  • Advanced desktop reporting
    Patent number: 7587416
    Abstract: A multidimensional database report is automatically generated from data provided by an application without the need to access a server or server application. A client-side process takes the data from a desktop or client-side application and generates cube files that are stored locally with respect to the desktop application. A cube-consuming application retrieves the multidimensional data from the cube files and constructs a client-side generated report. The report is generated in real-time and respects the settings for the data used in the desktop application. The data in the generated cube files stays connected with the desktop application, so that when data is updated in the application, the data in the cube is also updated.
