Abstract

A method for analyzing an enterprise application linked to a mobile device application. The method includes determining that the enterprise application performs a first set of roles. The method also includes analyzing the mobile device application. The method also includes determining that the mobile device application performs a second set of roles. The method also includes receiving an input parameter at the mobile device application, and generating a mobile data structure in response to the determining that the mobile device performs the second set of roles. The method also includes receiving an indication of a planned disconnect of the mobile device application from the enterprise application. The method also includes storing, in response to the receiving the indication of planned disconnect, the generated data structure in the mobile device for disconnected execution.

Claims

1. A method for adjusting a mobile function during a planned disconnect from an enterprise server, comprising:

analyzing an enterprise application linked to a mobile device application, wherein the enterprise application is located on the enterprise server;

determining that the enterprise application performs a first set of roles;

analyzing the mobile device application on a mobile device, including analyzing a user interface structure on the mobile device, wherein the analyzing the mobile device application uses query analysis;

determining that the mobile device application performs a second set of roles, wherein the second set of roles is a subset of the first set of roles, and wherein the determining comprises filtering data based on usage of the data by the mobile device application, where the data is a subset of an entire dataset for the enterprise application;

identifying a loop in the mobile device application that includes multiple application navigation occurrences to a first data query;

applying a first limit to the loop in response to the identifying the loop;

receiving an input parameter at the mobile device application;

generating a mobile data structure in response to the determining that the mobile device performs the second set of roles, wherein the mobile data structure is stored on the mobile device, and wherein the mobile data structure is configured to perform the second set of roles;

receiving an indication of a planned disconnect of the mobile device application from the enterprise application; and

storing, in response to the receiving the indication of planned disconnect, the generated data structure in the mobile device for disconnected execution.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the mobile device application utilizes a service-oriented architecture (SOA) integration.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the analyzing the mobile device application includes identifying an application navigation target based on a user interface of the mobile device.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the mobile data structure includes one or more navigation query target input fields.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the receiving the input parameter at the mobile device application includes:

receiving a user option for traversing an application for continued parsing; and

determining that a query event is associated with a defined data query and input.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the generating includes:

utilizing data related elements of the mobile device user interface, and

relating any data queries with the existing service oriented application integration to the enterprise application, wherein identification of the navigation query target input fields obtained at time of execution include information.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the receiving the input parameter at the mobile device application is received via a set of query/response user interface controls.

8. A computing system for facilitating mobile disconnected operations, comprising:

one or more computer processor circuits that are configured to host a data compression model generation application that is configured to;

analyze an enterprise application linked to a mobile device application, wherein the enterprise application is located on the enterprise server;

determine that the enterprise application performs a first set of roles;

analyze the mobile device application on a mobile device, including analyzing a user interface structure on the mobile device, wherein the analyzing the mobile device application uses query analysis;

determine that the mobile device application performs a second set of roles, wherein the second set of roles is a subset of the first set of roles, where the second set of roles is determined by filtering data based on usage of the data by the mobile device application, where the data is a subset of an entire dataset for the enterprise application;

identify a loop in the mobile device application that includes multiple application navigation occurrences to a first data query;

apply a first limit to the loop in response to the identifying the loop;

receive an input parameter at the mobile device application;

generate a mobile data structure in response to the determining that the mobile device performs the second set of roles, wherein the mobile data structure is stored on the mobile device, and wherein the mobile data structure is configured to perform the second set of roles;

receive an indication of a planned disconnect of the mobile device application from the enterprise application; and

store, in response to the receiving the indication of planned disconnect, the generated data structure in the mobile device for disconnected execution.

9. The computer system of claim 8, wherein the mobile device application utilizes a service-oriented architecture (SOA) integration.

10. The computer system of claim 8, wherein the analyzing the mobile device application includes identifying an application navigation target based on a user interface of the mobile device.

11. The computer system of claim 8, wherein the receiving the input parameter at the mobile device application includes:

receiving a user option for traversing an application for continued parsing; and

determining that a query event is associated with a defined data query and input.

12. The computer system of claim 8, wherein the generating includes:

utilizing data related elements of the mobile device user interface, and

relating any data queries with the existing service oriented application integration to the enterprise application, wherein identification of the navigation query target input fields obtained at time of execution include information.

13. A computer program product for facilitating mobile device disconnected operations, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having program code embodied therewith, the program code comprising computer readable program code configured to perform a method, comprising:

analyzing an enterprise application linked to a mobile device application, wherein the enterprise application is located on the enterprise server, wherein the analyzing the mobile device application uses query analysis;

determining that the enterprise application performs a first set of roles;

analyzing the mobile device application on a mobile device, including analyzing a user interface structure on the mobile device;

determining that the mobile device application performs a second set of roles, wherein the second set of roles is a subset of the first set of roles, and wherein the determining comprises filtering data based on usage of the data by the mobile device application, where the data is a subset of an entire dataset for the enterprise application;

identifying a loop in the mobile device application that includes multiple application navigation occurrences to a first data query;

applying a first limit to the loop in response to the identifying the loop;

receiving an input parameter at the mobile device application;

generating a mobile data structure in response to the determining that the mobile device performs the second set of roles, wherein the mobile data structure is stored on the mobile device, and wherein the mobile data structure is configured to perform the second set of roles;
