Abstract: Disclosed is a mechanism to process business object IDs in inbound and outbound processing. The mechanism takes into account a mapping table, matching capabilities, number ranges, inbound error and conflict handling, inbound processing, outbound processing, initial load, and data migration.

Abstract: According to one general aspect, a method may include replicating, to a software-as-a-service application, a plurality of pieces of master data from a physically remote master database. The method may also include converting the plurality of pieces of master data into one or more pieces of local data of the software-as-a-service application. The method may include changing one or more of either the pieces of master data or the pieces of local data. The method may further include synchronizing the changed pieces of either master data or local data between the remote master database and the software-as-a-service application.

Abstract: Test data for a software services (e.g., a Web service) can be automatically generated from a user-provided specification. The user-provided specification may identify mandatory data elements along with data elements to be tested. Test categories may be defined to specify the type of test to be performed. A value provider may serve as a source of data values for the generated test data.

Abstract: A business object model, which reflects data that is used during a given business transaction, is utilized to generate interfaces. This business object model facilitates commercial transactions by providing consistent interfaces that are suitable for use across industries, across businesses, and across different departments within a business during a business transaction. In some operations, software creates, updates, or otherwise processes information related to a business partner relationship and a business partner hierarchy business object.

Abstract: A received delta message of a first kind, expressed in one interchange format, may be used to modify business record(s) in accordance with the processing of a delta message of a second kind expressed in a different interchange format. Conversely, a delta message of the first kind may be generated to express modifications made to a business record, where the modifications are specified in accordance with a delta message of the second kind.
