Abstract

The embodiments provide a system for linking an application with an in-memory database system for enabling an in-memory-enabled transactional application. The system includes an in-memory transactional processor configured to receive contextual data related to an instantiation of a first business transaction of the application and instantiate at least one second business transaction of the application during a course of processing the first business transaction. The in-memory transactional processor is configured to store results of at least one process step of the at least one second business transaction during the course of processing the first business transaction in an in-memory database, evaluate, at a decision point within the first business transaction, a plurality of alternative process steps, during runtime, and determine a subsequent process step from the plurality of alternative process steps based on the contextual data and captured information stored in the in-memory database.
