Abstract: An automated, multi-stage decommissioning method for business intelligence artifacts may comprise generating a classification for a business intelligence artifact in a business intelligence environment; determining, based on the classification, whether the business intelligence artifact is a target artifact to be decommissioned; and if the business intelligence artifact is determined to be a target artifact, then initiating a decommissioning process on the target artifact.

Abstract: In various implementations, local identifiers associated with users may be utilized to enable access one or more functions in a Business Intelligence (BI) Environment. A mapping may be generated to associate local identifiers and users. The mapping may be utilized to enable access in the BI environment by retrieving the local identifier from a mapping and enabling access in the BI environment based on the local identifier. In various implementations, a user may access the system as another user.

Abstract: In various implementations, improvement of a business intelligence ecosystem may include analyzing component(s) of a business intelligence ecosystem, identifying candidate improvements, applying at least a portion of candidate improvements, and/or verifying effects of the candidate improvements. Candidate improvements for business intelligence artifact(s), underlying data sources, BI environment configurations, metadata models, and/or computing resources may be analyzed and identified.

Abstract: In various implementations, a supplemental system may be provided. The supplemental system may be coupled to business intelligence environment(s) to facilitate visual identification of meaningful differences. In some implementations, expressions to exclude may be identified and specifications associated with BI Artifacts may be instrumented based on the expressions to exclude. Enhanced Business Intelligence Artifact Outputs may be generated to visually identify differences between BI Artifact Outputs that are not associated with expressions to exclude.

Abstract: Methods for automatically testing a business intelligence artifact in a business intelligence system include authoring a business intelligence artifact; creating an assertion with conditions to verify the proper functioning of the business intelligence artifact; testing, with an automated agent interfaced with the business intelligence system, the business intelligence artifact to verify its proper functioning by determining whether the conditions of the assertion are satisfied; and reporting if the conditions of the assertion are not satisfied.
