| 20080307058 | Message handling for user interfaces - Generally, systems and methods permit customized delivery of messages to a user depending on the specific requirements of a user interface. A processing layer between a business object and a user interface may determine, for a received message, an appropriate rule for the target user interface. The message rule may be applied, and depending on the rule, the message may be delivered to the user. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20100001834 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR A MESSAGE REGISTRY AND MESSAGE HANDLING IN A SERVICE -ORIENTED BUSINESS FRAMEWORK - A system and method are provided for handling a notification message in an enterprise services framework, including in response to the saving of a transaction, sending a notification message to the enterprise system framework, the notification message containing an associated message class including information of message severity and message symptom. The framework includes a controller layer situated between a service management layer and a business object layer, the controller layer maintaining a message registry database which collects and stores the notification message and the information of message severity, message symptom, and message identification. A system and method is provided for the hierarchical handling of software objects, including providing software objects, each associated with a user interface message, hierarchically associating the user interface messages, and displaying those messages in a tree structure in association with each of the software objects. | 01-07-2010 |
| 20100088391 | BACKEND SERVICE ADAPTATION - A request originating at a frontend server for data encapsulated in a plurality of business objects is received. The plurality of business objects are stored in a business object layer at the backend server remote from the frontend server. In addition, the request originates from a user interface layer is received at a controller layer. A controller object is instantiated in the controller layer at the backend server. Nodes of the controller object are mapped to nodes in the plurality of business objects so that the controller object encapsulates the request data. Thereafter, transmission of data response to the request encapsulated by the controller object to the frontend server is initiated. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described. | 04-08-2010 |
| 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 |
| 20120030580 | Stable Anchors In User Interface to Support Life Cycle Extensions - According to some embodiments, a business service provider may define a stable user interface anchor entity associated with a business object data structure. A reference field may be associated with the stable user interface anchor, the reference field representing a path to a persistent node of the business object data structure. An end user adaptation to a user interface may then be applied in connection with the business object data structure, the adaptation referencing the stable user interface anchor entity. | 02-02-2012 |
| 20120030591 | LOGICAL DATA MODEL ABSTRACTION IN A PHYSICALLY DISTRIBUTED ENVIRONMENT - A component object binds business driven services to a graphical user interface (GUI). The object includes a data model, view model and controller. The view model graphically presents, and the controller manipulates data used by the object. The controller includes an event handler that respond to events generated within the GUI and binds data used by the object to a data source which can be another component object or a remotely located source. The event handler can call a local script to calculate the value of a data element within the object. The component object can be instantiated on a client, and can be configured to communicate with a corresponding component object on a server. The client and server component objects can exchange only that data that needs to be exchanged to maintain the current state of a user interface in the client computer. | 02-02-2012 |
| 20120030664 | PROCESSING OF SOFTWARE OBJECTS MOVED INTO A DROPZONE REGION OF AN APPLICATION - A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing code representing instructions that when executed are configured to cause a processor to perform a process. The code can comprise code to receive, on a client side of a network, an indicator that a first software object has been moved from a first application into a dropzone region of a second application. The code can include code to receive an indicator that a second software object has been moved into the dropzone region of the second application, and code to access a plurality of dropzone conditions. The code can include code to determine that a dropzone condition from the plurality of dropzone conditions has been satisfied based on the first software object and the second software object both being moved into the dropzone region, and code to send to a server side of a network an indicator that the dropzone condition has been satisfied. | 02-02-2012 |
