Abstract

A system and method for application data model content delivery and activation. Delivery of core objects are made separately from the appended objects. In an activation process, a single object is created from each core object and the assigned appends. A customer can use and change each of these single activated objects. In an active version, all necessary appends are collected and assembled. In that way, objects can be easily enhanced for industry or country-specific attributes or fields, or other enhancements. In a development system, the active version includes all appends to ensure a correct runtime behavior.
