  • Patent number: 8671078
    Abstract: Embodiments are configured to provide sharing of business logic items. A document may contain business logic items, for example, sets, members, or measures. Some business logic items may be created by a publisher who wants to make the business logic available to other users so that others can access the business logic. Embodiments provide for using an integrated server platform search component to automatically retrieve business logic items which exist in one or more documents stored in a document library. This may allow for a publisher to provide business logic to other users without having to rely on the other users to retrieve the business logic from a specific document, and without requiring the other users to know of the existence of the business logic. Restrictions may be placed so that a publisher can control what specific pieces of business logic may be made available.
