Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, provided default values for business objects. In one exemplary embodiment, there is provided a method for providing default values for attributes of business objects. The method may comprise receiving, at a first service provider, a call to instantiate a first business object. The method may then obtain a static default value of an attribute associated with the first business object. A second service provider may be called to determine a dynamic default value for the attribute based on the static default value. The first service provider may then be provided with the dynamic default value for use when instantiating the first business object.

Abstract: A plurality of nodes may be arranged within a hierarchy to perform actions, each node may perform a task associated an action. A dependency evaluator may determine, based on a request to perform an action, the first subset of the nodes configured to perform the action, wherein a first node of a higher level of the hierarchy is dependent upon a response from a second node of a lower level of the hierarchy to perform a task associated with the action. A request engine may provide the request to a lowest level of the hierarchy, wherein the second node of the lowest level may perform a task associated with the requested action and respond to the dependent first node. A response engine may receive the response from one of the nodes on a highest level of the hierarchy, including a performance of the tasks and the requested action.

Abstract: The subject matter disclosed herein provides methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for model driven state management of applications. In one aspect, there is provided a computer-implemented method. The method may include instantiating one or more business objects associated with an application. The transitions between states of the application may be checked using one or more models defined based on at least one of a context of the business object and a context of the application. An indication regarding the results of checking of the transitions may be provided to a user interface. Related apparatus, systems, methods, and articles are also described.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for priority-controlled displays. In one aspect, the information elements are received at a user interface. Priorities are determined for the information elements. The information elements and determined priorities are then provided to the user interface. The priorities include a first priority representing one of the information elements with a higher priority, the information element having the first priority formatted to display the information element with higher priority when compared to another information element having a lower determined priority than the first priority.

Abstract: An electronic message, containing a request to initiate a service, can be received in a landscape of computer systems providing message-based services. Thereafter, a contract can be accessed to determine if provision of the requested service is permitted. As a result, the requested service identified in the message if provision of the requested service is permitted can be initiated. Related techniques, articles, apparatus, and systems are also described.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, implement techniques for the combined analysis of application-based statistical data and system-usage-based performance data for a distributed enterprise system. The performance data represents utilization of a system resource in the distributed enterprise system. The statistical data represents cost of particular application program steps executed on the distributed enterprise system. A user requested view of the performance data is displayed. User input is received selecting a view item of the one or more view items in the displayed view. A user gesture is received selecting a predefined link for the selected view item. Selecting the link causes a predefined query associated with the link to be performed on the statistical data. The query is performed with parameter values based on data items of the selected view items, and the result of running the query on the statistical data is displayed.
