Abstract: One embodiment provides a method of automatically managing a validation rule across a shared replicated database, the method including: utilizing at least one processor to execute computer code that performs the steps of: receiving, at a database, a first transaction associated with a user, wherein the database is associated with a node of a network comprising a plurality of nodes and wherein each of the plurality of nodes is associated with a different entity; the database being shared and replicated among the plurality of nodes; receiving, at the database, a validation rule associated with the first transaction, wherein the validation rule comprises at least one condition associated with the user; and automatically replicating the validation rule throughout the plurality of nodes. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Abstract: In the context of data administration in enterprises, an effective manner of providing a central data warehouse, particularly via employing a tool that helps by analyzing existing data and reports from different business units. In accordance with at least one embodiment of the invention, such a tool analyzes the data model of an enterprise and proposes alternatives for building a new data warehouse. The tool, in accordance with at least one embodiment of the invention, models the problem of identifying fact/dimension attributes of a warehouse model as a graph cut on a Dependency Analysis Graph (DAG). The DAG is built using existing data models and the report generation scripts. The tool also uses the DAG for generation of ETL (Extract, Transform Load) scripts that can be used to populate the newly proposed data warehouse from data present in the existing schemas.

Abstract: An embodiment of the invention provides a method and system for analyzing a plurality of reports. More specifically, a change detection module predicts results of future reports based on past reports and identifies a first report that deviates from its predicted results. A dependency analysis module connected to the change detection module at least one report sharing a dependency with the first report by performing a dependency analysis and/or a usage analysis. The dependency analysis labels the first report and at least one second report as sharing a dependency if the second report deviates from its predicted results. The usage analysis labeling the first report and at least one report analyzed by an analyst as sharing a dependency if the report analyzed by the analyst is analyzed in response to the identification of the first report.

Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamic product bundling are described herein. For example, embodiments dynamically generate product bundle for customer within a particular segment in view of that customer's interest in a particular product. Embodiments determine customer affinity, customer commonality, and product complementarity and use this information to dynamically generate and optimize product bundles for customers interested in one or more products.

Abstract: There is disclosed configuring of clustered web services nodes accessing a common database, including implementing a data virtualization layer at each node to abstract an instance of the database from a web service application. In one embodiment, at each node is performed creating a first, data virtualization entity bean having all read and write operations of an application-developed (master) entity bean, creating a second entity bean that carries only the read operations of the master entity bean and addresses the replica instance, receiving an operation request at the first entity bean, and routing a request to either the master entity bean or the second entity bean depending upon the requested operation to access the respective database instance.

Abstract: A system is described for selecting web services accessible over a network (380). The system comprises a pervasive device (10), one or more servers (20) in communication with the network (380) and supporting at least one base web service (502) that provides an output in reply to a request from the pervasive device (10). The system further comprises one or more servers (20) supporting at least one extended web service (606) operable to reduce a computational load of the pervasive device (10) in an interaction with the base web service (502). An application (504) running on the pervasive device (10) evaluates attributes of a Quality of Service (QoS) model relating to interactions between pervasive device (10), a base web service (502) and corresponding expanded web service (606). The application (504) chooses whether or not to use the corresponding web service based on the evaluated attributes.
