Patent number: 7945597Abstract: A system and a method for creating an analytical report on top of a multidimensional data model built on top of a relational or multidimensional database. The database operates in a computer system and provides returned values responsive to queries. Such a query is generated automatically and is deduced from a report definition. According to one embodiment, a report specification is used by the system and method of the present invention is able to defer the initial query of the data source, as is the case with conventional reporting tools and methods, until after the report has been defined. That is, the manner in which a analytic report is defined provides for an automatically generated query. Once the report has been defined, the data to populate such a report is retrieved to build the document.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2006Date of Patent: May 17, 2011Assignee: Business Objects Software Ltd.Inventors: Jean-Yves Cras, Ricardo Polo-Malouvier, Henri Biestro

Patent number: 7664777Abstract: A Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) having any arbitrary structure is translated into a multi-dimensional data model suitable for performing OLAP operations upon. If a relational table defining the relational model includes any tables with cardinality of 1,1 or 0,1, the tables are merged into a single table. If the relational table is not normalized, then normalization is performed and a relationship between the original table and the normalized table is created. If the relational table is normalized, but not by dependence between columns, such as in the dimension table in a snowflake schema, the normalization process is performed using the foreign key in order to generate the normalized table. Once the normalized table is generated, OLAP measures are derived from the normalized relational table by an automated method.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2007Date of Patent: February 16, 2010Assignee: Business Objects Software, Ltd.Inventors: Jean-Yves Cras, Henri Biestro, Ricardo Polo-Malouvier

Patent number: 7356779Abstract: An analytical reporting functionality provides full-fledged dynamic reporting capabilities on top of a multidimensional data model. A GUI facilitates replicating the same reporting data for various elements of a dimension. Additionally, direct interaction with the report to perform OLAP-style is enabled.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2004Date of Patent: April 8, 2008Assignee: Business Objects Software Ltd.Inventors: Jean-Yves Cras, Henri Biestro, Ricardo Polo-Malouvier
