  • Patent number: 10997193
    Abstract: A method and system for managing queries in business intelligence platforms. It is determined that at least one requirement to complete a first query exceeds a threshold and in response, a redacted report failing to exceed the threshold is generated. The first query requests data from at least one business intelligence content from a first geographical region. In response to detecting a rejection, by a user, of the redacted report after the user had been prompted, to accept or reject the redacted report: (i) the first query is converted to a second query configured to be used by an Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) program from a second geographical region; and (ii) a report responsive to the first query is generated.
