The first application patch is deployed to the plurality of tenants. A second application patch is generated. The second application patch includes computer executable instructions that during deployment to the target system configure the target system to allow deletion of the object from the target system. The second application patch is deployed to the plurality of tenants. Related apparatus, systems, techniques, and articles are also described.

Abstract: Systems and methods to migrate unstructured objects such as, but not limited to, attachments and platform change documents from a database to a cloud-provided external object storage. The unstructured objects may be designated for migration based on their creation date and/or other characteristics. Migration of an object may include conversion of the object to a serialized file in an object notation format. The database may maintain a header of the migrated object indicating the location to which the object was migrated.

Abstract: A method may include generating, based on a first programming code implementing a routine in a first programming language, a second programming code implementing the routine in a second programming language associated with an offline runtime environment and a third programming code implementing the routine in a third programming language associated with an online runtime environment. The routine may include a first operation and a second operation associated with a cloud-based software application. The first operation may be capable of being performed while the cloud-based software application is operating in an offline mode but the second operation may be incapable of being performed while the cloud-based software application is operating in the offline mode. The second second programming code being generated to include the first operation and exclude the second operation. The second programming code and the third programming code may be deployed to a client.

Abstract: A method for testing a cloud-based software application for offline operation may include generating a test user interface displaying a first result of the cloud-based software application operating in an offline mode and updating the test user interface to display a second result of the cloud-based software application operating in an online mode. Inconsistencies between the first result of the cloud-based software application operating in the offline mode and the second result of the cloud-based software application operating in the online mode may be detected based on the first result and the test result displayed in test user interface. A runtime environment of the cloud-based software application operating in the offline mode may be modified, for example, iteratively, in order to eliminate the inconsistencies between the first result and the second result. Related systems and articles of manufacture are also provided.

Abstract: Various embodiments of systems, computer program products, and methods to adapt database table to incompatible changes are described herein. In an aspect, a data repository is instructed to modify a database table based on a current definition of an element corresponding to a node of a data entity. Further, an error message is received when the current definition of the element is incompatible with a definition associated with a column of the database table. A check is made to determine whether an error is a data type change error by analyzing the error message. The definition of the column of the database table is compared with the current definition of the element when the error is the data type change error. Based on the comparison, the database table is triggered for database table adaption corresponding to the current definition of the element.

Abstract: A business object infrastructure may comprise a repository storing a business object having a plurality of nodes, including at least one exit node associated with a code snippet written in a programming language. The business object infrastructure may further include a scripting framework coupled to the repository. The scripting framework may, responsive to a request received from a client device, execute the business object at a processing framework until the exit node is reached. When the exit node is reached, the scripting framework may load the code snippet from the repository and, based on the programming language of the code snippet, select a virtual machine interpreter for the code snippet.

Abstract: A streamlined, dynamic definition of a customized user interface that presents content from a variety of service providers or sources can be provided. A server can retrieve a list of underlying business object nodes required for presentation of an organization-specific user interface corresponding to an organization from which a call for an instance of the organization-specific user interface is received at the server.
