Abstract

A method, a system, and computer-readable medium for processing of data are disclosed. An acknowledgement is received to store business object data. Based on the acknowledgement, an indication that the business object data is stored in a repository is generated. Processing of the business object data to enable storage in the repository continues while generating such indication.

Claims (44)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, at a processor, a message to store business object data;

determining, at the processor, that the business object data is not consistent;

inhibiting, at the processor when the business object data is not consistent, the business object data from being stored in a repository;

correcting, at the processor when the business object data is not consistent, the business object data to generate business object data that is consistent, wherein the business object data is consistent when at least one of a name, an address, or a payment information is valid;

generating, at the processor when the business object data is consistent, a storage indication based on the message, wherein the storage indication represents that the business object data is completely stored in the repository;

sending, at the processor when the business object data is consistent, the generated storage indication before the business object data is completely stored in the repository, wherein the sending is performed without waiting for the business object data to be completely stored; and

proceeding, at the processor after the sending, to process the business object data for storage in the repository.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the receiving the message further comprises:

determining, at the processor, that the processed business object data is consistent.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein an enterprise service framework is configured to determine consistency of the processed business object data.

4. The method according to claim 2 , wherein determining that the processed business object data is consistent is made prior to the proceeding to process the business object data for storage in the repository.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the proceeding to process the business object data for storage in the repository is performed without an interaction from a user.

6. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one programmable processor, cause the at least one programmable processor to perform operations comprising:

receiving a message to store business object data;

determining, that the business object data is not consistent;

inhibiting, when the business object data is not consistent, the business object data from being stored in a repository;

correcting, when the business object data is not consistent, the business object data to generate business object data that is consistent, wherein the business object data is consistent when at least one of a name, an address, or a payment information is valid;

generating, when the business object data is consistent, a storage indication based on the message, wherein the storage indication represents that the business object data is completely stored in the repository;

sending, when the business object data is consistent, the generated storage indication before the business object data is completely stored in the repository, wherein the sending is performed without waiting for the business object data to be completely stored; and

proceeding, after the sending, to process the business object data for storage in the repository.

7. The computer program product according to claim 6 , wherein the receiving the message further comprises:

determining that the processed business object data is consistent.

8. The computer program product according to claim 7 , wherein an enterprise service framework is configured to determine consistency of the processed business object data.

9. The computer program product according to claim 7 , wherein determining that the processed business object data is consistent is made prior to the proceeding to process the business object data for storage in the repository.

10. The computer program product according to claim 6 , wherein the proceeding to process the business object data for storage in the repository is performed without an interaction from a user.

11. A system comprising:

at least one programmable processor; and

a machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one programmable processor, cause the at least one programmable processor to perform operations comprising:

receiving a message to store business object data;

determining that the business object data is not consistent;

inhibiting, when the business object data is not consistent, the business object data from being stored in a repository;

correcting, when the business object data is not consistent, the business object data to generate business object data that is consistent, wherein the business object data is consistent when at least one of a name, an address, or a payment information is valid;

generating, when the business object data is consistent, a storage indication based on the message, wherein the storage indication represents that the business object data is completely stored in the repository;

sending, when the business object data is consistent, the generated storage indication before the business object data is completely stored in the repository, wherein the sending is performed without waiting for the business object data to be completely stored; and

proceeding, after the sending, to process the business object data for storage in the repository.

12. The system according to claim 11 , wherein the receiving the message further comprises:

determining that the processed business object data is consistent.

13. The system according to claim 12 , wherein an enterprise service framework is configured to determine consistency of the processed business object data.

14. The system according to claim 12 , wherein determining that the processed business object data is consistent is made prior to the proceeding to process the business object data for storage in the repository.

15. The system according to claim 11 , wherein the proceeding to process the business object data for storage in the repository is performed without an interaction from a user.

16. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the business object data is organized to represent a business task, wherein the business task includes one or more of a purchase order, a sales order, a line item, an invoice, a customer contact information, or a customer payment account.

17. The computer program product according to claim 6 , wherein the business object data is organized to represent a business task, wherein the business task includes one or more of a purchase order, a sales order, a line item, an invoice, a customer contact information, or a customer payment account.

18. The system according to claim 11 , wherein the business object data is organized to represent a business task, wherein the business task includes one or more of a purchase order, a sales order, a line item, an invoice, a customer contact information, or a customer payment account.
