    Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for union node pruning. In one aspect, there is provided a method, which may include receiving, by a calculation engine, a query; processing a calculation scenario including a union node; accessing a pruning table associated with the union node, wherein the pruning table includes semantic information describing the first input from the first data source node and the second input from the second data source node; determining whether the first data source node and the second data source node can be pruned by at least comparing the semantic information to at least one filter of the query; and pruning, based on a result of the determining, at least one the first data source node or the second data source node. Related apparatus, systems, methods, and articles are also described.

  • Patent number: 10325276
    Abstract: Financial reporting methods and systems integrate profitability and accounting data. A universal journal entry allows user definition of relevant characteristics for a market segment. The entry appends the structure of a financial document to provide linkage to market segment characteristics. When creating the financial document including profit and loss (P&L) and balance account line items, a market segment is defined with determined characteristics stored in the line item on the basis of business process dependent rules. For example in posting information on a sales order item, sales order data may be read, and customer, product, and/or other sales order information input. Additional data can be derived on the basis of the determined master data, depending upon user needs. Embodiments allow enriched reporting (e.g., flexible market segment reporting) at the line item level, affording intuitive access to defined characteristics, e.g., drill-down into details of P&L and balance account information.

  • Patent number: 10326864
    Abstract: A request with data is received at an execution environment of an application. In response to the request, a first network packet is automatically created. The first network packet includes the data, orchestration code and application code of the application. The first network packet is sent to a first network node. The first network node executes a first section of the application code in a node execution environment. The section to be executed is determined based on the orchestration code. In response to the execution, a microservice associated with the application is invoked. Upon receiving a response from the microservice, a second network packet is dynamically generated. The second network packet includes the received response, the orchestration code, and one or more sections of the application code. The second network packet is sent to a second network node.

  • Patent number: 10324908
    Abstract: Various examples are directed to exposing database artifacts. For example, a rules engine may receive schema data describing a database schema of an in-memory database. The schema data may describe a table, a view, and a procedure. The rules engine may generate a data model comprising a plurality of translation artifacts including a table translation artifact describing a table of the database schema, a view translation artifact describing a view of the database schema, and a procedure translation artifact describing a procedure of the database schema. A mapping service may receive from a client application a first client request comprising first metadata describing the view translation artifact. The mapping service may initiate execution of the view at an in-memory database to determine a view result; and send the view result to the client application.

  • Patent number: 10320832
    Abstract: WebRTC is vulnerable to malicious JavaScript, injected by cross-site scripting attacks or compromised or malicious script providers. Through these attacks, attackers can access a WebRTC connection and leak or monitor the audio and video data transmitted. By preventing modification of key WebRTC functions and preventing outgoing streams from being used more than once, these attacks can be thwarted.

  • Patent number: 10318333
    Abstract: Methods and system are disclosed that optimize an allocation of virtual machines or instances of virtual machines or computing resources. In one aspect, a software defined network includes a front-end query classifier to monitor user traffic (e.g. requests or queries for executing operations) generated from multiple virtual machines (e.g., tenants). The monitored queries may be classified into multiple levels or categories (e.g., L1, L2, L3, etc.) by a back-end query classifier. The classified queries are clustered by a query-clustering engine based on a time stamp information associated with the queries. A virtual machine optimizer may optimize an allocation of virtual machines based on a computation that includes a combination of density of clustered queries and weights assigned to the queries.

  • Patent number: 10318557
    Abstract: DBSCAN clustering analyses can be improved by pre-processing of a data set using a Hilbert curve to intelligently identify the centers for initial partitional analysis by a partitional clustering algorithm such as CLARANS. Partitions output by the partitional clustering algorithm can be process by DBSCAN running in parallel before intermediate cluster results are merged.

  • Patent number: 10318125
    Abstract: In an example embodiment, a first graphical layer having a plurality of edges is rendered in a graphical user interface, the first graphical layer including a first virtual button rendered at a default location and one or more pieces of information. Then a user input of selecting the first virtual button and moving the first virtual button to a new location other than the default location is detected. In response to the detecting, the new location is compared to each of the plurality of edges to determine a geometrically closest edge to the new location, and a second graphical layer is rendered on top of the first graphical layer, the second graphical layer abutting the geometrically closest edge to the new location.

  • Patent number: 10318627
    Abstract: A technology for displaying formula dependencies of multi-dimensional data in a visual representation is provided. In accordance with one aspect, a visual representation of a multi-dimensional data is provided based on metadata of a modeled data set. The metadata includes information of a data model comprising dimensions, hierarchies of dimension members, and formulas for deriving the dimension members. The formula dependencies are determined for members of a dimension based on the metadata. A user selection of a dimension member in the visual representation is received and the framework displays a formula dependency of the selected dimension member on the visual representation using one or more visual markers. The visual markers identify one or more corresponding dimension members from which the selected dimension member is derived and represent a formula used for deriving the selected dimension member.

  • Patent number: 10311082
    Abstract: An enterprise system which facilitates synchronization of offline data. Offline data created during an offline session or sessions (collectively an offline session) prior to synchronization is assigned a temporary key. Changes of offline data created during an offline session is assigned the temporary key of the data to which the change is associated. The temporary key is mapped to a new created backend key and stored in a mapping table. Using the mapping table, temporary keys associated with the changes are swapped with backend keys which the temporary keys are mapped. This maintains data persistency of newly created and change data during an offline session.

  • Patent number: 10313421
    Abstract: A method and system for providing an OData service based on a service operation execution flow is described. Initially a data source metadata is converted to an entity data model. Based on the entity data model, the service operation execution flow is generated that displays a process for executing a service operation. Next, one or more runtime configuration data are received to edit the generated service operation execution flow. The edited service operation execution flow defines a communication between a data source and a client requesting execution of the service operation. Finally, based on the edited service operation execution flow and the entity data model the Odata service is published to process a client request for executing the service operation.
