In one embodiment, a method is provided that comprises (a) storing a first data object in a database in a non volatile storage, (b) creating a second data object assigned to the first data object, step (b) being triggered by step (a), and (c) processing the second data object by means of an object processor, the object processor creating a third data object using data contained in the second data object, data contained in the first data object and data contained in the database by applying a set of one or more pre-settable rules to the data contained in the first and second data objects and in the database.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing an interaction between a status management service and an audit trail service. In one embodiment, a computer-implement method provides the interaction by enabling an audit of a business object when the business object reaches a designated status. At an application server, a change associated with the business object is received. In response to the change, it is determined whether the business object is a status business object and an auditable business object. If so, a status function set is implemented to interface with the application server to determine whether the change to the business object is allowed. The method also determines whether the business object has reached the designated status. When the business object has reached the designated status, auditing data is requested for the business object.

Abstract: Computer-implemented method, computer system and computer program product for creating graphical assignments between objects. An object hierarchy (110) and an object type selector (130) are displayed on an output device. The object type selector (130) proyides a plurality of predefined object types (131-134). A rule database stores for each object type at least one predefined object type assignment. A first object (111) is inserted (438) into the object hierarchy (110) in accordance with one of the object type assignments, wherein the first object (111) has a first object type (131) and is graphically assigned to a second object (112) haying a second object type (132). An object type can result from a combination of a predefined object type (134) with an object instance of any predefined object type. Graphical assignments between objects of at least two object hierarchies can also be created.
