Abstract
A computer system for automatically generating a process step has a meta data definition storage which includes a definition of the process step to be generated, a process generator for generating the process step on the basis of the definition in the meta data definition storage, an application data storage for storing application data, the application data being linked in accordance with a data logic and a runtime meta data storage for storing the data logic of the application data, a runtime environment for accessing the application data on the basis of the data logic and executing the process step using the application data by means of a first function where the first function is specified in the meta data definition storage.
Claims20
A computer system for automatically generating a process step, comprising:
- a meta data definition storage containing a definition of the process step to be generated and a first function;
- a process generator for generating the process step on the basis of the definition in the meta data definition storage;
- an application data storage for storing application data, the application data being linked in accordance with a data logic;
- a runtime meta data storage for storing the data logic of the application data;
- and
- a runtime environment for accessing the application data on the basis of the data logic and executing the process step using the application data by means of the first function specified in the meta data definition storage.
A method of generating a process step, comprising the steps of:
- selecting a definition of the process step to be generated from a meta data definition storage;
- generating the process step on the basis of the definition selected from the meta data definition storage;
- reading out a specification of a first function to be implemented in a runtime environment from the meta data definition storage;
- reading out a data logic of application data from a runtime meta database;
- accessing application data on the basis of the data logic stored in the runtime meta database;
- and
- executing the process step in the runtime environment using the application data by means of the specification of the first function read out from the meta data definition storage.
A computer memory encoded with executable instructions representing a computer program for generating a process step, comprising
- means for selecting a definition of the process step to be generated from a meta data definition storage;
- means for generating the process step on the basis of the definition selected from the meta data definition storage;
- means for reading out a specification of a first function to be implemented in a runtime environment from the meta data definition storage;
- means for reading out a data logic of application data from a runtime meta database;
- means for accessing application data on the basis of the data logic stored in the runtime meta database;
- and
- means for executing the process step in the runtime environment using the application data by means of the specification of the first function read out from the meta data definition storage.
A computer-readable medium for storing a plurality of instruction sets for causing a computer system to generate a process step by performing the steps of:
- selecting a definition of the process step to be generated from a meta data definition storage;
- generating the process step on the basis of the definition selected from the meta data definition storage;
- reading out a specification of a first function to be implemented in a runtime environment from the meta data definition storage;
- reading out a data logic of application data from a runtime meta database;
- accessing application data on the basis of the data logic stored in the runtime meta database;
- and
- executing the process step in the runtime environment using the application data by means of the specification of the first function read out from the meta data definition storage.
