Abstract

A method may include a configuration engine receiving inputs for generating a customized function whose performance requires a first software application at a first host system to perform a first subprocess and a second software application at a second host system to perform a second subprocess. The configuration engine may apply a first customization to a first template to change a first manner in which data is stored in a first database table operated upon by the first software application while performing the first subprocess. A second customization may be applied to a second template to change the second manner in which data is stored in a second database table operated upon by the second software application while performing the second subprocess. The customized function may be implemented by sending the first template to the first host system and the second template to the second host system.
