A preferred aggregate store for a multidimensional database receives and stores intermediate data generated as part of a larger query for avoiding repetitive or redundant data retrievals incurring costly data paths. Aggregates include intermediate tables and sets of data, often generated from a join of two or more distinct data tables, combined for generating a query result. In the event an aggregate is called for, certain storage locations may be preferable to others due to network distance, fees for storage and processing, as in the case of cloud storage, or write accessibility. Designation of a preferred aggregate store ensures that aggregates called for by the query processing are stored in a beneficial location for cost and efficiency.

Preferred storage of aggregate data items

An e-mail relay provides message filtering services to an e-mail network. The e-mail relay monitors incoming communication and intercepts e-mail messages. The e-mail relay compares attributes of the messages to data derived from SPAM messages, which are stored in a SPAM database. The e-mail relay restricts the delivery of messages based on the comparison such as by restricting the delivery of messages having attributes close to those of SPAM messages from the SPAM database. The SPAM database is constructed by responding to user or administrator indications as to whether received messages are SPAM messages.

Method and system for filtering communication

A relay provides message filtering services to an e-mail network. The relay monitors incoming communication and intercepts e-mail messages. The relay applies a policy to received messages to determine whether a message should be delayed. The relay applies a policy to delayed messages by reference to a delayed processing event which triggers the delayed processing. The relay updates policy data in accordance by employing an update module. The relay then restricts the delivery of messages having attributes close to those of harmful data as provided by a policy database.

Delay technique in e-mail filtering system

A policy is established comprising a condition having a multiphase attribute of a multiphase transaction. Phase specific policies are established for each phase in which the multiphase attribute may become known. The multiphase transaction is evaluated according to the phase specific policies at each phase of the multiphase transaction in which the multiphase attribute may become known until a policy decision of the policy is determined.

Traffic control techniques are provided for intercepting an initial message in a handshaking procedure for a secure communication between a first device and a second device at a proxy device. Identification information associated with the second device is extracted from the initial message. A policy is applied to communications between the first device and second device based on the identification information.

Transport layer security traffic control using service name identification

Techniques are presented for seamless engagement and disengagement of Transport Layer Security proxy services. A first initial message of a handshaking procedure for a first secure communication session between a first device and a second device is intercepted at a proxy device. The first initial message of the handshaking procedure is saved at the proxy device. A second initial message of a second handshaking procedure for a second secure communication session between the proxy device and the second device is sent from the proxy device to the second device. It is determined from the second handshaking procedure that inspection of the first secure communication session is not to be performed by the proxy device. The first secure communication session is established without examination of the communication traffic by the proxy device.
