Abstract: Computer-readable media, methods, and systems are disclosed for facilitating source to target translation and synchronization of production details for manufacturing of one or more production articles. A plurality of versioned technical design inputs in structured and unstructured formats is received. A plurality of translation inputs corresponding to one or more parameters associated with the plurality of versioned technical design inputs is received. A mapping of the plurality of versioned technical design inputs to a plurality of manufacturing data elements associated with one or more data models of a manufacturing system is automatically generated, based on the plurality of translation inputs. Finally, a plurality of manufacturing routings for implementing production of the one or more production articles is generated.

Abstract: Processing power of a database may be leveraged to perform contact engagement analysis efficiently defining target groups. A person-centric data model allows rapid segmentation based upon details of individual contacts, and the nature of their interactions. The data model may recognize multiple facets of a single individual, for example different identifiers for various personal networks (e.g., social media networks, enterprise directories, etc.). Contact engagement analysis may use techniques such as contact classification, filtering, date period selection, and/or tag cloud based topic classification visualization, in order to achieve target group definition. A data model and UI may provide selection tools filtering data of mixed quality, allowing fast overview, and providing selection possibilities of contact groups having different data quality classifications. A tag cloud (e.g., including a time slider) shows topics of interest derived from contact interactions, thus providing visual indications.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product for combining replicated, analytical, and locally generated data in business objects on top of a database are disclosed. Business data are replicated from a first source to an analytics database. Analytical data based on the replicated business data are generated and combined with the replicated business data in the analytics database. Business objects are created to allow access to the analytics database via a user interface. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for managing a feed in an in-memory database system includes: determining, in an in-memory database system, that a criterion for a feed event is met with regard to a business object handled by the in-memory database system; generating a feed event document in response to the determination; identifying at least one user in the in-memory database system who is a feed event subscriber regarding the business object; and forwarding the generated feed event document to the identified at least one feed event subscriber.

Abstract: A user interface integrates display of custom Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) calculated from an underlying database. The interface may allow for the creation of predictive algorithms customized to provide intelligent advice and meaningful alerts to the user in realtime, based upon the value of the KPIs. Certain embodiments may provide a dynamic ticker feature that provides recommendations for user action based upon displayed KPIs. The ticker may utilize attributes such as color and movement to effectively communicate relevant KPI information to the user.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product for joining logistical and financial data related to procurement spending in a database. Financial data can be replicated from a first source to an analytics database. Procurement data from a second source can be replicated to the analytics database. The financial data can be filtered for procurement-related items to obtain procurement-related financial data. The obtained procurement financial data can be joined with the procurement data in the analytics database based on related information between the financial data and the procurement data. One or more reports based on the joined financial and procurement data can be generated in the analytics database. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

Abstract: Example systems and methods of managing product genealogy data across distributed systems are described. In one implementation, a method identifies a material associated with a product that is part of a product batch. Usage information associated with the material is accessed, and a handling unit associated with the product batch is identified. Delivery information associated with the product batch is also accessed. A genealogy is generated for the product batch based on the material, the usage information, the handling unit, and the delivery information.

Abstract: A method includes determining, by a conversion tool, at least one specific data associated with an interface of a service of a first application, the determining comprising retrieving metadata associated with the service of the first application, the metadata describing the specific data; and automatically generating, by the conversion tool, a data context for use in requesting the service from the first application, the data context comprising at least one data field for storing the at least one specific data associated with the interface of the service.

Abstract: Inventory may be managed by affixing to material batches respective documentary batch numbers that are associated with the material batches in a computer system. The material batches may be placed as inventory in a warehouse. The documentary batch number of any of the material batches that is removed from the warehouse may be registered, wherein the documentary batch numbers are not used in managing the inventory. A material batch may be managed by affixing to the material batch a documentary batch number that is associated with the material batch in a computer system. Upon a predetermined action being taken with regard to the material batch, the documentary batch number may be received in the computer system. The documentary batch number may be read from the material batch, wherein any action taken with regard to the material batch before receiving the documentary batch number upon the predetermined action is not tracked.

Abstract: A method includes receiving by a first application an input from a user; performing a service by the second application, the service related to the input received by the first application; obtaining a log of all data locks set by the second application while performing the service, wherein the log indicates a data lock object and a data lock argument for each data lock set by the second application; and setting a generic lock having an associated generic lock object and a generic lock argument, wherein the generic lock argument indicates the data lock object and the data lock argument. In one embodiment, the a unique checksum is created, using an algorithm, for every service response.
