Abstract: Runtime performance of report generation and other response to query requests can be improve using a report analyzer that can parse the query request and distribute the necessary analytical task among two or more analytical engines of varying levels of complexity.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are representative embodiments of tools and techniques for reusing derived measures of cubes in customized cubes. According to one exemplary technique, a base cube of a customized cube is determined. Additionally, a footprint of a derived measure of the base cube is determined. Also, a report that uses the customized cube is generated using the derived measure of the base cube.

Abstract: A computer implemented method for setting time based selections in an application may include obtaining saved settings relating to a first time setting and setting second time settings based on the saved settings. The saved settings may include a first time setting and a time stamp corresponding to the first time setting. Setting the second time settings based on the saved settings may include using a relation between the time stamp and the first time settings to set the second time settings. Setting the second time settings based on the saved settings may include determining the relation of the time stamp to the first time setting and setting the second time setting such that the relation exists between the current time and the second time setting.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of distributing information retrieved from one or more data repositories includes: invoking a producer method to generate a document using data retrieved from one or more data repositories; invoking a converter method to convert the generated document to an output format; and invoking a distributor method to distribute the converted document through a distribution channel. The methods may be implemented in a framework that allows flexible implementation of one or more additional methods. The methods may belong to respective producer, converter and distributor classes.

Abstract: In a business environment, a document with data can be distributed to one or more receivers on a regular basis. Between distribution intervals, the document may or may not be updated with different data. In one implementation, a document distribution system includes a hashcode generator for a document. The hashcode generator can generate a hashcode that is unique for the document. The system includes a comparator to compare a hashcode for a previously-distributed document with the hashcode generated for the document. The system can have one or more distribution channels to distribute the document. Executable information can include instructions to distribute the document over the one or more distribution channels if the comparator determines that the hashcode for the previously-distributed document and the hashcode generated for the document are different.

Abstract: A technique is described in which a plurality of requests for batch jobs is received. Each batch job corresponds to one of a plurality of batch job categories. Each batch job category has one or more associated time slots. Each request includes a selection of one or more of these associated time slots. Thereafter, each batch job is processed during one or more of the selected time slots.
