Methods, systems, and computer-readable storage media for providing insight providers, each including a logic component and a configuration component, each logic component including a respective domain-specific model, and each configuration component including parameter values for processing data using the respective domain-specific model, receiving a set of assets including data indicative of one or more assets, retrieving asset data associated with the set of assets, the asset data including OT data and IT data, the OT data being provided from networked devices, the IT data being provided from one or more enterprise systems, processing the OT data and the IT data using respective domain-specific models of the logic components of the insight providers to provide a result set, the result set including one or more of a second set of assets and enriched data, and transmitting graphical representations for display in GUI that are respectively specific to an insight provider.

Data analytics system using insight providers

Methods, systems, and computer-readable storage media for providing an insight provider including a logic component and a configuration component, the logic component including a domain-specific model, the configuration component including one or more parameter values for processing data using the domain-specific model, receiving a set of assets including data indicative of one or more assets, retrieving asset data associated with at least one asset of the first set of assets, the asset data including OT data and IT data, the OT data being provided from one or more networked devices, the IT data being provided from one or more enterprise systems, and processing the OT data and the IT data using the domain-specific model of the logic component to provide a result set, the result set including one or more of a second set of assets and enriched data.

A method and system includes a server that provides a business management service to multiple independent customers. A template repository provides predefined templates, and a configuration storage stores customer changes to the predefined templates that represent customized templates. A user interface facilitates selection of customized templates as a function of scope of work for fine tuning.

Transporting of flexibility changes of customer content between tenants in a multi-tenant computing system can be performed by exporting customer content from a first tenant of the multi-tenant computing system, transporting the customer content exported from the first tenant to a second tenant of the multi-tenant computing system, importing the customer content into a staging area in the second tenant to enable a user associated with second tenant to access the customer content via the staging area based on a content extraction trigger, and activating selected customer content from the staging area in a productive component of the second tenant. The content extraction trigger can characterize an extraction of at least some of the customer content from the staging area. Related methods, systems, and articles of manufacture are also disclosed.

In business systems, one or more methods can be used to reduce an amount of redundant data. In one implementation, a method to reduce redundancy within a data model in a database, in which the data model is represented by at least one table, includes determining a number of distinct values of partial keys in a table. Each partial key represents at least one row in the table. The method includes reordering one or more columns of the table by cardinality of partial keys, in which the cardinality of a partial key represents a number of distinct values of the partial key. The method further includes determining whether pairs of partial keys are functionally dependent and eliminating one or more columns having functional dependencies from the table.

Automatic elimination of functional dependencies between columns

In a business system, one or more methods can be used to reduce an amount of redundancy in the storage of data. One implementation includes a method of reducing a memory footprint of a database table having multiple rows and one or more columns, in which each of the one or more columns has a cardinality, and the cardinality is a total number of different values in the rows of each column. The method includes comparing the cardinality with a total number of possible values in the rows of at least one column based on a width of the column. The method also includes reducing the width of the column if the cardinality is less than a threshold based on the total number of possible values in the rows of the column.

A system and method for selective form configuration. According to an embodiment of the invention, an engine retrieves a form template from a data store, the form template specifying a plurality of form elements, parses the form template to identify one or more configurable form elements from the plurality of form elements, presents to a user via a user interface one or more selectable options specifying configuration settings to govern modifications of the one or more identified configurable form elements, receives from the user interface a selection of the one or more options provided by the user, generates a descriptor identifying the selected options provided by the user, and associates the descriptor with the form template.

Methods and apparatus, including computer systems and program products, relating to an information management system and aggregating data by performing table scans. In general, in one aspect, the technique includes receiving a query for a response to a search on a database, loading data from the database into memory, filtering the data based on the query to generate a list of results, buffering at least one key figure corresponding to a result, buffering at least one dimension value corresponding to each key figure, aggregating the dimension values to generate an aggregate key, aggregating key figures corresponding to the sane aggregate key to generate one or more aggregate key figures, and displaying the response to the search on a display device. Loading the data may include compressing the data. Filtering the data may be performed blockwise.

Fast aggregation of compressed data using full table scans

A method and system for executing an information retrieval query in a multiserver computing environment is disclosed. The method and system employ a technique in which the query is distributed among each of a plurality of partial index servers in the multiserver environment, and a subset of results is calculated for each of the plurality of partial index servers. Then, the subset of results are merged in one logical index server to generate a merged result.

In general, in one aspect, the technique includes receiving a query for a response to a search on a database, loading data from the database into memory, filtering the data based on the query to generate a list of results, buffering at least one key figure corresponding to a result, buffering at least one dimension value corresponding to each key figure, aggregating the dimension values to generate an aggregate key, aggregating key figures corresponding to the same aggregate key to generate one or more aggregate key figures, and displaying the response to the search on a display device. Loading the data may include compressing the data. Filtering the data may be performed blockwise.
