Patent number: 11138206Abstract: Techniques and solutions are described for transferring metadata between software applications. A translation framework stores metadata models in a standard format. Source applications can cause metadata models to be stored in the translation framework in the standard format. A target application can receive metadata models, or elements thereof, from the translation framework, which metadata models can be optionally converted from the standard format to a target format used by the target application. The translation framework can store annotations to a metadata model in the form of custom metadata types. The custom metadata types can be used by one or both of the target application and a source application. Source applications can cause values to be stored for annotations they support. Target applications can read values for annotations they support. Source applications and target applications do not write or read, respectively, unsupported annotations.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2018Date of Patent: October 5, 2021Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Ingo Siebeking, Andreas Balzar, Gerald Krause, Jan Teichmann

Patent number: 10282360Abstract: A system for visually enhancing a chart of one or more data sets with semantic information, the data points in the data sets being values of one or more measures. The system includes a data model that specifies the one or more measures and includes measure annotations for the one or more measures. The measure annotations include semantic information of the measures. The system further includes a processor that executes instructions stored in the memory to implement a chart component. The chart component renders data points of the one or more data sets in a chart, and visually enhances the chart with semantic information of the one or more measures retrieved from the data model.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2017Date of Patent: May 7, 2019Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Gerald Krause, Vincent Monnier, Andreas Balzar, Sihang Shao, Jingting Fei

Publication number: 20140244364Abstract: In some implementations, a benchmarking system may be used to provide benchmarking data or reports. The benchmarking system may include benchmarking scenario tag templates that may include tags associated with defined data structures. In some instances, the data structures may be defined in a technology- or solution-independent manner. A business data provider may request a benchmarking tag template and associate the tags with the relevant elements of business data. The tagged elements of the business data may be extracted and transformed to be loaded into the benchmarking system. In some instances, the tagged elements of the business data may be transformed by anonymization or pseudonymization. The benchmarking system may use the tagged elements of the business data and other data to generate benchmarking data. The business data provider may opt in to a scenario to include the tagged elements of the business data into a benchmarking data database.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2013Publication date: August 28, 2014Applicant: SAP AGInventors: Harald Evers, Steffen Springborn, Gerald Krause

Patent number: 8612285Abstract: In a computing system, key figures are made available for selection in an electronic data repository. The key figures are selectable by any of a plurality of distributed systems. A request for a key figure value calculation is received from one of the distributed systems, and request is made for an identifier of one of the key figures. Data is accessed for the key figure from at least one electronic data source, and the data is used to compute a value for the key figure. The value for the key figure is stored in an electronic storage location.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2007Date of Patent: December 17, 2013Assignee: SAP AGInventors: Karl-Peter Nos, Gerald Krause, Christoph Luebbe

Patent number: 7653661Abstract: Monitoring a connection between computer system layers includes detecting that an aspect is being modified in a transactional layer of an enterprise resource computing system that further includes an analytical layer configured to receive data from the transactional layer. In response to the detection, it is determined whether at least one of several decoupling components, configured for use by the analytical layer in receiving the data, is implicated by the aspect. A predefined output is made to a user based on the determination. An enterprise resource computing system includes a transactional layer and an analytical layer, and decoupling components for use by the analytical layer in receiving the data. Upon an aspect of the transactional layer being modified, a predefined output is made to a user based on a determination of whether any of several decoupling components is implicated by the aspect.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2006Date of Patent: January 26, 2010Assignee: SAP AGInventors: Nadim Razvi, Gerald Krause

Publication number: 20090144245Abstract: Among other disclosed subject matter, a computer-implemented method for managing indicator values includes identifying a change that has been made in a data source to a data value relating to a specific date. Multiple indicators have been defined that can be evaluated using business information in the data source. The method includes identifying, in a history repository that is separate from the data source and that includes indicator values from evaluations of at least one of the indicators, at least one of the indicator values that was determined at a time before the change was made. The indicator value is identified as having been determined using the data value. The method includes modifying the identified indicator value in the history repository using at least the change of the data value.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 4, 2007Publication date: June 4, 2009Inventors: Karl-Peter Nos, Gerald Krause
