Generic utilization of on-premise query frameworks by new on-demand applications

Abstract:

The present disclosure describes methods, systems, and computer program products for allowing reuse of existing query frameworks to build new on-demand services. One design-time computer-implemented method includes transmitting a request for available reports to a report repository which is transmitted to a generic report provider on a backend enterprise reporting planning (ERP) system, transmitting a request to a report catalog user interface for a selected report returned by the generic report provider, transmitting a request for metadata to the generic report provider. One run-time computer-implemented method includes receiving a data request for bound result set elements provided by on-demand services, checking authorization for access using an authorizations repository, requesting routing information for applicable back-end ERP systems from a report repository, routing requests to a generic report provider of an appropriate backend ERP system, and triggering a report execution using a corresponding adapter for a query framework on the ERP system.
