  • Patent number: 9767180
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for managing time dimension tables are disclosed. In a first aspect, the method comprises providing an intelligent time dimension agent application and optimizing a time dimension table by the intelligent time dimension agent based upon changing data in associated fact tables. In a second aspect, the system comprises a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the memory includes an application which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to carry out the steps of the method. In a third aspect, the computer program product comprises a non-transitory computer readable medium having a computer readable program recorded thereon, wherein the computer readable program, when executed on a computer device, causes the computer device to carry out the steps of the method.

  • Patent number: 8214364
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a method for detecting changes in behavior of authorized users of computer resources and reporting the detected changes to the relevant individuals. The method includes evaluating actions performed by each user against user behavioral models and business rules. As a result of the analysis, a subset of users may be identified and reported as having unusual or suspicious behavior. In response, the management may provide feedback indicating that the user behavior is due to the normal expected business needs or that the behavior warrants further review. The management feedback is available for use by machine learning algorithms to improve the analysis of user actions over time. Consequently, investigation of user actions regarding computer resources is facilitated and data loss is prevented more efficiently relative to the prior art approaches with only minimal disruption to the ongoing business processes.
