Method and architecture for providing data-change alerts to external applications via a push service
First Claim
1. A method to provide data-change alerts from a data system to an external application, comprising:
- alert-enabling selected user interface (UI) objects corresponding to an application used to access the data system; and
alerting the external application of changes in data system data corresponding to the UI objects that are alert-enabled.

Abstract
Method and software architecture for providing data-change alerts corresponding to data changes in a data system to external (of the data system) applications. A computer user interface is provided to enable a user to identify user interface (UI) objects corresponding to a user interface of an application used to access the data system to provide data-change alert support for. For example, the UI objects may comprise screens, views, applets, fields, and columns. Based on the alert-enabled UI objects, data-change alert triggers are generated to monitor for data-change events (e.g., inserts, updates, and deletes) that cause changes to data in the data system corresponding to those alert-enabled UI objects. In response to data changes in the data system corresponding to alert-enabled UI objects, appropriate triggers are executed to initiate generation of data-change alerts comprising data values that have been changed. The data-change alerts are then pushed to the external application.

23. A machine readable medium having instructions stored thereon, which when executed provide data-change alerts from a data system to an external application by performing the operations of:
-
generating data by which a computer user interface may be rendered to enable a user to identify user interface (UI) objects corresponding to a user interface of a data system application to provide data-change alert support for, said identified UI objects being alert-enabled;
generating data-change event triggers to monitor for changes in data in the data system corresponding to the UI objects that are alert-enabled;
and in response thereto, generating a data-change alert and submitting the data-change alert to be sent to the external application, said data-change alert comprising data corresponding to at least one alert-enabled UI object that has changed. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)
