Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for managing and accessing variants of applications. In an embodiment, a request for an application including one or more contextual parameters may be received. A base user interface configuration corresponding to the application may first be retrieved. One or more interface configuration files corresponding to the one or more contextual parameters may then be retrieved from a layered repository. The layered repository may be partitioned into organizational layers that store a plurality of interface configuration files associated with the application. The retrieved interface configuration files may be merged with the base user interface configuration to generate a composite interface configuration, and the composite interface configuration may be applied to the application at runtime.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for creating and utilizing configuration providers for layered repository facilities. An embodiment operates by creating or loading a custom data structure for a software application, retrieving configuration information from at least one configuration provider, storing the retrieved configuration information in the custom data structure, and associating the custom data structure with the application and a specific layer of a layered repository facility. When this is done across multiple layers of the layered repository for the same software application, configurations can be efficiently managed for different users having different roles and relationships within an enterprise software environment, while maintaining a user experience that is flexible, extensible, dynamic, and yet consistent and familiar across many devices and platforms, even for users having multiple roles and different relationships within the enterprise software environment.

Abstract: A system facilitates modification or adaptation of a software object or platform, developed by a software developer, by a plurality of entities, each entity is assigned a hierarchical level, the lowest hierarchical level being assigned to a software developer and the highest hierarchical level being assigned to an end-user. At each level, when a modification or adaptation is implemented, a separate layer file or layer of a layer file is created and stored in a database. Subsequently, the changes of the respective layers are implemented in sequence according to the hierarchy, so that a higher hierarchical level's modifications that are in conflict with a setting of a lower hierarchical level replace the implementation of the lower hierarchical level's setting during runtime.
