Patent number: 9760364Abstract: Software extensions for applications of an enterprise system may be developed in a test system. An adaptation transport module accesses, in the test system, a collection of adaptation objects where each adaptation object includes a semantic representation of a software extension for an application of an enterprise system and at least one associated software object. The transport module processes the collection by: generating staging data based on a type of each adaptation object; exporting the collection from the test system; performing checks on each adaptation object based on the staging data; and importing the collection to the enterprise system. The transport module installs each of the software extensions on the application, using the at least one associated software object for each, based on the results of the checks of each respective adaptation object. The staging data may be written to a file in a common directory shared by both systems.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2015Date of Patent: September 12, 2017Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Thomas Wieczorek, Kai Dehmann, Tamara Weckwerth

Patent number: 9542173Abstract: Adaptation objects comprising software extensions for applications of an enterprise system may be developed in a test system. Dependency data for an adaptation object may be generated based on a reference, in the adaptation object, to at least one other adaptation object in the test system. If the adaptation object is assigned to a collection of adaptation objects for export to the enterprise system then checks are performed on the adaptation object based on the dependency data. One check may be for determining whether the at least one other adaptation object is: part of the collection or has already been exported and is unchanged since last being exported. If this check is failed a user interface is provided for: adding a latest version of the at least one adaptation object to the collection; or removing the reference to the at least one other adaptation object from the adaptation object.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2015Date of Patent: January 10, 2017Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Kai Dehmann, Thomas Wieczorek, Tamara Weckwerth, Steffi Kramer

Patent number: 7926026Abstract: A method and system for graphical analysis to detect anomalies in process objects. The method generates a graph to represent a set of process objects, applies a clustering algorithm to cluster like nodes of the graph, compares the clusters to the process objects, and, if the objects match the clusters, accepts the objects for further review or for use in applications. If one or more of the objects do not match the clusters, such suggests that there are anomalies in the process objects requiring correction. An example implementation may be to detect anomalies in the design of the process objects.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2006Date of Patent: April 12, 2011Assignee: SAP AGInventors: Udo Klein, Thomas Wieczorek, Daniel Zimmermann, Oliver Sievi, Guenter Pecht-Seibert

Publication number: 20080162502Abstract: Flexible systems and methods are described that permit a development object to be tracked and moved through a development life cycle without the need to change hard-coded rules embedded in the development objects and tools themselves. An abstraction layer may be created that includes a status-action schema. The status-action schema may include action rules. Given the development status of a development object, an appropriate rule may be selected. The action rule may be applied to the development object to move the object to the next stage of the development life cycle. This may occur for more than one development objects and their associated development status(es). A configuration interface may be provided to aid in creating and updating the status-action schema.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 27, 2006Publication date: July 3, 2008Inventors: Udo KLEIN, Thomas WIECZOREK, Daniel ZIMMERMANN, Oliver SIEVI, Guenter PECHT-SEIBERT
