REAL-TIME CORRELATION OF DATA MODEL DATA

1 . A computer implemented method, comprising:

obtaining, by operation of a hardware processor, a data model including structured data items for a business scenario, wherein executing an instance of the business scenario involves contributions of two or more computer systems;

generating an instance of the business scenario;

obtaining a modification of one or more data items of the data model relevant for a status of the business scenario;

triggered by the modification of one or more data items of the data model, determining that the received modification is relevant for a status of the business scenario;

triggered by the modification of the one or more data items of the data model, generating an event data item being indicative of a status of the business scenario; and

storing the event data item in a database object to be provided to a user via a user interface of a business scenario monitoring application.

2 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the data model and the database object including the event data item are stored in an in-memory database.

3 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the relevance for a status of the business scenario is determined by evaluating a condition having the modified one or more data items as input.

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

obtaining a further modification of one or more second data items of the data model relevant for a status of the business scenario;

triggered by the further modification of one or more second data items of the data model, determining that the received further modification is relevant for a status of the business scenario;

triggered by the further modification of the one or more second data items of the data model, generating a second event data item being indicative of a status of the business scenario; and

storing the second event data item in a database object to be provided to a user via a user interface of a business scenario monitoring application.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the obtained modification originates from the user interface of the business scenario monitoring application.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the modification of one or more data items is a create operation, an update operation, or a delete operation, or a combination of two or more of these operations.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more data items of the data model are stored in one or more data tables referenced by the data model.

8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the one or more data tables each include a primary key and a business scenario instance identifier identifying the corresponding business scenario instance.

9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the event data item being indicative of a status of the business scenario is correlated to the scenario instance by using the scenario instance identifier.

10 . The method of claim 9 , wherein storing the event data item in a database object includes storing information indicative of the corresponding scenario instance.

11 . The method of claim 7 , wherein code encoding the processes for determining that the received modification is relevant for a status of the business scenario is stored in an in-memory database object.

12 . The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving a modification of one or more data items of the data model includes receiving an OData service request.

13 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a read request from the user interface of the business scenario monitoring application;

providing status data based on the event data item to the user interface of the business scenario monitoring application for display to a user.

14 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the write request is triggered by the modification of one or more data items of the data model.

15 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the business scenario includes one or more predetermined phases, and a status of the business scenario includes that a predetermined phase has been started or that a predetermined phase has been completed.

16 . The method of claim 15 , wherein each phase of the one or more phases involves a contribution of one of the two or more computer systems.

17 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving data from at least one of the two or more computer systems;

storing the received data in a database object.

18 . The method of claim 17 , wherein determining that the received modification is relevant for a status of the business scenario includes evaluating data received from the least one of the two or more computer systems.

19 . A computer readable medium storing instructions thereon which when executed by a processor cause the processor to:

obtain a data model including structured data items for a business scenario, wherein executing an instance of the business scenario involves contributions of two or more computer systems;

generate an instance of the business scenario;

obtain a modification of one or more data items of the data model relevant for a status of the business scenario;

triggered by the modification of one or more data items of the data model, determine that the received modification is relevant for a status of the business scenario;

triggered by the modification of the one or more data items of the data model, generate an event data item being indicative of a status of the business scenario; and

store the event data item in a database object to be provided to a user via a user interface of a business scenario monitoring application.

20 . A system comprising:

one or more processors; and

a computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

obtaining a data model including structured data items for a business scenario, wherein executing an instance of the business scenario involves contributions of two or more computer systems;

generating an instance of the business scenario;

obtaining a modification of one or more data items of the data model relevant for a status of the business scenario;

triggered by the modification of one or more data items of the data model, determining that the received modification is relevant for a status of the business scenario;

triggered by the modification of the one or more data items of the data model, generating an event data item being indicative of a status of the business scenario; and

storing the event data item in a database object to be provided to a user via a user interface of a business scenario monitoring application.
