Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a coarse grained client interface for accessing complex data structures in a storage system. Complex data structures may take the form of business objects (BOs), which may be hierarchically structured. Various embodiments allow for creating, accessing and manipulating one or more BO instances in a storage system using deeply structured data types corresponding to the entire hierarchy of a BO instance or to a substructures of a BO instance.

Abstract: A method, a system, and computer-readable medium for processing of data are disclosed. An acknowledgement is received to store business object data. Based on the acknowledgement, an indication that the business object data is stored in a repository is generated. Processing of the business object data to enable storage in the repository continues while generating such indication.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for providing a query language based on a model. In one aspect, there is provided a computer-implemented method. The method may include receiving a first query; generating, based on a model including metadata representing a data structure, a second query specific to the data structure stored in a database; and sending the second query to the database. Related apparatus, systems, methods, and articles are also described.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to computing, and in particular, to a systems and methods for a querying a database. Certain embodiments implement a model-driven database query (“the SADL query”) facilitating a design-time tool that allows a developer to create the query based upon existing Business Objects (BOs) and their associations. This SADL query leverages mapping between business-layer entities and database-layer entities, such mapping being derived from association metadata already extant in the business model used to create the Business Objects. In certain embodiments, query views may be based upon associations present within the business layer, rather than upon database-level entities (such as joins or restriction rules) that are typically relied upon in conventional query creation. Embodiments of the present invention may thus align query creation more closely with the structure of the business layer, and may also render query design agnostic relative to the identity of the underlying database.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for providing value help. In one aspect, there is provided a computer-implemented method. The method may include receiving at least one field of a row of a list presented at a user interface; transforming, at a service component rather than the user interface, the at least one field into a query; and sending the transformed query to a database. Related apparatus, systems, methods, and articles are also described.

Abstract: A system may include reception of the first instruction, execution of the business process in a first software work process, reception, during execution of the business process, of an indication of a business object process associated with the business process, determination of progress information associated with the business process based on the indication of the business object process, and storage of the progress information within a memory. Aspects may further include reception, at a second work process, of a request from the client application for progress information, retrieval of the progress information from the shared memory and provision of the progress information to the client application.

Abstract: A computer-implemented system may include reception, from a user interface client application, of a user interface request conforming to a user interface component model, translation of the user interface request from the user interface component model to a business object model, execution of interactions associated with the translated request with a backend service layer, the interactions conforming to the business object model, determination of business object node changes and business object property changes conforming to the business object model and corresponding to the interactions, translation of the business object node changes and the business object property changes to user interface data changes and user interface event property changes conforming to the user interface component model, and provision of the user interface data changes and user interface event property changes to the user interface client.

Abstract: A bulk service interface can be instantiated for each of at least one service provider providing a plurality of business objects using a stored definition of a plurality of metadata properties relating to generation of a user interface that incorporates content of a plurality of business objects. The bulk service interface can query the stored definition and access, in a bulk metadata access process, dynamic metadata required for instantiation of the plurality of business objects. If the stored definition has not previously been received, a default bulk services access process that queries an existing dynamic metadata access interface of each of the plurality of business objects can be initiated to retrieve the dynamic metadata from each of the plurality of business objects. An instance of the user interface can be generated using dynamic metadata accessed by the bulk service interface and/or the retrieved by the default bulk services access process.

Abstract: A computerized method for accessing business object data stored in a data buffer of a server computer includes providing an application program interface (API) having a function for specifying a set of paths through a business object stored as a data structure in a data buffer of a server computer. Each of the paths included in the set of paths specifies a plurality of nodes of the business object for accessing hosted data at the plurality of nodes. The method further includes receiving a set of parameters for the function of the API. The set of parameters specify the set of paths. The method further includes issuing the set of parameters to the server computer, retrieving hosted data from the plurality of nodes for each path in the set of paths; and transmitting to a client the hosted data retrieved from the plurality of nodes.
