Systems and methods for hosting variable schema data such as dynamic tables and columns in a fixed physical database schema. Standard objects, such as tables are provided for use by multiple tenants or organizations in a multi-tenant database system. Each organization may add or define custom fields for inclusion in a standard object. Custom fields for multiple tenants are stored in a single field within the object data structure, and this single field may contain different data types for each tenant. Indexing columns are also provided, wherein a tenant may designate a field for indexing. Data values for designated fields are copied to an index column, and each index column may include multiple data types. Each organization may also define custom objects including custom fields and indexing columns. Custom objects for multiple tenants are stored in a single custom object data structure. The primary key values for the single custom object table are globally unique, but also include an object-specific identifier which may be re-used among different entities.

Custom entities and fields in a multi-tenant database system

A computer implemented method of developing computer applications, the method comprising providing to multiple users access, over a network, to information on a data center, with a subgroup of the users having access to a sub-portion of the information that is different from the sub-portion accessible by the remaining tenants of the subgroup; and communicating with the data center over the network employing a computer system associated with a user of the sub-group to establish application functionality with the sub-portion that may be accessed, over the network, by additional parties authorized by the user. Also disclosed is a machine-readable medium and a data center, both of which facilitate carrying-out the steps of the method.

Systems and methods for exporting, publishing, browsing and installing on-demand applications in a multi-tenant database environment

Systems and techniques to facilitate construction of software applications may use patterns that represent generic processes, objects, user interfaces, and content. In general, in one implementation, the technique includes identifying requirements for a desired application and identifying pattern types corresponding to the identified requirements. The pattern types may be selected from process patterns, user interface patterns, and generic object patterns. Patterns that best match the identified requirements may be selected from a set of available patterns, and the selected patterns may be configured according to the identified requirements to produce an application.

Pattern-based software design

A middleware services layer for a platform system for a mobile terminal for a wireless telecommunications system, the platform system including a mobile terminal platform assembly having a software services component, and application software loaded, installed and run in said mobile terminal platform assembly. The middleware services layer comprises at least one application programming interface (API) for providing access to the mobile terminal platform assembly for loading, installing and running application software in said mobile terminal platform assembly; and, at the same time, isolates the platform assembly from the applications via the at least one API.

Methods, systems, and computer products are provided for exposing the programming of an application user interface to allow modification of the associated user interface to include adding, removing, disabling, enabling and repurposing new or existing user interface components.

Markup based extensibility for user interfaces

The present invention discloses a system and method supporting high-level configuration of Business Object Types during development of an application. More specifically an application developer is supported with predefined pieces of functionality and meta-data, so called Aspect Types, during the configuration of Business Object Types. An Aspect Type may operate across one or more Business Object Types depending on the functionality of the Aspect Type, e.g. an Aspect Type “Relation” Aspect Type comprises functionality that provides for connection between two or more Business Objects. The functionality comprised in an Aspect Type may be configured with an Event Type so runtime an Event Instance of the Event Type may be triggered either by the functionality of the configured Aspect Type or by e.g. a user of the application.

A system and method supporting configurable object definitions

The customization system receives an application model that contains one or more elements stored in a database. The customization system receives a modification to an element of the application model. The customization system stores the modification to the element separately from the application model such that the application model is accessible in either a modified or unmodified state. Thus, multiple third parties can make changes to the same application model elements and business logic without causing conflicts with each other. In addition, updates and patches to the enterprise resource planning system can be applied with less likelihood that the customizations will be negatively affected.

Merged view of application customizations

A system and method directed to capturing the structure of data models using entity patterns is provided wherein an entity pattern is an abstraction, for example in the MICROSOFT BUSINESS FRAMEWORK® (MBF), that surfaces in the model editor of the framework at the root level and consists of one or more entity roles that together define a structural pattern of a model. The entity pattern may be considered as an uber-model, or a model template for a model. Prescriptive rules are added to the design of entities, required properties and relations to other entities (entity roles). Applications of the entity patterns are validated at design time. The runtime framework supports any applied pattern and invokes the pattern specific code. It is a general advantage that the runtime operation is model driven and interprets the model data at runtime. The application and usage of a pattern is part of the model of the application/software program.

A significant challenge in modern computing is to provide a user interface that as starting point takes the end user's goals. A task-oriented user interface addresses this issue and presents and guides the end-user through useful and relevant tasks that map directly to the tasks the end-uer needs to carry out. The present invention discloses a method and a system for automatic generation of a task sequence by use of a computer system. A generic task sequence is configured for a variety of business objects at design time. At runtime the task sequence is initiated by a task presented in the user interface (UI) to a user of the application. An input in response hereto makes the computer system start querying whether the elements of the relevant Business Object are in a state where they can complete the task. If not so, identify by use of the computer system what needs to be completed in order to bring element in a state where it can participate. The result of the query is obtained by functionality available on the element.

An auto-generated task sequence

The present invention provides flexible implementation of business logic in a business application. General and reusable business logic is implemented such that customized solutions for business applications are easier to develop. Binding properties in business entities to various logic implementations is utilized to reuse the business logic. Parameters can be set up in metadata that control the behavior of the business logic implementations.
