Patent ID: 7269795

Claim:
A method of linking entities between a plurality of business applications in an integrated business solutions computing environment, comprising: retrieving a first system specific assembly and first user interface configuration data for a first entity of a first application, wherein the first entity includes the first user interface configuration data and configuration data associated with a system level, an entity level, a system mapping level and an entity mapping level, wherein the first user interface configuration data provides a particular user interface for the first entity of the first application; retrieving a second system specific assembly and second user interface configuration data for a second entity of a second application, wherein the second entity includes the second user interface configuration data and configuration data associated with a system level, an entity level, a system mapping level and an entity mapping level, wherein the second user interface configuration data provides a particular user interface for the second entity of the second application; retrieving maps linking the first system specific assembly and the first entity to the second system specific assembly and the second entity, wherein the maps include user interface configuration data and configuration data associated with a system level, an entity level, a system mapping level and an entity mapping level; dynamically generating a user interface with a dynamic mark up language string based upon the first system specific assembly, first user interface configuration data, second system specific assembly, second user interface configuration data and the retrieved maps, the dynamic mark up language string including a first user input field based on the first system specific assembly to provide a selectable map between the first and second entities to control mapping between the first and second entities.
