Consistent interface for flag and tag

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 a flag and/or a tag 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 instances of a user-specific categorized marker with an assignment to a business object instance, 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 querying information about flags that represent instances of a user-specific categorized marker with assignments to business object instances, 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, a flag query message entity; andat the first hierarchical level in the first message package, a flag package including, at a second at the first hierarchical level in the first message package, a flag entity, where the flag entity includes, at a third hierarchical level in the first message package, a creation identity entity, a universally unique identifier, an assigned business object node reference, a category code, a usage context reference, system administrative data and a key; program code for processing the first message based on the hierarchical organization of the first message package, where processing the first message includes unpacking the first message package based on the hierarchical organization of the first message package and the first message package's deriviation from the common business object model, wherein the particular hierarchical organization of the first message package is used at least in part to identify the purpose of the first message; 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.
