Abstract: A target drill-through metadata manager has a target drill-through metadata handler and a target specification processor. The target drill-through metadata handler defines and manages target drill-through metadata in a metadata model for model constructs that are selected as drill-through target constructs. The target specification processor processes a target report definition using the target drill-through metadata to locate a data item that refers to a drill-through target construct or part of a drill-through target construct, and automatically adds one or more target filters associated with the drill-through target construct to a target report.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided for generating a filter expression using tree parameters receives an expression wherein operators of the expression bind multiple data items to a single parameter to form a received expression, generates a default prompt control using received metadata and the received expression and prompts for an input selection using the default prompt control. Responsive to receiving selected values in response to the default prompt control to form received values the computer-implemented process generates a native database query using the received expression with the single parameter and the received values, wherein the single parameter is a tree parameter.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided for creating drill-through parameter mapping candidates. A location of source metadata and target metadata is received as well as a set of parameter mapping candidates. The source metadata, target metadata, and parameter mapping candidates are analyzed in order to form analyzed metadata. A set of parameter mapping candidates are then generated using the analyzed metadata, which are then prepared for presentation to an agent. A sorted set of parameter mapping candidates is then returned to the agent. In addition, a location of the source metadata and the target metadata as well as the set of parameter mapping candidates is sent to a parameter mapping creation process. A request is sent to retrieve a created parameter mapping candidate from the parameter mapping creation process. A parameter mapping candidate is then displayed to a user and a gesture of the user is acted upon.

Abstract: A source drill-through metadata manager comprises a source drill-through metadata handler and a source specification processor. The source drill-through metadata handler defines and manages source drill-through metadata in a metadata model for query items that are drill-through source items. The source specification processor automatically analyzes query items used in a report definition to locate any query item that is related to a query item defined as a drill-through source item based on the source drill-through metadata so as to identify one or more relevant drill-through source query items for one or more query items located during the analyzing, and automatically adding one or more relevant data items to a source report definition.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a multi-functional utility table used in a wide variety of ways. The utility table comprises of a flat horizontal tabletop cutting board made from USDA/FDA approved composite material that's attached to a post-engaging clamping bracket. Its preferred embodiment, a Utility Table that is mounted to an existing dock/pier consisting of man-made structures. The purpose of the Utility Table is to be used primarily on narrow finger dock/pier(s), or any other solid structures. It can be used to clean/fillet fish, attach rod holders, place tackle/tool boxes and drinks on. It also has the ability to be used in a standing or sitting position. This utility table is easily attached or removed. It also can be adjusted up to various desired heights when not in use so not to impede any pedestrian traffic without having to remove the utility table from witch it is attached to.

Abstract: Systems and methods for storing configuration data for process control systems are described. In one embodiment, a method for storing configuration data for a Fieldbus device can include generating one or more first documents based on a first document type definition in a markup language, and generating one or more second documents based on a second document type definition in the markup language. The one or more first documents can include one or more block identifiers for identifying one or more function blocks associated with the Fieldbus device. The one or more second documents can be associated with the one or more function blocks and can include one or more parameter identifiers for identifying one or more parameters associated with the one or more function blocks.
