  • Patent number: 11386185
    Abstract: A report repository may store report results, and a web intelligence report server may include an SDK component to manage sessions, states, security, and resource access and to receive web intelligence data model authoring information, associated with a document, via an authoring API. The web intelligence report server may further include data sources associated with a plurality of data source types and data access associated with a plurality of data layers. A compound database platform of an in-memory database may create a report result via a data flow merge operation that combines multiple data sources into a single data source, based on the web intelligence data model authoring information, the data sources, and the data access. The report result may be stored in the report repository, and the web intelligence data model may be associated with a Web intelligence document as a data Source (“WaaS”) reusable in other documents.

  • Publication number: 20140344235
    Abstract: To determine a row with modified data, a dataset is retrieved from a data store and displayed on a user interface in rows and columns. A first database index corresponding to the rows is generated and stored in a technical column in the data store. An input is received on the UI to modify the displayed dataset and the modified dataset is stored in the data store. A second database index corresponding to the rows including modified dataset is generated and the associated field of the technical column in the data store is updated with the second database index. The row including the modified dataset is determined based on the second database index stored in the technical column.

  • Patent number: 8099383
    Abstract: A computer readable storage medium includes executable instructions to define a report part with a report part element and a report part identifier. A report part computation context including a report identifier, a report part element identifier and a context data path is identified. The report part is associated with the report part computation context. The report part is evaluated according to the report part computation context. A report part value is returned.

  • Patent number: 8046673
    Abstract: A computer readable medium with executable instructions to analyze a report value, includes executable instructions to select a report value and identify the formula evaluated to produce the report value. Formal parameters associated with the formula are determined. The actual parameters used to compute the report value are located. The formula, the formal parameters and the actual parameters are then displayed.

  • Patent number: 7937415
    Abstract: A computer readable storage medium comprises executable instructions to provide a first report defining a plurality of references to a plurality of data objects. The plurality of references to the plurality of data objects is analyzed to identify references to unused data objects. The references to the unused data objects are removed from the plurality of references to generate a subset of references to a subset of data objects. A second report defining the subset of references to the subset of data objects is generated.

  • Publication number: 20100161552
    Abstract: A method and system for referencing measures between tables of analytical report documents are provided. It is determined whether a source key of a source table and a target key of a target table are on compatible flows, each of the source table and the target table comprising at least one dimension column and one measure column. The source key is a combination of one or more dimensions in the source table and the target key is a combination of one or more dimensions in the target table. On determining that the source key and the target key are not on incompatible flows, the source key is projected on the intersection of the source key and the target key. Finally the target table is synchronized with the source table.
