Publication number: 20190129988Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for key pattern management. One example method includes receiving a query for a logical database table from an application. A determination is made as to whether the query is a write query. In response to determining that the query is a write query, a determination is made as to whether the query complies with a key pattern configuration that describes keys of records included in a physical database table that is part of a logical table implementation. The physical table includes records of the logical database table that are allowed to be written by the application. The write query is redirected to the physical database table in response to determining that the query complies with the key pattern definition. The query is rejected in response to determining that the query does not comply with the key pattern configuration.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2017Publication date: May 2, 2019Inventors: Ulrich Auer, Immo-Gert Birn, Ralf-Juergen Hauck, Uwe Schlarb, Christian Stork, Welf Walter, Torsten Ziegler, Volker Driesen

Patent number: 9524239Abstract: Software solutions in a business software framework can expose their data via web services, which can readily provide access to all non-customized fields of objects included as part of the default installation of the software solution. However, customer-added extensions, such as for example custom fields and the like, added to customize the software solution for a specific business or business use can be difficult to add to web services by a typical business user who lacks technical abilities. Described herein are approaches to enabling addition of custom fields to web services via an intuitive interface that does not require technical understanding of the software solution, the business software framework, web services, etc.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2013Date of Patent: December 20, 2016Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Georg Wilhelm, Daniel Niehoff, Uwe Schlarb, Matthias Lehr, Rene Dehn, Daniel Figus, Ralf Schroth, Steffen Witt, Daniel Wachs, Knut Heusermann

Patent number: 9182994Abstract: An extension node can be defined in a second layer of a software architecture for a first business object existing in a first layer and originally having an association with a second business object that is also in the first layer. The extension node can be defined to have an association with the second business object existing in a second layer of the software architecture. The association of the second business object can be altered from the first business object to the extension node so that at run time, metadata defining one or more nodes of the first business object and the extension node can be read from a metadata repository and a run time version of the first business object can be constructed at run time in a run time business object load based on the metadata.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2012Date of Patent: November 10, 2015Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Uwe Schlarb, Daniel Figus, Stefan Baeuerle, Michael Hartel, Toralf Grossmann

Patent number: 9038021Abstract: An extension naming approach for avoiding naming collisions in de-normalized view on a business object can include accessing a reference field bundle, which includes reference field(s) corresponding to a core business object defined in a core software platform of a software architecture, from a metadata repository. A user can define an extension to the business object based on the core business object, for example via a development environment. The reference field(s) can include a defined path from a node in a peripheral object to a corresponding node in the core business object. A unique and reproducible name for the extension field can be generated based on the reference field, and the extension field with the unique and reproducible name can be added to the business object and to a data model of the peripheral object.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2012Date of Patent: May 19, 2015Assignee: SAP AGInventors: Uwe Schlarb, Rene Dehn, Daniel Figus, Daniel Niehoff, Stefan Baeuerle, Georg Wilhelm

Patent number: 8938645Abstract: A quick buffer validity check can optionally be performed when a potential invalidity of the content of a buffer is identified. The identifying of the potential invalidity condition can include determining that a most recent lifecycle management event timestamp is more recent than a most recent buffer validity check timestamp for the buffer. To determine whether the buffer contents need to be refreshed, a list of the last changed timestamps for the constituent elements of the buffer can be compared to a new list. If the new list and the old list are not identical, the buffer can be rebuilt.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2012Date of Patent: January 20, 2015Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Uwe Schlarb, Stefan Baeuerle
