Abstract

An enterprise database server may store enterprise information. An application layer server, coupled to the enterprise database server, may use an application programming language (e.g., ABAP) to access the enterprise information. The application layer server may execute a plurality of domain runtimes, each associated with a domain service (e.g., transactional, SQL, analytical, search, etc.). The application layer server may also access, by a first domain runtime, a first data service entity in an infrastructure for data modelling (e.g., CDS) that enables data models to be defined and consumed on the enterprise database server. Similarly, the application layer server may access, by a second domain runtime, a second data service entity in the infrastructure for data modelling. According to some embodiments, the first data service entity includes a first provider contract and the second data service entity includes a second provider contract (different than the first provider contract).
