data may be retrieved at runtime using the generated VRTN. The set of attributes may be received from a plurality of available sets of attributes generated statically, during design time analysis. During runtime analysis, the available sets of attributes may be modified based on attributes requested during runtime.
