20150052099 | DISPLAYING HISTORICAL DATA ASSOCIATED WITH DATA VALUES WITHIN BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE REPORTS - The current subject matter describes displaying historical data associated with one or more data values within a business intelligence report. A graphical user interface executed by a computing device can receive, from a user, a request for display of historical data associated with a specified/selected data value in a business intelligence report. Subsequently, a representational state transfer engine (RESTful engine), which can be connected to a server system connected to the computing device, can execute a representational state transfer service (RESTful service) to fetch historical data from current and past instances associated with the data value. Then, the RESTful engine can write the fetched historical data to a file. The RESTful engine can generate or determine a uniform resource locator (URL) to the file, and can send the URL to the computing device. When the URL is selected by the user, the computing device can display the file. | 2015-02-19 |
20150052100 | AUTOMATED DOCUMENT REVISION TRIMMING IN A COLLABORATIVE MULTI-USER DOCUMENT STORE - Methods, systems and techniques for managing revisions of documents in a collaborative, multiuser document store are provided. Example embodiments provide an Automated Document Revision Management Server (“ADRMS”) to automatically cluster and remove revisions of file content for easy navigation and management.

Specifically, in a typical embodiment, when a message is received on a broker system from a publisher system, the broker system analyzes the message for potentially repetitive data. Such data can be determined from historical messages (e.g., determining that a certain set of data appeared in multiple messages and is thus flagged in a database or the like), a set of rules (e.g., if data set “Y” appears, flag it as potentially repetitive), etc. Regardless, once such a set of data has been identified, a unique identifier/key corresponding thereto will be sent back to the publisher system and the set of data will be stored in a (data) cache. Upon receipt, the publisher system will cache/store the unique identifier in a (key) cache. Then, when the publisher system generates a future message that would contain the same set of data, the publisher system will substitute the unique identifier (as retrieved from the key cache) for the set of data to yield an abbreviated/truncated message. The abbreviated message would be sent to the broker system, which would: analyze the message; locate the unique identifier; retrieve the corresponding set of data from the (data) cache; replace the unique identifier with the set of data to yield a completed message; and then send the completed message to relevant subscriber system(s). | 2015-02-19 |
