Consistent interface for entitlement product

摘要

A business object model, which reflects data that is used during a given business transaction, is utilized to generate interfaces. This business object model facilitates commercial transactions by providing consistent interfaces that are suitable for use across industries, across businesses, and across different departments within a business during a business transaction. In some operations, software creates, updates, or otherwise processes information related to an entitlement product business object.

主权项

1. A non-transitory computer readable medium including program code for providing a message-based interface for exchanging information about entitlement products, the medium comprising:
program code for receiving via a message-based interface derived from a common business object model, where the common business object model includes business objects having relationships that enable derivation of message-based interfaces and message packages, the message-based interface exposing at least one service as defined in a service registry and from a heterogeneous application executing in an environment of computer systems providing message-based services, a first message for requesting maintaining a bundle of entitlement products, each entitlement product being a sellable product that describes a right to use a material or a service, the first message including a first message package hierarchically organized in memory based on and derived from the common business object model, the first message package including:
at a first hierarchical level in the first message package, an entitlement product bundle maintain request sync message entity; andat the first hierarchical level in the first message package, an entitlement product package including, at a second hierarchical level in the first message package, at least one entitlement product entity, wherein each entitlement product entity includes, at a third hierarchical level in the first message package, an object node sender technical identifier (ID), a change state ID, and an internal ID, and wherein each entitlement product entity further includes, at the third hierarchical level in the first message package, at least one of: a description package, a detail package, and a quantity conversion package, wherein the description package includes, at a fourth hierarchical level in the first message package, at least one description entity, wherein the detail package includes, at the fourth hierarchical level in the first message package, at least one detail entity, and wherein the quantity conversion package includes, at the fourth hierarchical level in the first message package, at least one quantity conversion entity; and program code for sending a second message to the heterogeneous application responsive to the first message, where the second message includes a second message package derived from the common business object model to provide consistent semantics with the first message package.
