1. A method of exposing a business application error, comprising:
- receiving a hierarchical model representing the business application comprising a plurality of configuration objects;
detecting an error in a configuration object among the plurality of configuration objects;
flagging the configuration object as having the error;
flagging a second configuration object that is related to the configuration object at a higher hierarchical level than the configuration object according to the model; and
presenting a first indication of the error in association with the configuration object and a second indication of the error in association with the second configuration object.

Abstract
Embodiments consistent with invention detect and display errors in a business application by analyzing a hierarchical model of the business application that enforces the hirarchical structure of configuration objects that are used by the business application. Detected errors are marked for the configuration object containing the error and propagated up through the hierarchical structure of the business application model. A display of the hierarchical structure of the business application model with error indicators is useful for efficiently finding and correcting the errors in the actual business application.

9. A method of hierarchically exposing a business application error comprising:
-
creating a hierarchical model of the business application in a language recognized by an integrated development environment, wherein the model comprises a plurality of configuration objects;
loading the model into the workspace of the integrated development environment;
detecting an error in a first object among the plurality of configuration objects using the integrated development environment;
flagging the first configuration object and a second configuration object that is related to the first configuration object at a higher hierarchical level according to the model; and
displaying a representation of the model using the integrated development environment, wherein the displayed representation indicates the error in association with the first configuration object and the second configuration object. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
