Managing Consistent Interfaces for Maintenance Order Business Objects Across Heterogeneous Systems
First Claim
1. A computer readable medium including program code for providing a message-based interface for performing a maintenance order service, the service exposing at least one service as defined in a service registry, wherein upon execution the program code executes in an environment of computer systems providing message-based services and comprises:
- program code for receiving, from a service consumer, a first message for providing the interfaces that include the service operations used for communication between client and maintenance order applications;
program code for invoking a maintenance order business object, wherein the business object is a logically centralized, semantically disjointed object for describing the work to be done in a maintenance work order cycle, and comprises data logically organized as;
a maintenance order root node;
a cost settlement rule subordinate node;
a party subordinate node; and
an operation subordinate node; and
program code for initiating transmission of a message to a heterogeneous second application, executing in the environment of computer systems providing message-based services, based on the data in the maintenance order business object, the message comprising a maintenance order message entity, a message header package, a maintenance order package, and a log package.

Abstract
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 maintenance order business object.

2. A computer readable medium including program code for providing a message-based interface for performing a maintenance order service, the service exposing at least one service as defined in a service registry, wherein upon execution the program code executes in an environment of computer systems providing message-based services and comprises:
-
program code for initiating transmission of a message to a heterogeneous second application, executing in the environment of computer systems providing message-based services, based on data in a maintenance order business object invoked by the second application, wherein the business object is a logically centralized, semantically disjointed object for describing the work to be done in a maintenance work order cycle and comprises data logically organized as; a maintenance order root node; a cost settlement rule subordinate node; a party subordinate node; and an operation subordinate node; and the message comprising a maintenance order message entity, a message header package, a maintenance order package, and a log package; and program code for receiving a second message from the second application, the second message associated with the invoked maintenance order business object and in response to the first message.

3. A distributed system operating in a landscape of computer systems providing message-based services, the system processing business objects involving providing the interfaces that include the service operations used for communication between client and maintenance order applications and comprising:
-
memory storing a business object repository storing a plurality of business objects, wherein each business object is a logically centralized, semantically disjointed object of a particular business object type and at least one of the business objects for describing the work to be done in a maintenance work order cycle, and comprises data logically organized as; a maintenance order root node; a cost settlement rule subordinate node; a party subordinate node; and an operation subordinate node; and a graphical user interface remote from the memory for presenting data associated with an invoked instance of the maintenance order business object, the interface comprising computer readable instructions embodied on tangible media.
