Navigating from an alert related to a state of a data object to a source of the alert includes displaying alerts in a portal environment. The portal environment has an analytical portal application associated with an analytical data store and a transaction portal application associated with a transaction data store. One of the alerts includes a transaction alert that is associated with a data object in the transaction data and another of the alerts includes an analytical alert that is associated with a data object. An indication of a transaction alert or an analytical alert is received from a user. When the indication is an indication of an analytical alert, navigation occurs to the analytical portal application. When the indication is an indication of the transaction alert, navigation occurs to the transaction portal application.

Providing portal navigation for alerts

One implementation provides a computer system for invoking execution of analytical tasks in sequence. In this implementation, the computer system is programmed to receive a request to execute an analytical task from a front-end software application, and determine that a first additional analytical task needs to be executed before the requested analytical task. The computer system is then programmed to invoke execution of the first additional analytical task on a first analytical engine. Using information generated from the execution of the first additional analytical task, the computer system is then programmed to invoke execution of the requested analytical task on a second analytical engine.

Analytical task invocation

A method of compiling values that relate to aggregate data includes providing, from a data warehouse system and to a computer device, an output that causes a visual display of an aggregate data portion on the computer device. The aggregate data portion has been aggregated from selected data records in a data source system. There is received, at the data warehouse system and from the computer device, a user input indicating a request to compile values stored in a field of each of the selected data records. The method includes compiling, in the data warehouse system, the values stored in the field of each of the selected data records. The compiled values may be used to create a target group for a marketing campaign.

Compiling values that relate to aggregate data

One implementation provides a computer system that integrates software applications with analytical software applications. In this implementation, the computer system is programmed to receive a request from a software application to execute an analytical task, such as a prediction task or a key performance indicator (KPI) lookup task. The request includes a task name and input information. The computer system then uses the task name to identify an analytical engine and a data store, and invokes an analytical software application in the analytical engine to execute the analytical task. The analytical task is executed using the identified data store and the received input information. The computer system receives task output from the invoked analytical software application, the task output including output information generated during execution of the analytical task. The computer system then sends the output information to the software application that made the request.

Analytical application framework

One implementation provides a computer system that allows front-end software applications to use multiple versions of a data mining model during execution of analytical tasks. In this implementation, the computer system includes a model version selection module that is operable to use a task name in a task request received from a front-end software application to determine a specific version of a data mining model to be used during execution of an analytical task. The computer system also includes a mapping module that is operable to map input data included in the task request received from the front-end software application into a format usable by the specific version of the data mining model.

Mining model versioning

One implementation provides a computer system that is capable of processing task requests from front-end software applications. The computer system is programmed to receive a task request from a front-end software application. The task request includes input values and a task name that is associated with an analytical task of a particular type to be executed. The computer system is also programmed to use the task request to select a subset of the input values needed for execution of the analytical task of the particular type, create a task invocation request that includes the selected input values, and send the task invocation request to an analytical engine.
