Abstract
A method of providing access to Business Applications (BA) executed on a data processing system, BAs offer their services interactively controlled by a multitude of BA panels. The individual panels, the sequence of the panels as they are displayed by the BA, and the activities required to launch a BA to display a succeeding panel are described. Describing the panels results in a directed graph modeling the spectrum of panel interactions with a BA called a User Interaction Graph (UIG). By analyzing the UIG Transaction Methods (TM) is generated. When called, the TM procedures are capable of autonomously executing and controlling the BAs by handling a sequence of BA panels. They autonomously fill the various BA panels with the correct input information, initiate the required activities for traversing through a certain panel sequence and return the output information gathered during its execution.
