Abstract: Embodiments relate to information technology resource management and scaling. According to one aspect, an upcoming event impacting an application operating on one or more resources is identified. A workload on the application is predicted based on the upcoming event identified and historical data about a previous event having similarity with the upcoming event. The prediction is performed using a predefined rule. A number of resources required to process the predicted workload is ascertained using a past scaling history of the application. The resources are scaled based on the ascertained number of said resources determined before the occurrence of the event.

Abstract: A method for processing a data transaction using a single business object includes providing a transaction business object encapsulating multiple function calls for completing a data transaction. The transaction business object includes an execution sequence indicating the order the function calls should be executed. In certain embodiments, the transaction business object is assigned an operation indicating an action to be taken on data in the transaction business object. This operation is used, in selected embodiments, to determine the function calls and execution sequence that are used to process the transaction business object.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed to signal a logical error in a function call made by an integration adapter. The apparatus includes an communication module, a code extraction module, a comparison module, and an error report module. The communication module receives a business object having an error dictionary in response to a function call. The code extraction module extracts an error code value from the business object based on an error code location identifier. The comparison module compares the error code value to an associated error code in the error code dictionary. The error report module signals a logical error in the function call.

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.
