Lifecycle management and consistency checking of object models using application platform tools

Abstract

A method includes a data structure comprising a status and action management schema associated with an object model development lifecycle. A status and action management service operates to determine a lifecycle state of a first object model based on the status and action management schema, receive a request to perform a lifecycle action on the first object model, determine, based on the lifecycle state and the status and action management schema, whether the lifecycle action is allowed to be performed, and, if so, allow the lifecycle action to be performed. A business object processing framework may detect a trigger event associated with an object model, execute validation code associated with the trigger event and the object model to evaluate a constraint of the object model, and return a result of the evaluation.
