  • Patent number: 9053151
    Abstract: According to some embodiments, an anchor transactional view may be defined for at least one business object data structure. The anchor transactional may have a plurality of anchor fields, each anchor field representing a data source and being associated with a field of an anchor search view. An indication of at least one extension field to the anchor search view may be received. The anchor search view and at least one extension field may represent, for example, a virtual fast search infrastructure view. Responsive to the received indication of the at least one extension field, an additional view may be dynamically joined at runtime to the anchor transactional view. The additional view may have at least one additional field, and each additional field may be associated with one of the extension fields.

  • Patent number: 8176083
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to computer implemented methods, systems, and software for automatically preparing data from a data object used in an enterprise software application. Updates can be received for first and second data objects, the data objects each including hierarchical data with at least one node. The data objects can be associated with a service-oriented enterprise software application. A mapping, from the first data object to a first structured data element, can be identified using a first mapping agent. A mapping, from the second data object to a second structured data element, can be identified using a first mapping agent. In some instances, data can be loaded from at least one of the first or second data objects using the first mapping agent. Loading data from the data object can be based on the mapping from the data object to the respective structured data element.

  • Publication number: 20080263006
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods, systems, and software for querying heterogeneous business data comprising structured data and unstructured data. The structured data and unstructured data may be stored across one or more repositories. The combined query may be initiated when the system receives a query for the heterogeneous business data and automatically parses the received query into sub-queries. Each sub-query can be associated with either structured or unstructured data stored in one of the repositories. At least one of the sub-queries can include of a portion of the received query. The results of the various sub-queries can be merged automatically using business logic.
