Abstract: A system and method for monitoring activity of heterogeneous components of a business application are disclosed. A system includes a local event infrastructure within each of the heterogeneous components. The local event infrastructure includes an event manager to detect one or more events of the business application, and an event filter to filter the one or more events detected by the event manager. The system further includes a messaging platform to transmit messages indicative of filtered events from the local event infrastructure to a user interface of a central monitoring system, and a process log displayed in the user interface to generate and display a log of the one or more events.

Abstract: An approach to workflow-based data processing is described, wherein as part of the workflow a multiplicity of display pages is executed interactively by means of workflow control commands. A suitable computer system comprises at least one user terminal with a user interface for page display (802) and for input of user data and workflow control commands, one or more basic systems with associated basic databases, containing basic data, at least one cache database in which the user data and a selected extract from the basic data are cached (806), one or more service systems with services (810) for performing data processing steps on the basis of data sourced from the cache database and a mechanism (804) for generating a request directed at the invocation of at least one service (810) as a response to a workflow control command.
