System and method for supporting software
First Claim
1. An article comprising software for supporting a business application, the software comprising computer-readable instructions stored on computer-readable, non-transient media and operable when executed to:
- receive error information and dynamic context information from a remote business application, the dynamic context information at least partially identifying a particular execution point of the business application and a portion of the business data associated with that execution point;
present a search interface to a support user utilizing one or more search criteria that is automatically populated using the received information; and
upon request of the support user, generate an execution environment for the support user that simulates the remote business application execution using the received error information and dynamic context information, the execution environment providing the support user a simulated, interactive visualization of the remote business application including the execution point where an error associated with the error information occurred.

Abstract
This disclosure provides various embodiments of software for supporting a business application. In one aspect, the software receives error information and dynamic context information from a remote business application, where the dynamic context information may partially identify the particular execution point of the business application and a portion of the business data associated with that execution point, present a search interface to a support user utilizing search criteria that is automatically populated using the received information, and, upon request of the support user, generates an execution environment that simulates the remote business application execution using the received information. In some implementations, the software is farther operable to retrieve static context information related to the remote business application from a static context information repository. In those instances, the execution environment for the support user may be generated using at least a portion of the retrieved static context information.

11. A computer-implemented method for supporting a business application, comprising:
-
receiving error information and dynamic context information from a remote business application, the dynamic context information at least partially identifying a particular execution point of the business application and a portion of the business data associated with that execution point; presenting a search interface to a support user utilizing one or more search criteria that is automatically populated using the received information; and upon request of the support user, generating a virtual business application execution environment for the support user that simulates the remote business application execution using the received information, the virtual business application execution environment providing the support user a simulated, interactive visualization of the remote business application including the execution point where an error associated with the error information occurred. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A system comprising:
-
a memory for storing information; and at least one hardware processor operable to execute instructions to; receive error information and dynamic context information from a remote business application, the dynamic context information at least partially identifying the particular execution point of the business application and a portion of the business data associated with that execution point; retrieve static context information from a static context information repository, the static context information related to the remote business application; present a search interface to a support user utilizing one or more search criteria that is automatically populated using the received information; and upon request of the support user, generate a virtual business application execution environment for the support user that simulates the remote business application execution using at least a portion of the received error and dynamic context information and at least a portion of the retrieved static context information, the virtual business application execution environment providing the support user a simulated, interactive visualization of the remote business application including the execution point where an error associated with the error information occurred. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
