Abstract

A system, method, and computer-readable medium, including adding a dedicated data storage structure to a first set container, the added dedicated data storage structure to store business objects(BOs) constructed based on data foundation fragments injected into a data foundation of a semantic layer universe; generating, automatically, a BO based on a data foundation of the semantic layer universe; storing the automatically generated BO in the added storage structure and storing the added data storage structure in the first set container.

Claims

1. A system comprising:

a memory storing processor-executable instructions; and

a processor to execute the processor-executable instructions to cause the system to;

add a dedicated data storage structure to a first set container, the added dedicated data storage structure to store business objects(BOs) constructed based on data foundation fragments injected into a data foundation of a semantic layer universe;

generate, automatically, a BO based on a data foundation of the semantic layer universe;

store the automatically generated BO in the added storage structure; and

store the added data storage structure in the first set container.

2. The system of claim 1, further comprising:

determining whether the dedicated data storage structure exists in the first set container; and

in an instance the dedicated data storage structure does not exist, creating the dedicated data storage structure anew.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the dedicated data storage structure acts as a root directory structure for the automatically generated BO.

4. The system of claim 1, further comprising:

defining a user interface aspect to surface and customize at least one BO created on a display device;

generating the user interface aspect, as defined; and

storing the generated user interface aspect in the added data structure hosted by the first set container.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein an owner of the customer table defines one or more subjects and the dedicated data storage structure includes a folder for each subject.

6. The system of claim 1, further comprising generating one BO per column for each subject table, and storing each generated BO in a dedicated subject folder.

7. The system of claim 6, further comprising generating a filter to constrain query results based on the BO stored in the dedicated data storage structure, a description of the filter being saved in the dedicated data storage structure.

8. A computer-implemented method for authoring extensions to a semantic layer universe, the method comprising:

adding a dedicated data storage structure to a first set container, the added dedicated data storage structure to store business objects(BOs) constructed based on data foundation fragments injected into a data foundation of a semantic layer universe;

generating, automatically, a BO based on a data foundation of the semantic layer universe;

storing the automatically generated BO in the added storage structure; and

storing the added data storage structure in the first set container.

9. The method of claim 8, further comprising:

determining whether the dedicated data storage structure exists in the first set container; and

in an instance the dedicated data storage structure does not exist, creating the dedicated data storage structure anew.

10. The method of claim 8, wherein the dedicated data storage structure acts as a root directory structure for the automatically generated BO.

11. The method of claim 8, further comprising:

defining a user interface aspect to surface and customize at least one BO created on a display device;

generating the user interface aspect, as designed and p1 storing the generated user interface aspect in the added data structure hosted by the first set container.

12. The method of claim 8, wherein an owner of the customer table defines one or more subjects and the dedicated data storage structure includes a folder for each subject.

13. The method of claim 12, further comprising generating one BO per column for each subject table and storing each generated BO in a dedicated subject folder.

14. The method of claim 8, further comprising generating a filter to constrain query results based on the BO stored in the dedicated data storage structure, a description of the filter being saved in the dedicated data storage structure.

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium having executable instructions stored therein, the medium comprising:

instructions to add a dedicated data storage structure to a first set container, the added dedicated data storage structure to store business objects(BOs) constructed based on data foundation fragments injected into a data foundation of a semantic layer universe;

instructions to generate, automatically, a BO based on a data foundation of the semantic layer universe; and

instructions to store the automatically generated BO in the added storage structure; and

instructions to store the added data storage structure in the first set container.

16. The medium of claim 15, further comprising:

instructions to determine whether the dedicated data storage structure exists in the first set container; and

instructions to, in an instance the dedicated data storage structure does not exist, create the dedicated data storage structure anew.

17. The medium of claim 15, wherein the dedicated data storage structure acts as a root directory structure for the automatically generated BO.

18. The medium of claim 15, further comprising:

instructions to define a user interface aspect to surface and customize at least one BO created on a display device;

instructions to generate the user interface aspect, as defined; and

instructions to store the generated user interface aspect in the added data storage structure.

19. The medium of claim 15, wherein an owner of the customer table defines one or more subjects and the dedicated data storage structure includes a folder for each subject.

20. The medium of claim 15, further comprising generating one BO per column and storing each generated BO in a dedicated subject folder.
