Patent ID: 8370272

Claim:
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising program code, which, when executed by a processor, provides a message-based interface for exchanging information related to a view used for monitoring a business document message, the medium further comprising: program code for receiving via a message-based interface derived from a common business object model, where the common business object model includes business objects having relationships that enable derivation of message-based interfaces and message packages, the 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 providing a notification about a transmission status of the business document message that includes a first message package derived from the common business object model and hierarchically organized in memory as: a business document message status notification message entity; and a business document message status package comprising a business document message status notification entity and a technical message reference package comprising a technical message reference entity, where the business document message status notification entity includes an action code, a business document message identifier (ID), a message type code, a business document message transmission status code, and a transmission completed indicator, and where the technical message reference entity includes a message ID, a sender party ID, and a recipient party ID; program code for processing the first message according to the hierarchical organization of the first message package, where processing the first message includes unpacking the first message package based on the common business object model; and program code for sending a second message to the heterogeneous application responsive to the first message, where the second message includes a second message package derived from the common business object model to provide consistent semantics with the first message package.
