  • Publication number: 20230410008
    Abstract: A method may include generating, for display at a client device, a user interface for creating and configuring a custom task associated with one or more enterprise software applications. The user interface may display a plurality of components. The custom task may be configurable by adding one or more components to the custom task, reordering the one or more components, configuring a property of the one or more components, and/or deleting the one or more components from the custom task. One or more user inputs configuring the custom task may be received through the user interface. The custom task may be generated based on the one or more user inputs for subsequent execution. Related systems and computer program products are also provided.

  • Patent number: 9881032
    Abstract: A system includes reception of a logical schema associated with data stored in a data store, generation of an input schema based on the logical schema, reception of an expression having a type of the input schema and comprising a first expression element defining an object, compilation of the first expression element based on the input schema to generate an output schema, and merger of the output schema and the input schema to generate a second input schema.

  • Patent number: 9235561
    Abstract: Some aspects include selection of a cell of a report section, the cell associated with a data dimension and with a context of the report section, and association of the cell with an input parameter of a software service. Aspects may include identification of a contextual report specification associated with a software service and with one or more report elements, at least one of the one or more report elements being associated with an input parameter of the software service, determination of data corresponding to a plurality of the one or more report elements, generation of a script to invoke the software service and to pass contents of the at least one of the one or more report elements as the input parameter to the software service, and generation of a report output based on the data and the script.

  • Patent number: 8447739
    Abstract: A system, method, means, and/or computer program code may be provided to facilitate a presentation of information to a user. According to some embodiments, continuous query definition parameters are created by a user via a graphical user interface. Moreover, semantic layer information associated with an event processing engine may be provided. The event processing engine may, for example, receive an event stream from a data source. According to some embodiments, the semantic layer information is defined by a semantic layer designer via a graphical user interface. At least one event processing language statement may be created based on (i) the continuous query definition parameters and (ii) the semantic layer information. The statement may then be provided to the event processing engine so as to establish a continuous query at the event processing engine, the continuous query providing output data based on events in the event stream.

  • Publication number: 20110055246
    Abstract: Navigation and visualization of a relational database may include determination of metadata indicating a structure of the relational database, generation of one or more structured query language queries based on the metadata to retrieve, from the relational database, facet values of each of a plurality of facets of the relational database, determination of a display order of the plurality of facets based on the facet values, and generation of an interface to display of the facet values of the plurality of facets in the determined display order. Also included may be generation of one or more structured query language queries based on the metadata to retrieve aggregated values of a measure for each of the facet values of each of the plurality of facets from the relational database, and generation of the interface to display each of the aggregated values in association with a corresponding facet value in the determined display order.

  • Publication number: 20070276815
    Abstract: A computer readable storage medium includes executable instructions to receive an input message specifying a query identifier and query parameters. A query definition specified by the query identifier is retrieved. The query parameters are mapped in accordance with the query definition to form a query. The query is passed to a semantic layer with semantically dynamic objects. Query results are received from the semantic layer. The query results are mapped to a specified web service interface to form an output message.
