Patent number: 10545983Abstract: A computerized method, system and medium for providing compatibility between systems associated with incompatible object key domains, where a first system is associated with a legacy key domain and a second system is associated with an extended key domain relative to the first system. The method includes transmitting, to the first system, a request associated with a business object instance, the request including a first logical object key in a legacy format. Prior to sending the request, the second system converts a second object key in the extended format into the first logical object key from the legacy format. A response to the request is received which includes responsive content and the first logical object key. The first logical object key is converted from the legacy format into the second object key in the extended format, and the responsive content is processed in association with the converted second object key.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2016Date of Patent: January 28, 2020Assignee: SAP SEInventor: Thomas Decker

Patent number: 10445337Abstract: A computerized method, system and medium for providing compatibility between systems associated with incompatible object key domains, where a first system is associated with a legacy key domain and a second system with an extended key domain relative to the first system. One example method can include receiving a request associated with a business object instance, wherein the request includes a first logical object key in a legacy format from the first system. The first logical key is converted from the legacy format into a second object key in an extended format. The request is processed and a response is generated based on the processing of the business object instance and includes the second object key, which is converted into the first logical key of the first system prior to sending the response to the received request to the first system. The generated response is sent to the first system.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2016Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignee: SAP SEInventor: Thomas Decker
