  • Patent number: 9524239
    Abstract: Software solutions in a business software framework can expose their data via web services, which can readily provide access to all non-customized fields of objects included as part of the default installation of the software solution. However, customer-added extensions, such as for example custom fields and the like, added to customize the software solution for a specific business or business use can be difficult to add to web services by a typical business user who lacks technical abilities. Described herein are approaches to enabling addition of custom fields to web services via an intuitive interface that does not require technical understanding of the software solution, the business software framework, web services, etc.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8650534
    Abstract: A system may include acquisition of metadata defining a first object model, the first object model comprising an instance of a metaobject, acquisition of enhancement object metadata defining one or more enhancements to the first object model and associating each of the one or more enhancements with one of one or more stable anchors of the first object model, and creation, based on the metadata defining the object model and the metadata defining the one or more enhancements, of metadata defining an extended object model, the extended object model comprising an instance of the metaobject.

  • Patent number: 8640110
    Abstract: Systems, methods, computer program products, and the like for performing business object service simulation are disclosed. A runtime model of a business object can be generated. The runtime model can include a plurality of structural and functional entities. A simulation runtime model of the business object can be instantiated. The simulation runtime model can include a plurality of pseudo-structural and pseudo-functional entities. During the simulation runtime model, a predetermined business object service of the business object can be selected and at least one parameter of the predetermined business object service can be determined. Functional entities of the runtime model can be replaced with pseudo-functional entities of the simulation runtime model. The simulation runtime model can be executed using pseudo-functional entities.

  • Publication number: 20130300562
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods, systems, and computer program products for generating delivery notification records. A described technique includes (i) identifying a computer-readable text file associated with an inbound delivery notification at a first system, the first system associated with an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system (ii) identifying backend information associated with the identified text file from the ERP system, (iii) analyzing the identified text file using an information recognition method to identify a proposed set of information associated with the identified backend information based on the analysis, (iv) verifying at least a portion of the proposed set of information from the identified text file based on data associated with the ERP system and related to the identified backend information, and (v) associating at least a portion of the verified set of information from the identified text file with an instance of a delivery notification data object.
