Abstract: A core system including different program components performing distinct tasks in a workflow sequence that are initiated through status field updates of objects in database may be modified to define a new status triggering additional processes in an action management system. Once the additional processes are completed, the status field may be changed to an original status provided by the core system to trigger a second program component in the workflow sequence. The action management system may contain user customized processes that may be modified and changed independent of the functionality provided by the core system.

Abstract: A business application backend system, such as an Advanced Business Application Programming backend can receive and respond to representational state transfer (RESTful) service requests via both HTTP and Remote Function Call (RFC) protocols. In particular, the backend system extracts the RESTful service requests and fulfills the extracted requests using a protocol-independent resource controller. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

Abstract: A mesh structure can be a type concept that extends internal tables or other data structures of a business programming languages (e.g., ABAP) by associations, as known from a data object meta-model. A mesh can include a set of operations, such as for example iteration via an iterator object and selection of instances expressed by a path language. A mesh structure can be optimized for read access and traversal, and can provide a working area that is processed with statements in the business programming language to implement one or more core services directly from the mesh data structure. Related methods, computer program products, and systems are described.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a method of computer program compilation is presented. In this method, a compiler for a first programming language is provided. In one example, the first programming language allows a data assignment to depend on a result of a previous data assignment. Source code including a first portion written in the first programming language and a second portion written in a second programming language is accessed, with the second portion representing a data transformation from a first data structure accessible in the first portion to a second data structure accessible in the first portion. In one example, the second programming language prevents a data assignment that depends on a result of a previous data assignment. The source code is compiled using the compiler to generate executable code to be executed by an engine for the first programming language, which includes an interpretation engine to interpret the second portion.

Abstract: Methods and systems of monitoring events occurring in a computer system are provided. An event monitoring instruction including a condition is parsed, the event monitoring instruction expressed using syntax defined in source code, the parsing resulting in an event channel to monitor and the condition. Then execution of an application is paused. The event channel is monitored until an event occurs on the event channel. Then an event handler for the event is run in response to the event occurring on the event channel. The condition is evaluated to determine whether the condition is satisfied. Execution of the application is resumed in response to the condition being satisfied.

Abstract: The subject matter disclosed herein provides methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for navigating abstract syntax trees. In one aspect there is provided a method. The method may include receiving a plurality of nodes, the nodes configured as an abstract syntax tree representing program code. The method may also include identifying at least one node from the plurality of nodes by navigating the plurality of nodes using a path expression. Related systems, apparatus, methods, and/or articles are also described.

Abstract: An application system includes a first process configured to execute an application program, wherein the application program is operable to use a set of data structures. The application system also includes a second process configured to interpret a markup language document. A transformation template is configured to specify a symmetric mapping between the markup language document and the set of data structures. A transformation virtual machine runs in association with the first process and is operable to execute the transformation template. The transformation virtual machine is operable to perform a symmetric transformation between the markup language document and the set of data structures to allow the first process and the second process to exchange information.
