Abstract: The suggestions of objects in a real-time collaboration tool can be accomplished by first forming a first vector representing an object utilized in the real-time collaboration tool. The vector can then be compared to a plurality of vectors representing a plurality of objects stored in a database to locate one or more vectors similar to the first vector. One or more of the plurality of objects stored in the database can be recommended to a user of the real-time collaboration tool based on the comparing.

Abstract: Apparatus, systems, and methods may operate to receive a first identification of two or more records that match and to search at least two sources of data to locate a set of potential matching records, based on element transformation to determine common characteristics of the two or more records. Further activities may include publishing the set of potential matching records, receiving a second identification of matching members of the set, and searching at least one repository to locate further matching records based on the second identification and the common characteristics.

Abstract: Systems and methods of searching by a processor are described herein. In accordance with one aspect of the present disclosure, a master index having a plurality of index documents corresponding to artifacts stored in a repository is generated. An index document maps contents from a source artifact to index categories having different default boost values indicating relative importance of the index categories. A search query is fired by a user to search the master index. A result list of artifacts having contents matching (hit) the search query is generated. Artifacts are ranked in the list based on hit scores according to number of hits, which categories the hits occurred and the default boost values of the index categories.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating dynamic hierarchical facets from business intelligence artifacts are described herein. In accordance with one aspect of the present disclosure, grouping information is extracted from one or more business intelligence artifacts or a semantic layer. Facets or categories are dynamically linked based on the extracted grouping information to generate one or more hierarchical facets. The hierarchical facets may be incorporated in search results to facilitate ease of navigation.

Abstract: Gestures are described for manipulating tables, charts and graphs. For tables, a swipe gesture is described that deletes a column from a table when the gesture is detected on a column of the table. A pinch gesture is also described that combines two or more columns or rows of a table when the gesture is detected on columns of the table. For charts and graphs, a swipe gesture is described that changes the contents of the chart or graph when the gesture is detected on an axis label of the chart or graph. Another swipe gesture is describes that modifies the appearance of the chart or graph when the gesture is detected on or near an edge of the chart or graph and moving towards the center of the chart or graph.

Abstract: Techniques are described for importing data from a web page and enriching the imported data. While presenting a web page on a web browser, an input can be received to select an area of the web page. Tables that correspond to the selected area can be imported into a dataset as plain text. Tables imported in this manner can be verified and subsequently enriched. Data enrichment can include providing context to an entry. Data enrichment can also include associating or importing related data into the table from an open access database.

Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods for evaluating a trust value for a report are disclosed herein. The method includes obtaining one or more reports by the computer, where the reports are formed of one or more fields of data. An end-to-end lineage for the data is determined to trace the data back to the data source system from which the data had originated initially. Further, the method includes validating each of the multiple data source systems including intermediate tables, and determining a data quality score for each of the multiple data source systems. A trust value for the report is calculated based on the data quality scores for the one or more data source systems and intermediate tables, and rendered along with the report.

Abstract: A system receives a request from a request processor of a database connection pool to access a database. The system determines whether a database connection from the database connection pool is available for the request. A new security assertion mark-up language (SAML) assertion is generated when the database connection pool does not have an available database connection for the request. A new database connection to the database is built using the new SAML assertion.

Abstract: Systems and methods for resuming data transformations, such as broken or otherwise unsuccessful data transformations, are described. In some example embodiments, the systems and methods receive a message that indicates a broken data transformation of a data table between a source database and a destination database, identify a maximum and/or largest and greatest value for a date attribute contained within an index column for all rows of the data table that were successfully loaded to the destination database during the data transformation, and select a group of rows of data of the data table stored in the source database by querying the source database to identify rows that include a value for the date attribute that is greater than the identified value.

Abstract: The current subject matter describes displaying historical data associated with one or more data values within a business intelligence report. A graphical user interface executed by a computing device can receive, from a user, a request for display of historical data associated with a specified/selected data value in a business intelligence report. Subsequently, a representational state transfer engine (RESTful engine), which can be connected to a server system connected to the computing device, can execute a representational state transfer service (RESTful service) to fetch historical data from current and past instances associated with the data value. Then, the RESTful engine can write the fetched historical data to a file. The RESTful engine can generate or determine a uniform resource locator (URL) to the file, and can send the URL to the computing device. When the URL is selected by the user, the computing device can display the file.

Abstract: A plurality of graphical elements may be represented as a document object model (DOM) having a plurality of nodes, each node representing a different graphical element, the DOM having an ordering of the nodes, each node having a z-value of front or back, indicating that the corresponding graphical element is to be displayed in a front layer for a z-value of front or a back layer for a z-value of back. The z-value of one or more of the plurality of nodes corresponding to one or more graphical elements to be moved to the front layer or back layer may be altered. The DOM can then be reordered so that the one or more graphical elements to be moved to the front layer or back layer are at the front or back of the DOM, while maintaining the ordering between nodes having z-values of front and the ordering between nodes having z-values of back.

Abstract: Example systems and methods of generating and distributing user-specified application information are presented. In one example, an informational code to be generated during execution of a software application is accessed. A character string specified by a first user of the software application that is descriptive of the informational code is received. The informational code and the character string are stored in a data storage device, which stores a plurality of information codes in association with corresponding character strings for the software application. The informational code is received in response to the first information code being generated during execution of the software for a second user. The character string is retrieved from the data storage device after the execution of the application based on the informational code, and transmitted for display to the second user.
