Abstract: In an example embodiment a sender report containing multiple rows and/or columns of information drawn from a data table may be displayed to a user of a machine. A user may select a portion of the displayed information. A sender adaptor may extract report-to-report selection criteria from the selected information. A receiver adaptor may identify other data tables where information related to the report-to-report selection criteria resides. If such information resides in multiple data tables, the receiver adaptor may join the multiple data tables into one or more data tables. The receiver adaptor may convert the report-to-report selection criteria into selection criteria for the identified data table(s) or joined data table(s). The selection criteria may be passed to a generic receiver report adapted to retrieve any information from any data table(s). The generic receiver report may retrieve information according to the selection criteria and display the information to the user.

Abstract: Techniques for optimizing code include methods, systems, and computer program products that implement operations including: identifying a decision table having values arranged in one or more cells in a row and column format, the values defining business rules; evaluating the decision table to generate one or more temporary tables, at least one temporary table including the values associated with particular positions of a string variable of undefined length; evaluating the one or more temporary tables to set the positions of the string variable based on comparisons of the values with inputs; and generating a portion of code defining the business rules based on the evaluation of the one or more temporary tables.

Abstract: A query is received by a database server from a remote application server. The query is associated with a calculation scenario that defines a data flow model that includes one or more calculation nodes with each calculation node defining one or more operations to execute on the database server. Thereafter, at least one of the calculation nodes is transformed into a star schema. Next, the database server instantiates the calculation scenario with the transformed at least one calculation node. Subsequently, a calculation engine of the database server executes the operations defined by the calculation nodes of the instantiated calculation scenario other than the transformed at least one calculation node and, additionally, an OLAP engine executes the transformed at least one calculation node to collectively result in a responsive data set.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to a system and method for implicit transaction control. A transaction manager receives an indication that an operation is to be executed within a transaction. The transaction manager determines whether a preexisting transaction context is available to provide the transaction for the operation. The operation is enclosed within the preexisting transaction context, if the preexisting transaction context is available.

Abstract: A multidimensional analytical view (MDAV) type can be supported for an in-memory, columnar database, and MDAV calculations can be integrated into the database. Such an MDAV can be combined with other MDAV types as desired. Calculations typically performed at the application layer can be pushed down to the database. A model-based approach allows generation of a calculation plan, and calculations can be performed directly on the database.

Abstract: Techniques are described for allowing a user to define hierarchical relationships for a multidimensional data model without assistance from a data administrator. The hierarchical relationships can be stored as on the client device as part of report metadata so that they are customizable by the client. A graphical user interface is also described for generating reports using a reporting tool. Through move and select operations, a report along with its underlying hierarchical relationships can be customized by the client.

Abstract: Described herein is a framework to facilitate traffic prediction. In accordance with one aspect, training data including historical traffic information and precipitation data is received. An impulse response function may be determined based on the training data. One or more traffic parameters may be predicted by calculating a weighted linear system model based on the impulse response function.

Abstract: An engine is interposed between a user and an editor. The engine is configured to receive messages from the editor denying user access to large data files. In response, the engine is configured to communicate a first message to the user asking whether the user desires to open a subset of the file contents using the editor. Upon receipt of an affirmative from the user, the engine is configured to communicate a second message to the user seeking input on a size of the file subset that is to be accessed. The engine then communicates to the editor, a third message specifying a size of the subset of data that is to be provided. In response to receiving the third message, the editor produces the requested subset of the stored data corresponding to the size indicated by the user.

Abstract: Methods and systems for generating personalized reports are disclosed. In some embodiments, a report generating application or service facilitates generating reports that can be personalized on a per-user and per-report basis. Accordingly, after personalizing a report to include only those columns desired, and formatting the report to have the columns appear in a desired order, the report generating application or service enables a user to save the personalization preferences to a file. Upon receiving a subsequent report request from the same user, the report generating application or service automatically generates the report in accordance with the user's saved personalization preferences. In addition to personalizing the report by specifying the particular columns and format, a user may establish, and save for later use, other report parameters (e.g., such as a date range) that are required in order to generate the report.

Each sub-process is associated with an agent that communicates with the RCOF. A particular sub-process is executed and the execution start is gated by an associated agent based upon at least a determined buffer value. The RCOF is notified of the particular sub-process execution completion.

Abstract: Messages may be provided to a source queue in serialized order, each message associated with a serialization context. The messages may be buffered in the source queue until a transmission time is reached, in turn, for each buffered message. Transmission-ready messages may be sent from the source queue according to the serialized order, using the serialization context, while continuing to store existing messages that are not yet transmission-ready. A queue assignment of the serialization context may be changed to a target queue. Subsequent messages may be provided with the serialization context to the target queue for buffering therein, while remaining transmission-ready messages may be continued to be sent from the source queue. The existing messages from the source queue associated with the serialization context may be determined to have been sent, and the subsequent messages may be sent from the target queue in serialized order, using the serialization context.

Abstract: A system and computer-implemented method for reporting a synchronization event in a runtime system of a computer system. A synchronization primitive in a runtime system of the computer system is monitored. A synchronization operation performed on the synchronization primitive by a thread in the runtime system is detected. An enumerator for the synchronization primitive is incremented when the synchronization operation satisfies predetermined criteria. A synchronization event that includes data relating to the synchronization operation performed on the synchronization primitive is reported.

Abstract: A method is described that involves providing a persisted quantity for a time series time interval to a first transaction, then, providing the same persisted quantity to a second transaction that operates in parallel with the first transaction. The second transaction is not permitted to change the persisted quantity. The method also involves replacing the persisted quantity with a second persisted quantity within the time series. The second persisted quantity is determined by the first transaction. The method also involves writing a persisted quantity change for the time series time interval. The persisted quantity change is determined by the second transaction.
