Abstract

Disclosed are methods, systems and products, including a method that includes generating a system landscape overview including a context selection menu and an information window, the system landscape overview of a system landscape includes a plurality of systems identified by a unique identifier, the context selection menu enables modifying an import to at least one of the plurality of systems, and the information window provides metadata for the at least one of the plurality of systems; receiving, from the context sensitive menu, modification information representative of a schedule for an import to the at least one of the plurality of systems; determining, by a calculation engine, a workflow to install the at least one of the plurality of systems system; and providing the received modification information to a job scheduler to enable scheduling of the import to the at least one of the plurality of systems.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method comprising:
generating a system landscape overview for presentation on a display including a context sensitive menu and an information window, the system landscape overview being representative of a system landscape comprising a plurality of systems identified by a unique identifier, the context sensitive menu enables a modification to an import to at least one of the plurality of systems, the information window and context sensitive menu being generated in response to the modification of the import with the context sensitive menu comprising a start time for the modification, the information window providing metadata for the at least one of the plurality of systems, the metadata including a rule for adapting the modification to at least one of the plurality of systems, the rule including at least one instruction and a time for adapting the modification to the at least one of the plurality of systems;
receiving, at a processor and from the context sensitive menu, the modification comprising information representative of a schedule for the import to the at least one of the plurality of systems;
determining, by a calculation engine, a workflow to install the import to at least one of the plurality of systems;
highlighting, based on the received modification, a first system of the plurality of systems in the system landscape overview, the highlighting of the first system indicating a location of an error associated with the modification within the system landscape;
receiving, from the context sensitive menu and based on the highlighting, an updated start time for adapting the import to the at least one of the plurality of systems; and
providing the updated start time to a job scheduler to enable scheduling of the import to the at least one of the plurality of systems.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the generating further comprises:
generating the system landscape overview as a page including graphical representations of the plurality of systems each identified by the unique identifier and further generating the context sensitive menu as a window presented within the page.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the generating further comprises:
generating the system landscape overview as a page including graphical representations of the plurality of systems each identified by the unique identifier and further generating the context sensitive menu as a window, wherein the window and the information window are presented within the page.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the page comprises a hypertext markup language page.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the generating further comprises:
generating the context sensitive menu to include a plurality of commands to enable modifying the import to at least one of the plurality of systems.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the enabling of the modification comprises modifying the import to the at least one of the plurality of systems.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the enabling of the modification to the import comprises modifying a time when the import is imported to the at least one of the plurality of systems.

8. A system comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one memory including code which when executed by the at least one processor provides operations comprising:
generating a system landscape overview for presentation on a display including a context sensitive menu and an information window, the system landscape overview being representative of a system landscape comprising a plurality of systems identified by a unique identifier, the context sensitive menu enables a modification to an import to at least one of the plurality of systems, the information window and context sensitive menu being generated in response to the modification of the import with the context sensitive menu comprising a start time for the modification, the information window providing metadata for the at least one of the plurality of systems, the metadata including a rule for adapting the modification to at least one of the plurality of systems, the rule including at least one instruction and a time for adapting the modification to the at least one of the plurality of systems;
receiving, at a processor and from the context sensitive menu, the modification comprising information representative of a schedule for the import to the at least one of the plurality of systems;
determining, by a calculation engine, a workflow to install the import to at least one of the plurality of systems;
highlighting, based on the received modification, a first system of the plurality of systems in the system landscape overview, the highlighting of the first system indicating a location of an error associated with the modification within the system landscape;
receiving, from the context sensitive menu and based on the highlighting, an updated start time for adapting the import to the at least one of the plurality of systems; and
providing the updated start time to a job scheduler to enable scheduling of the import to the at least one of the plurality of systems.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the generating further comprises:
generating the system landscape overview as a page including graphical representations of the plurality of systems each identified by the unique identifier and further generating the context sensitive menu as a window presented within the page.

10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the generating further comprises:
generating the system landscape overview as a page including graphical representations of the plurality of systems each identified by the unique identifier and further generating the context sensitive menu as a window, wherein the window and the information window are presented within the page.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the page comprises a hypertext markup language page.

12. The system of claim 8 , wherein the generating further comprises:
generating the context sensitive menu to include a plurality of commands to enable modifying the import to at least one of the plurality of systems.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising code, which when executed by at least one processor provides operations comprising:
generating a system landscape overview for presentation on a display including a context sensitive menu and an information window, the system landscape overview being representative of a system landscape comprising a plurality of systems identified by a unique identifier, the context sensitive menu enables a modification to an import to at least one of the plurality of systems, the information window and context sensitive menu being generated in response to the modification of the import with the context sensitive menu comprising a start time for the modification, the information window providing metadata for the at least one of the plurality of systems, the metadata including a rule for adapting the modification to at least one of the plurality of systems, the rule including at least one instruction and a time for adapting the modification to the at least one of the plurality of systems;
receiving, at a processor and from the context sensitive menu, the modification comprising information representative of a schedule for the import to the at least one of the plurality of systems;
determining, by a calculation engine, a workflow to install the import to at least one of the plurality of systems;
highlighting, based on the received modification, a first system of the plurality of systems in the system landscape overview, the highlighting of the first system indicating a location of an error associated with the modification
