Dynamically joined fast search views for business objects

摘要

According to some embodiments, an anchor transactional view may be defined for at least one business object data structure. The anchor transactional may have a plurality of anchor fields, each anchor field representing a data source and being associated with a field of an anchor search view. An indication of at least one extension field to the anchor search view may be received. The anchor search view and at least one extension field may represent, for example, a virtual fast search infrastructure view. Responsive to the received indication of the at least one extension field, an additional view may be dynamically joined at runtime to the anchor transactional view. The additional view may have at least one additional field, and each additional field may be associated with one of the extension fields.

1. A computer implemented method, comprising:
defining an anchor transactional view for at least one business object data structure, the anchor transactional view being a standard pre-defined search view of stored data within physical tables of a database, the anchor transactional view having a plurality of anchor fields, each anchor field representing a data source, each anchor field being associated with a field of an anchor search view representing underlying business object nodes of a data source connected by database join functions; receiving a search request from a client, the search request including an indication of including an additional at least one extension field to the anchor search view, the anchor search view and at least one extension field representing a virtual fast search infrastructure view of the stored data within the physical tables of the database; and responsive to the received indication of the at least one extension field, adding an additional view of a data structure to the anchor transaction view by dynamically executing a database join at runtime, the additional view having at least one additional field, wherein each additional field is associated with one of the extension fields.
