Patent number: 8095564Abstract: A configuration server includes a configuration repository that stores a wide range of configuration information for possible use by application programs. The configuration repository may include configuration parameters, settings for the parameters, and meta-data of definitions and descriptions of the parameters. Configuration information is selected from the configuration repository and stored in a configuration directory for later use by application programs at runtime. The configuration information is accessed from the configuration directory when needed by an application program or a component thereof.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2010Date of Patent: January 10, 2012Assignee: SAP AktiengesellschaftInventors: Wolfgang Herzog, Ulrich Frenzel, Klaus-Peter Lang

Patent number: 7526457Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for configuring software. The software may be configured with wizard-like configuration levels, including configuration levels that may overlay previous ones. In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method is provided for configuring software. The method may include prompting a user to select a scenario for configuring the software, receiving, as input, a selected scenario from the user and further prompting the user to enter configuration data based on the selected business scenario. The method may also include applying at least one template to generate at least one configuration statement for the software, wherein the at least one template comprises a set of rules for generating the configuration statement based on the configuration data entered by the user.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2004Date of Patent: April 28, 2009Assignee: SAP AGInventors: Olaf Duevel, Ulrich Frenzel, Wolfgang Herzog, Gunther Liebich
