  • Publication number: 20130159036
    Abstract: A seed element can be determined by identifying a business object type underlying a current use context of a currently active application environment experienced by a user of a business software architecture. At runtime, a data context can be populated by applying a set of data derivation rules stored in a meta-model to compare the seed element to a plurality of business object instances retained in memory. Status and responsibility rules stored in the meta-model can be evaluated based on the data context to build a set of up-to-date process or scenario instance information. A process navigation user interface configuration presentable on a computer display device can display up-to-date instance information relating to the current use context for a business process or scenario instance related to the current use context.

  • Publication number: 20130159199
    Abstract: A current transactional context of a user of a business software architecture can be detected, optionally in response to a guidance request received from the user. At least one matching business process feature related to the current transactional context can be determined by comparing the current transactional context with process metadata in a process repository, and the matching business process feature can be compared to scenario metadata defining a set of business process features that are part of each of a plurality of business scenarios within the business configuration to identify at least one matching business scenario containing the matching business process feature. In a user interface, the at least one matching business process feature and the identified matching business scenario that contains the at least one matching business process feature can be highlighted.

  • Publication number: 20130159063
    Abstract: A graphical display can concurrently include a plurality of organizational roles within an organization and a plurality of business process features of at least one business process within a business configuration of a scenario landscape of the organization. After receiving input that includes an assignment of a linkage between one of the plurality of organizational roles and one of the plurality of business process features via the graphical display from an authorized administrator-level user at the organization, a meta-model that includes metadata that defines a global set of linkages between business process features and organizational roles for the business configuration of the scenario landscape of the organization can be updated based on the received input.
