Determining semantic information of business applications

摘要

Various embodiments of systems and methods to determine semantic information of a plurality of business applications are described herein. In one aspect, a selection of user interface elements of a first business application and a second business application of the plurality of business applications are received. Further, data processing paths to a business object field and a corresponding database table field associated with the user interface elements are identified. Furthermore, semantic information of the plurality of business applications is determined by grouping the identified data processing paths, which can be used for applications such as business application integration, business data migration and the like.

主权项

1. An article of manufacture including a non-transitory computer readable storage medium to physically store instructions, which when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:
receive a selection of a first user interface element from a first user interface of a first business application; generate a prompt to provide an option to a user to select a second user interface element from a second user interface of a second business application as analogous to the first user interface element from the first user interface, wherein the first user interface and the second user interface are two separate user interfaces on the computer and the first user interface is generated from the first business application and the second user interface is generated from the second business application and wherein the received selection of the first user interface element of the first business application comprises receiving a selection of a predetermined key combination for determining semantic information of the first business application and the second business application; when a selection of the second user interface element is received as analogous to the first user interface element through the generated prompt, perform the operations comprising:
identifying data processing paths to a business object field and at least one corresponding database table field associated with the selected first user interface element and the second user interface element; andgrouping the identified data processing paths associated with the first user interface element and the second user interface element to determine the semantic information of the first business application and the second business application; and when the selection is not received through the generated prompt, enable tagging the user interface elements of the first business application and the second business application with additional business information.
