DEPENDENCY HANDLING FOR SOFTWARE EXTENSIONS

摘要

Adaptation objects comprising software extensions for applications of an enterprise system may be developed in a test system. Dependency data for an adaptation object may be generated based on a reference, in the adaptation object, to at least one other adaptation object in the test system. If the adaptation object is assigned to a collection of adaptation objects for export to the enterprise system then checks are performed on the adaptation object based on the dependency data. One check may be for determining whether the at least one other adaptation object is: part of the collection or has already been exported and is unchanged since last being exported. If this check is failed a user interface is provided for: adding a latest version of the at least one adaptation object to the collection; or removing the reference to the at least one other adaptation object from the adaptation object.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
accessing, in a first computer system, an adaptation object associated with an application in a second computer system, the adaptation object comprising a software extension for the application; generating dependency data based on a reference, in the adaptation object, to at least one other adaptation object in the first computer system; assigning the adaptation object to a collection of adaptation objects for export from the first computer system; selecting the collection for export from the first computer system; performing checks on the adaptation object based on the dependency data; and exporting the collection from the first computer system based on passing the checks.
