Implementation system for business applications
View Patent ↗The system comprises a man-machine interface for controlling the application, a server running the application, a server hosting the service and a server for automatically calling the service, including memory resources containing the data describing the service, receive the data related to the service and transform that data so that it can be processed in the application server, all of which under the control of the man-machine interface and the application server.
1. A system for addressing incompatibility between services and applications, the system comprising:
a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable code, the computer-readable medium comprising:
an intermediation module configured to receive a first call from an application and retrieve from a directory a reference to a service associated with the application;
a mapper module, communicatively coupled to the intermediation module, to retrieve from the directory ( 1 ) service metadata describing the service and ( 2 ) business metadata describing business on the application, the mapper module generating, based at least in part on a list of the business metadata subject to an application query, a mapping table that maps the business metadata to the service metadata for providing a response to the application query, the mapper module determining if an incompatibility exists between a business requirement associated with the application and the service;
an execution module, communicatively coupled to the mapper module, to select and execute an interface of the service based on the mapping of the business metadata and the service metadata; and
a rule engine, communicatively coupled to the mapper module, configured to create an execution program based on the mapping of the service metadata and the business metadata; and
wherein the execution module selects the interface of the service based on the execution program, the execution program comprises data describing a first organization of the first call to the service and a second call to a second service, the rule engine is configured to create the execution program based on a hierarchical link between the service and the second service, and the execution module selects the interface of the service by translating a part of the execution program into the interface of the service.
2. The system of claim 1 wherein the service metadata includes a description of a structure of the service.
3. The system of claim 1 wherein the service metadata includes a method for creating a structure of the service.
4. The system of claim 1 wherein the service metadata includes a description of an entity useful for providing the service.
5. The system of claim 1 wherein the rule engine is configured to create the execution program based on a configuration of the system.
6. The system of claim 1 wherein tile execution program comprises data describing a second organization of a plurality of calls to the service.
7. The system of claim 1 wherein the execution module is configured to select a driver for a server hosting the service and execute the interface through the driver.
8. A method implemented by a processor for addressing incompatibility between services and applications, the method comprising:
the processor:
receiving a first call from an application;
retrieving from a directory a reference to a service associated with the application;
retrieving service metadata describing the service;
retrieving business metadata describing business on the application;
generating, based at least in part on a list of the business metadata subject to an application query, a mapping table that maps the business metadata to the service metadata for providing a response to the application query;
determining if an incompatibility exists between a business requirement associated with the application and the service;
selecting and executing an interface of the service based on the mapping of the business metadata and the service metadata; and
creating an execution program based on the mapping of the business metadata to the service metadata; and
wherein the selection of the interface on the service based on the mapping comprises selecting the interface based on the execution program, the execution program comprises data describing a first organization of the first call to the service and a second call to a second service, creating the execution program comprises creating the execution program based on a hierarchical link between the service and the second service, and the selection of the interface of the service comprises translating a part of the execution program into the interface of the service.
9. The method of claim 8 wherein the service metadata includes a description of a structure of the service.
10. The method of claim 8 wherein the service metadata includes a method for creating a structure of the service.
11. The method of claim 8 wherein the service metadata includes a description of an entity useful for providing the service.
12. The method of claim 8 wherein creating the execution program is based on a configuration of a system that executes the method.
13. The method of claim 8 wherein the execution program comprises data describing a second organization of a plurality or calls to the service.
14. The method of claim 8 wherein executing the interface comprises selecting a driver for a server hosting the service and executing the interface through the driver.
