| 20080243849 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SUPPORTING CONTEXT LINKS FOR APPLICATION PROGRAM TEXT - Methods and apparatus are provided for supporting text-based context links for application programs. An embodiment includes a first computer to maintain a database of data objects and a second computer to execute an application program that operates on a file having text elements. In an embodiment, the second computer is to execute a link program to access a data object on the first computer based on a user of the application program having used the application program to select a text element that is related to that data object. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20090012943 | Method and Apparatus for Supporting Active Documents - A tool is proposed for supporting active documents. In one embodiment, an active document may be opened in an application program executing at a first computer, the active document being in a format recognized by the application program. Data relating to a first active document may be received data at the first computer from a user of the application program, and a search request based on the received data may be sent from the first computer to a second computer that maintains a plurality of data objects. In one embodiment, the application program at the first computer is unable to perform any functions with data objects at the second computer. The first computer may receive information relating to a result of the search request from the second computer and may store the information in the first active document. A request from the user of the application program that the active document be submitted may be received at the first computer, and the active document may be forwarded from the first computer to the second computer. A set of procedures that are pre-defined for this active document may then be performed with the active document at the second computer. | 01-08-2009 |
| 20100057760 | GENERIC DATA RETRIEVAL - A schema builder includes a read service for reading data from a multi-node hierarchical deep schema configured database and a write service for writing data to the multi-node hierarchical deep schema configured database. A transformation module transforms schemas between multi-node hierarchical deep schemas and a flat schema, and stores meta data to record a structure of the multi-node hierarchical deep schema. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100058169 | INTEGRATED DOCUMENT ORIENTED TEMPLATES - A method and system includes a server that provides a business management service to multiple independent customers. A template repository provides predefined templates, and a configuration storage stores customer changes to the predefined templates that represent customized templates. A user interface facilitates selection of customized templates as a function of scope of work for fine tuning. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100058170 | PLUG-INS FOR EDITING TEMPLATES IN A BUSINESS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - A template authoring method and system includes an application business component view that provides an interface to a user to select templates. A dialog provides a wrapper for each template to be edited by launching a server page and a host using controls provides authoring abstractions for selected authoring applications to edit the templates. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20120023154 | RAPID CLIENT-SIDE COMPONENT PROCESSING BASED ON COMPONENT RELATIONSHIPS - A client database manager can cause a memory of a client device on a client side of a network to store a first component, a second component, and a relationship value representing a dependent relationship between the first component and the second component. A client processing module can cause a processor to receive, after the storing, a request to process the first component at the client device. The client database manager can send to the server side of the network a request for an update of at least one of the first component or the second component. The client processing module can cause the processor to process at the client device, before receiving a response to the request for the update from the server side of the network, at least a portion of the first component and at least a portion of the second component based on the relationship value. | 01-26-2012 |
| 20120023421 | MODEL FOR EXTENSIONS TO SYSTEM PROVIDING USER INTERFACE APPLICATIONS - A customized application that is declared based on an abstract class definition derived from a declared host component model associated with a host software application implementing business processes and providing a graphical display associated with a user interface (UI) for a user in a client program executing on a client frontend device storing metadata associated with the UI for the client frontend device may be initiated, the metadata including a declaration of the declared host component model and a declaration of the abstract class definition. Access to data and functionality of the host software application may be obtained via the customized application. Customized output may be provided that is different from host output provided by the host software application, the customized output generated by accessing, via the abstract class definition, the declared host component model, for accessing the same data and functionality that is accessed by the host software application. | 01-26-2012 |
| 20120023484 | AUTOMATION OF TESTING FOR USER INTERFACE APPLICATIONS - A host software application implementing business processes and providing a graphical display associated with a user interface (UI) for a user in a client program executing on a client frontend device that is separate from a backend device storing metadata associated with the UI may be initiated. An automation graphical symbol may provide the user with an option to initiate a test on events of the host software application, during execution of the host software application. A request from the user may be received, to initiate a test on events of the host software application. Information may be received from the user indicating one or more selected specific events for performing the test. The test may be initiated on the selected specific events, based on a state of execution of the host software application at an initial time of the user indicating the selected specific events for performing the test. | 01-26-2012 |
