Abstract

Design time artifacts ordered in a dependency tree according to a call order defined by a database application accessing data in a database can be classified as source and/or sink artifacts. The dependency tree can be traversed in a direction reverse of the call order to determine, for each sink artifact, one or more required source artifacts upon which the sink artifact depends and that is needed to provide correct data inputs for operation of the sink artifact. Based on the traversing, implicitly dependent sink artifacts positioned earlier in the call order that their required source artifacts can be identified, and a new call order can be defined in which all of the required source artifacts for the implicitly dependent sink artifact are called before the implicitly dependent sink artifact.
