Abstract: A method may include receiving a selection of a template defining a manner in which data is stored in one or more database tables operated upon by a software application while the software application performs a function. The selected template may be stored in a first database table. Customizations applied to the selected template are stored in a second database table. In response to the software application performing the function, a virtual customizing table may be generated to include a database view having the selected template from the first database table and the customizations from the second database table. The software application may perform the function based on the virtual customization table, which is not persisted at a database but is generated as needed.

Abstract: A method for mitigating errors in the transportation of configuration data may include identifying, at a development system, dependent configuration data associated with a first transport request. The dependent configuration data may implement a customization to a software application hosted at a production system. A reference table identifying the dependent configuration data may be sent to the production system. A missing object list identifying dependent configuration data absent from the production system may be generated at the production system based on the reference table. The missing object list may be sent to the development system where a corrective action may be performed such that the dependent configuration data identified by the missing object list as being absent from the production system is sent to the production system in the first transport request and/or a second transport request. Related systems and articles of manufacture, including computer program products, are also provided.

Accordingly, software setup for a new entity is automated based on the software setup selections of similar entities.

Abstract: A method for transporting configuration data may include determining that a customization created at a development system for a software application is being deployed at a production system hosting the software application. In response, a transport request including the customization may be verified to determine whether errors are present in the transport request. The errors may include dependent data that is required to deploy the customization at the production system being absent from the transport request. If errors are present in the transport request, a request for a corrected transport request may be sent to the development system. The customization included in the corrected transport request may be deployed at the production system by applying, to a configuration of the software application, the customization included in the corrected transport request. Related systems and articles of manufacture, including computer program products, are also provided.

As such, the first software application and the second software application may be deployed by sending, to the production system, a first template for the first software application, a second template for the second software application, and the first configuration data. The first template and the second template may each define the one or more database tables. Related systems and articles of manufacture, including computer program products, are also provided.
