In accordance with one implementation, default values for personalization data adapted to or harmonized with the individual needs or preferences of the end-user are provided to a plurality of end-users at start-up of a program. Further, two personalization levels are provided, including a first personalization level containing administrative personalization data which can be set by a system administrator, and a second personalization level containing individual personalization data, which can be set by the end-user.

  • Patent number: 7599903
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for extracting data sets from an online relational database into a data warehouse. A data query based on special timestamping technique is executed. Timestamping allows extraction of only these data sets that have changed since the last extraction point. The data sets that have been already imported stay unchanged and do not need to be deleted at the time of the new import. Extraction interval of data sets including a time window enclosed by lower and upper limits is defined. The extracted data sets that have been imported twice may be filtered out with the use of, for example, an operational data store (ODS) objects. The filtered out data sets may be available in the data warehouse for the drilldown reporting.
