Abstract: Architecture includes for translating server calculations into client application formulas. The architecture determines dependencies, performs formulae translation, and processes data retrieval queries using the translated formulae. In one implementation, the architecture translates performance management server calculations into spreadsheet application formulas so that the impact of changes can be reflected immediately. Moreover, this technique does not require updating and querying of the performance management server. An algorithm is provided that allows translation of the backend formula (e.g., MDX—multidimensional expressions) directly into the spreadsheet application such that the impact on calculated values by an input change can be reflected instantaneously in the sheet.

Abstract: Computer-readable storage media, computer-implemented methods, and systems are disclosed for a multi-platform calculation rule language and its environment. A calculation rule, presented in an expression language and specifying one or more functions, is received. The expression language, for a plurality of different platforms, allows each of a plurality of functions to be expressed using a common syntax. A selected platform is identified on which the calculation rule is to be executed. The calculation rule is resolved to the attributes of the data model in the selected platform to apply the calculation rule to the data model. The calculation rule is executed by performing the one or more functions specified in the calculation rule, and the results from executing the calculation rule are reported.

Aspects of the methods include employing an agent delivery device and an aspiration device to introduce and remove agent from a vascular site in a manner sufficient to minimize agent loss. Also provided are systems and kits for performing the subject methods. The subject invention finds use in a variety of different applications.

Abstract: Architecture for cell-based security on a per-user basis. A security model for this capability includes not only dimension level tables, but is extended to include cell level tables. The security model can include existing dimension tables, plus cell security tables that include a cell permissions table, a cell qualifiers table and a table that includes both the cell permissions table, a cell qualifiers. Metadata associated with the security applied to the cells for a given user can be stored locally in a local metadata store for retrieval and application against a data cube that an authenticated and authorized user is querying. In a specific implementation, the cell level security is employed in a performance management server application, where authentication is performed remotely by an authentication service, but the authorization function is performed local to the performance management server application.

Abstract: Computer-implemented methods and computer-readable storage media are disclosed to facilitate the application of business rules. A rule is received, the rule defining one or more calculations to be performed on specified data stored in a multidimensional database to yield at least one result. At least one database query is generated seeking the specified data to be retrieved from the multidimensional database. An intermediary table is created to accommodate the specified data retrieved from the multidimensional database. The specified data is stored in the intermediary table and the specified data is manipulated when the data is retrieved or after the specified data is stored in the intermediary table.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes selecting a first member of a first dimension of a database to be included at a first location in a report. The first member includes first data to be retrieved from the database. A blank space to be added at a second location relative to the first member is also selected. A database query is generated that includes a first instruction to retrieve first data included in the first member. The first instruction is located at a first position in the query and the first data will appear in the report at the first location. The database query also includes a second instruction to retrieve a null set of data. The second instruction is located at a second position in the query and the null set of data will appear in the report at the second location.

Abstract: Secure database access may be provided. First, a first schema associated with a database having a second schema may be defined. Next, a user type may be defined. The user type may comprise a user type that does not require a log-in. The defined user type may then be associated with the defined first schema. Next, at least one permission may be granted to the user type to the database on a database level. The at least one permission may comprise a create procedure permission, a create table permission, or a create function permission. Then permission to the second schema may be denied to the user type. Next, a procedure may be received comprising a procedure that poses a high security risk to the database. The received procedure may then be executed as the defined user type. The received procedure may be executed using a wrapper procedure.
