Abstract

Various examples are directed to systems and methods for performing data object operations in an enterprise resource planning (ERP) application. The ERP application may receive an instruction to perform a transaction associated with a data object stored at a database management system. The ERP application may initiate execution of a transaction manager that is to manage a transaction stream buffer. A first processing pipeline may be executed for the transaction. The first processing pipeline may execute a first processing unit, where the executing of the first processing unit comprises accessing first processing unit input data from a transaction stream buffer and writing first processing unit output data to the transaction stream buffer. The transaction manager may initiate a save process to write the first processing unit output data to the data object stored at the database management system.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A computing system for performing data object operations, the computing system comprising:

at least one processor programmed to perform operations comprising:
executing an application;
receiving, by the application, an instruction to perform a transaction associated with a data object stored at a database management system;
initiating, by the application, execution of a transaction manager, the transaction manager to manage a transaction stream buffer;
and
executing a first processing pipeline for the transaction, the executing of the first processing pipeline comprising:
executing a first processing unit of the first processing pipeline, the executing of the first processing unit comprising accessing first processing unit input data from a transaction stream buffer associated with the first processing pipeline, and writing first processing unit output data to the transaction stream buffer;
initiating, by the transaction manager, a save process to write the first processing unit output data to the data object stored at the database management system;
and
executing, by the application, the save process, the executing of the save process comprising:
executing a pre-save operation to perform at least one check of the first processing unit output data;
executing a save operation to save the first processing unit output data to the data object;
and
executing a post-save operation to clear a memory location associated with the transaction stream buffer.

A method of performing data object operations in a computing system, comprising:

receiving, by an application executing at the computing system, an instruction to perform a transaction associated with a data object stored at a database management system;
initiating, by the application, execution of a transaction manager, the transaction manager to manage a transaction stream buffer;
and
executing a first processing pipeline for the transaction, the executing of the first processing pipeline comprising:
executing a first processing unit of the first processing pipeline, the executing of the first processing unit comprising accessing first processing unit input data from a transaction stream buffer associated with the first processing pipeline, and writing first processing unit output data to the transaction stream buffer;
initiating, by the transaction manager, a save process to write the first processing unit output data to the data object stored at the database management system;
and
executing, by the application, the save process, the executing of the save process comprising:
executing a pre-save operation to perform at least one check of the first processing unit output data;
executing a save operation to save the first processing unit output data to the data object;
and
executing a post-save operation to clear a memory location associated with the transaction stream buffer.

9 more elements

A non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising instructions thereon that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

executing an application;
receiving, by the application, an instruction to perform a transaction associated with a data object stored at a database management system;
initiating, by the application, execution of a transaction manager, the transaction manager to manage a transaction stream buffer;
and
executing a first processing pipeline for the transaction, the executing of the first processing pipeline comprising:
executing a first processing unit of the first processing pipeline, the executing of the first processing unit comprising accessing first processing unit input data from a transaction stream buffer associated with the first processing pipeline, and writing first processing unit output data to the transaction stream buffer;
initiating, by the transaction manager, a save process to write the first processing unit output data to the data object stored at the database management system;
and
executing, by the application, the save process, the executing of the save process comprising:
executing a pre-save operation to perform at least one check of the first processing unit output data;
executing a save operation to save the first processing unit output data to the data object;
and
executing a post-save operation to clear a memory location associated with the transaction stream buffer.
