Managing consistent interfaces for credit portfolio business objects across heterogeneous systems

Abstract

A business object model, which reflects data that is used during a given business transaction, is utilized to generate interfaces. This business object model facilitates commercial transactions by providing consistent interfaces that are suitable for use across industries, across businesses, and across different departments within a business during a business transaction. In some operations, software creates, updates, or otherwise processes information related to a credit portfolio model, a credit portfolio analytical result, a credit portfolio management process control, a financial instrument exposure profile analytical result, and/or a material supply and demand allocation business object.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A non-transitory computer readable medium including program code for providing a message-based interface for performing a financial instrument exposure profile analytical result service, the medium comprising:
 program code for receiving via a message-based interface exposing at least one service as defined in a service registry and from a heterogeneous application executing in an environment of computer systems providing message-based services, a first message for requesting creation of a financial instrument exposure profile analytical result, where the financial instrument exposure profile analytical result comprises an analytical result of an exposure profile calculation of a financial instrument, the first message including a first message package hierarchically organized as:
 a financial instrument exposure profile analytical result create request message entity; and 
 a financial instrument exposure profile analytical result package, where the financial instrument exposure profile analytical result package includes a financial instrument exposure profile analytical result entity, where the financial instrument exposure profile analytical result entity includes an ID, a group ID, a key date, and a creation date time; 
   program code for processing the first message according to the hierarchical organization of the first message package; and   program code for sending a second message to the heterogeneous application responsive to the first message.   
     
     
         2 . The medium of  claim 5 , wherein the financial instrument exposure profile analytical result package further includes an item package, where the item package includes at least one item entity and a property package, where each item entity includes a date, and where each property package includes at least one property entity, and where each property entity includes an ID and a value. 
     
     
         3 . The medium of  claim 5 , wherein the financial instrument exposure profile analytical result entity further includes at least one of a financial instrument ID, a financial instrument category code, a standardized financial instrument account ID, and a maximum original maturity duration. 
     
     
         4 . A distributed system operating in a landscape of computer systems providing message-based services defined in a service registry, the system comprising:
 a graphical user interface comprising computer readable instructions, embedded on tangible media, for requesting creation of a financial instrument exposure profile analytical result, where the financial instrument exposure profile analytical result comprises an analytical result of an exposure profile calculation of a financial instrument, using a request;   a first memory storing a user interface controller for processing the request and involving a message including a message package hierarchically organized as:
 a financial instrument exposure profile analytical result create request message entity; and 
 a financial instrument exposure profile analytical result package, where the financial instrument exposure profile analytical result package includes a financial instrument exposure profile analytical result entity, where the financial instrument exposure profile analytical result entity includes an ID, a group ID, a key date, and a creation date time; and 
   a second memory, remote from the graphical user interface, storing a plurality of service interfaces, where one of the service interfaces is operable to process the message via the service interface.   
     
     
         5 . The distributed system of claim  8 , wherein the first memory is remote from the graphical user interface. 
     
     
         6 . The distributed system of claim  8 , wherein the first memory is remote from the second memory.
