  • Patent number: 7260577
    Abstract: A layered architecture for communication of reporting system reports to users connecting via a web server. Users communicate via HTTP with web servers without download of plugins or executable files to the user system. The web servers are clustered to balance requests and transmit the requests. The web servers pass report requests via XML to the business intelligence servers to perform the work with the databases. The business intelligence servers convert reports into XML and provide the XML-based version to the web server. The web server then transmits an HTML or DHTML report back to the client over the web.

  • Patent number: 7228303
    Abstract: A remote client interface to manipulate OLAP and other reports is described. A Web client or other thin client may access an intelligence server via an intermediate network server. The network server may translate between HTML or other code supplied by the client, in order to access a database serviced by the intelligence server in all its functionality. For instance, a user may clink onto a linkable URL to access a stored report run against the remote database, and perform operations on that report, such as doing a table pivot, page down, running totals or averages, or other functions. Multiple users may access the report and other data resources using different interfaces.
