20080208900 | Systems and methods for providing an enhanced status management service - Systems and methods are provided for implementing an enhanced service-oriented architecture in a service-oriented architecture. The service-oriented architecture may include a plurality of foundation business objects and at least one dependent business object for providing an enhanced status management service for the plurality of foundation business objects. In one embodiment, a system comprises a plurality of foundation business objects, at least one dependent business object for providing an enhanced status management service for the plurality of foundation business objects, and means for instantiating one of the plurality of foundation business objects. The system may also comprise means for instantiating at least one dependent business object. Furthermore, an interface may be provided for each of the plurality of foundation business objects, wherein the interface comprises means for getting allowed statuses from the instantiated dependent business object for one or more roles associated with the instantiated foundation business object, and means may be provided for changing the status of the role specific object status associated with the instantiated foundation business object to one of the allowed statuses. | 08-28-2008 |
20080215957 | Systems and methods for generating technical documentation from enterprise service-oriented architecture content - Systems and methods are provided for generating technical documentation from content, such as enterprise SOA content. In one implementation, a computer-implemented method is provided that comprises receiving an identifier of a service interface description that defines an interface for implementing a service and processing one or more packages associated with the service interface description by reading data from one or more files of enterprise SOA content stored in a database. In addition, the method generates the technical documentation using the data read from the one or more files. | 09-04-2008 |
20090248586 | MANAGING CONSISTENT INTERFACES FOR BUSINESS OBJECTS ACROSS HETEROGENEOUS SYSTEMS - A business object model, which reflects data that is used during a given business transaction, is utilized to generate interfaces. This business object model facilitates commercial transactions by providing consistent interfaces that are suitable for use across industries, across businesses, and across different departments within a business during a business transaction. In some operations, software creates, updates, or otherwise processes information related to a cost model, a current account contract, and/or a collateral constellation business object. | 10-01-2009 |
20100057677 | SOLUTION SEARCH FOR SOFTWARE SUPPORT - A search middleware may be used to receive search requests regarding a software incident associated with a software application. The search requests may be populated with attribute values determined based on context data associated with the software application and collected in association with the software incident. The search requests may be dispatched to a subset of a plurality of solution repositories, even if the solution repositories have different interfaces and/or search technologies. The resulting solution documents retrieved from the solution repositories may be compiled for presentation on a solution search interface. | 03-04-2010 |
20100058113 | MULTI-LAYER CONTEXT PARSING AND INCIDENT MODEL CONSTRUCTION FOR SOFTWARE SUPPORT - A context analyzer may be configured to receive, from a software support system associated with a software application associated with multiple architectural layers, an incident report associated with a software incident of the software application. The incident report may include context information associated with the software application at the time of the software incident, the context information being received from a plurality of context providers. An incident model generator may be configured to determine, from parsed context information output by a first context parser and a second context parser, a plurality of entities and links therebetween associated with the software application, and configured to display an incident model that includes the entities and the links and that provides access to the parsed context information on an entity-specific basis. | 03-04-2010 |
20110131587 | Systems and methods for providing a generic audit trail service - Systems, methods, and computer readable media are disclosed for providing a generic audit trail service for a plurality of business objects, at least two of the plurality of business objects being of different business object types. In one implementation, a computer-implemented method is provided that comprises receiving, at an application server, a notification of a change associated with at least one of the plurality of business objects, and requesting, in response to receiving the notification, auditing data from the at least one business object, the at least one business object implementing an auditable function set to interface with the application server. Further, the method includes receiving, through a called method of the auditable function set, the requested auditing data, and storing the received auditing data in a repository. | 06-02-2011 |
20120030515 | USE OF ATTRIBUTE SETS FOR TEST ENTITY IDENTIFICATION DURING SOFTWARE TESTING - An attribute collector may collect an attribute set for each test entity of a plurality of test entities associated with a software test executed in a software environment. An attribute analysis signal handler may receive an attribute analysis signal associated with a change in the software environment, and a view generator may provide an attribute-based view associated with an affected attribute set associated with the change, the attribute-based view identifying an affected test entity that is affected by the change. | 02-02-2012 |
20120066218 | SOLUTION SEARCH FOR SOFTWARE SUPPORT - A search middleware may be used to receive search requests regarding a software incident associated with a software application. The search requests may be populated with attribute values determined based on context data associated with the software application and collected in association with the software incident. The search requests may be dispatched to a subset of a plurality of solution repositories, even if the solution repositories have different interfaces and/or search technologies. The resulting solution documents retrieved from the solution repositories may be compiled for presentation on a solution search interface. | 03-15-2012 |
20120254869 | Computer-Based System Management by a Separate Managing System - In an embodiment, a method is presented for providing managerial access to a managed system. In this method, a definition of a procedure to be performed on the managed system is received into a managing system. A request to perform the procedure is received into the managing system from a user of the managing system. The procedure is performed in response to the request. The performing of the procedure includes initiating a plurality of functions resident in the managed system. Results indicative of the performing of the procedure are presented to the user of the managing system. | 10-04-2012 |
20130318402 | Software Systems Testing Interface - A system includes a manager module that oversees execution of a business process by a test module. The business process includes a plurality of process steps, and the test module comprises a plurality of test cases, a plurality of software test tools, and a plurality of parameters. The test module is configured to permit a user to select a particular process step of the business process, to select a particular test case for the particular process step, to select a particular software test tool for the particular test case, and to select a particular parameter flow for the particular software test tool. The test module is also configured to execute the selected process step using the selected test case, the selected software test tool, and the selected parameter flow. | 11-28-2013 |
