QUERY GENERATOR

1 . A computer-implemented method comprising:

receiving an identifier associated with a first query for obtaining summary information associated with one or more business objects;

receiving an indicator requesting parameters for creating a second query associated with the first query and operable for obtaining detailed information associated with the one or more business objects;

executing, using one or more processors, the first query associated with the received identifier to identify the summary information;

creating, using metadata associated with the one or more business objects, the parameters; and

providing the summary information and the parameters in response to the received identifier and indicator.

2 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the identifier is a technical name associated with an information provider and identified by the identifier.

3 . The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , wherein the summary information is based on predefined dimensions and key figures associated with the information provider.

4 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the second query is associated with a view describing a layout of the detailed information.

5 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the parameters include an executable instance of the second query.

6 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the parameters include building blocks usable to formulate the second query.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein executing the first query includes, depending on at least a source of the first query, one of:

providing a first result set that includes the summary information when an API is used for executing the first query; and

providing a second result set that includes the summary information and the detailed information when the first query is executed in a native environment.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the parameters are represented in a multi-dimensional expression language.

9 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving the second query;

executing the second query; and

providing the detailed information in response to the received second query.

10 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

providing parameters for creating a third query associated with the second query and operable for obtaining additional detailed information associated with the one or more business objects;

receiving the third query;

executing the third query; and

providing the additional detailed information in response to the received third query.

11 . A computer-readable media, the computer-readable media comprising computer-readable instructions embodied on tangible, non-transitory media, the instructions operable when executed by at least one computer to:

receive an identifier associated with a first query for obtaining summary information associated with one or more business objects;

receive an indicator requesting parameters for creating a second query associated with the first query and operable for obtaining detailed information associated with the one or more business objects;

execute, using one or more processors, the first query associated with the received identifier to identify the summary information;

create, using metadata associated with the one or more business objects, the parameters; and

provide the summary information and the parameters in response to the received identifier and indicator.

12 . The computer-readable media of claim 11 , wherein the identifier is a technical name associated with an information provider and identified by the identifier.

13 . The computer-readable media of claim 12 , wherein the summary information is based on predefined dimensions and key figures associated with the information provider.

14 . The computer-readable media of claim 11 , wherein the second query is associated with a view describing a layout of the detailed information.

15 . The computer-readable media of claim 11 , wherein the parameters include an executable instance of the second query.

16 . A computer system, comprising:

memory operable to store content, including static and dynamic content; and

at least one hardware processor interoperably coupled to the memory and operable to perform instructions to:

receive an identifier associated with a first query for obtaining summary information associated with one or more business objects;

receive an indicator requesting parameters for creating a second query associated with the first query and operable for obtaining detailed information associated with the one or more business objects;

execute, using one or more processors, the first query associated with the received identifier to identify the summary information;

create, using metadata associated with the one or more business objects, the parameters; and

provide the summary information and the parameters in response to the received identifier and indicator.

17 . The computer system of claim 16 , wherein the identifier is a technical name associated with an information provider and identified by the identifier.

18 . The computer system of claim 17 , wherein the summary information is based on predefined dimensions and key figures associated with the information provider.

19 . The computer system of claim 16 , wherein the second query is associated with a view describing a layout of the detailed information.

20 . The computer system of claim 16 , wherein the parameters include an executable instance of the second query.
