  • Publication number: 20230350902
    Abstract: In an example embodiment, a data model, software architecture, and process for synchronizing information about tags is provided, that permits assignment between different microservices. When a tag is added to an entity, then an assignment is made. The assignment is a record that contains a reference to a unique identifier for the tag and also describes the entity's domain and entity type. Each service uses at least one distinct domain, so tag assignments from different services should not conflict with one another.

  • Patent number: 10248733
    Abstract: A catalog application includes data for key indicators for performance measurement of applications. The catalog application comprises data for a large number of key indicators that may be compatible for different application. A monitoring application utilizes data for key indicators to measure performance of external applications. A catalog service interface is instantiated to process requests from the monitoring application to the catalog application. The external applications run in different technical environments and are part of different technical landscapes. A request to provide data for key indicators compatible with a first application is received at the instantiated service interface. The key indicators in the catalog application are filtered based on matching the technical characteristics of the first application with the key indicators' prerequisites.

    Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods for executing a business process in a business reporting manager are disclosed. At a first instance, a first business data to be extracted from an enterprise application is determined. A replication of the first business data is migrated to a migration repository to render the first message for data recovery. At a second instance, a second business data to be extracted from an enterprise application is determined. The first business data and the second business data are configured to execute the business process according to a data model associated with the business process. Based upon a modification in the data model, the second business data and the replication of the first business data is compiled to execute the business process according to the modified data model associated with the business process.
