Abstract: Disclosed is a computer implemented method, computer program product, and data processing system for propagating object fields associated with an event to a client application. A software module gets an event having an event identifier, wherein the event identifier is associated with a business object. The software module analyzes the business object and the application specific metadata to determine the delta component used for the event. The software module builds the delta business object based on the delta content. The software module determines if the business object has a child object. The software module sets the business object to be the child object in response to a determination that the business object has the child object. The software module propagates the delta business object to the client application.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method is disclosed for receiving a hierarchical data structure, analyzing the hierarchical data structure to determine what actions are needed to correctly process the hierarchical data structure in a data repository, generating a hierarchical command structure comprising a series of repository-specific commands needed to interface with the data repository, and executing the repository-specific commands to process the hierarchical data structure with respect to the data repository. In selected embodiments, the hierarchical command structure is represented as a series of nodes including a parent node and at least one child node.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for the direct retrieval of hierarchical data from an SAP system. The apparatus includes an input module, a table hierarchy module, a query builder module, a query execution module, and a response builder module. The input module receives a table business object comprising a query criteria. The table hierarchy module determines a table hierarchy associated with the table business object. The query builder module builds a native SAP query based on the table hierarchy and the query criteria. The query execution module executes the native SAP query directly on an SAP database. The response builder module returns results of the native SAP query.
