Nested Transport Collections for System Landscape Data
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing system landscapes with hierarchical structures face complexity in transporting unique output data across heterogeneous systems, as existing methods do not efficiently support the transportation of proprietary data across multiple levels of nested hierarchies.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for transporting object packets within nested hierarchies, where object packets are identified, aggregated, and deployed across multiple levels of system landscapes, enabling the assignment of transport requests to corresponding target systems, thereby facilitating data transfer across similar and different hierarchies.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If hierarchical landscaping of systems is implemented to control complexity, then system controllability is improved, but multi-level vertical and horizontal complexities are incurred
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the complex hierarchical system into manageable units by introducing transport collections at different levels (first level, second level, etc.). Each level handles specific transport tasks independently, breaking down the overwhelming multi-level complexity into discrete, controllable segments that can be processed systematically.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces transport collections as intermediary structures between source systems and target systems across hierarchical levels. These collections act as mediators that facilitate data transport while abstracting the complexity of multi-level hierarchies, allowing systems to interact through standardized interfaces rather than direct complex connections.
2Adaptability or versatility
If heterogeneous systems are included in the hierarchy to support diverse functions, then system versatility is improved, but transportation of unique output data to other systems becomes unsupported
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal transport collection structure that can handle diverse data types from heterogeneous systems. The transport collection framework is designed to be system-agnostic and data-format-flexible, enabling it to transport unique output data from any heterogeneous system across the hierarchy through a unified mechanism.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs parameter changes by allowing transport collections to adapt their structure and properties based on the source and target systems. The collection can modify its parameters (such as data format, transport protocol, or routing behavior) to accommodate the unique requirements of different heterogeneous systems while maintaining a consistent underlying framework.
3Ease of operation
If transport requests are processed individually across multiple levels, then detailed control is improved, but transportation efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple individual transport requests into consolidated transport collections at each hierarchical level. By combining related transport tasks into unified collections, the system maintains detailed control over each individual request while achieving efficient batch processing at the collection level, thereby improving overall transportation efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a nested structure where transport collections are organized hierarchically across multiple levels. First level collections contain individual transport requests, second level collections aggregate first level collections, and this nesting continues upward. This nested organization enables both detailed control at the innermost level and efficient bulk processing at outer levels simultaneously.

AI summary
Described are methods and systems related to transporting one or more object packets present in a nested hierarchy of one or more system landscapes. The object packets available for transporting from source systems to target systems present in the nested hierarchy of the system landscapes is identified. A transport request is generate for a collection of object packets of each source system in the nested hierarchy of the system landscapes. The transport requests are aggregated to render a nested transport collection. The nested transport collection is transported within the nested hierarchy of the system landscapes. The nested transport collection is deployed to assign the transport requests present in the nested transport collection to the target systems present in the nested hierarchy of the system landscapes.
