  • Patent number: 7707156
    Abstract: Method and system for partitioning and delivery data using a delegation object is disclosed. The delegation object is a first-class object, and includes a master data set definition, a data dimension-to-user mapping and a target organization definition. The target organization definition defines relationships between the master data set definition and the data dimension-to-user mapping. The delegation object is used to create a specific data set from a master data set.

  • Publication number: 20060004813
    Abstract: A system and method for representing a very large dataset that enables a plan manager to define, based upon an organization modelling object, a delegation modelling object for a very large dataset. A very large dataset delegation of multiple subplans is created whose subplans can then be individually filtered for specific size restrictions. This enables a plan manager to filter the definition of each subplan prior to the execution of the delegation modelling object, precluding any need for higher-level subplans to contain all the data contained in their subordinate subplans. This allows subplans to contain increased levels of detail not included in their superior subplans, detail that will instead only be summarized in higher-level subplans. A subsequent consolidation process will then extract data not found at higher levels from each delegated subplan, and return that data to its original dataset.

  • Publication number: 20050177532
    Abstract: A delegation object as a first-class business modeling object and method and system for providing same are disclosed. The delegation object includes a master data set definition, at least one data dimension-to-user mapping, and a target organization definition defining relationships between the master data set definition and the mapping. The method includes the steps of defining a master data set, mapping at least one data dimension to a user, and defining relationships between the master data set and the mapping.

  • Publication number: 20040160385
    Abstract: An organization object as a first class business modeling object, and method and system for providing same are disclosed. The organization object includes at least one data dimension reference, at least one user identifier defining intended recipients, and a mapping between each data dimension reference and at least one user identifier. The method includes the steps of referencing at least one data dimension, defining intended recipients, and mapping each data dimension reference with at least one intended recipient.
