A system, method and processor medium that manages automatic generation of output from an on-line analytical processing (OLAP) system. Scheduled services are processed in an OLAP system and output from the OLAP system is then automatically forwarded to one or more subscriber output devices specified for that service. The system manages the operation of the service processing system to increase throughput, increase speed, and improve administrator control over the processing. The system enables administrator control over processing by enabling administrators to view all services and all subscribers of the system, by maintaining an address book containing entries for subscribers of the service, and by scheduling processing of services. The system governs the volume of services being processed, the number of subscribers to a particular service, and the number of output devices to which a service may be broadcast.

The system manages the operation of the service processing system to increase throughput, increase speed, and improve the administrator control over the processing. The system may maintain dynamic recipient lists that are resolved by system. The system enables administrator control over processing by enabling administrators to view all services and all subscribers of the system, by maintaining an address book containing entries for subscribers of the service and enables a system user to view the contents of the address book, and by scheduling processing of services. The system governs the volume of services being processed, the number of subscribers to a particular service, and the number of output devices to which a service may be broadcast.

A system and method for creation and automatic deployment of audible personalized, dynamic and interactive services, including information derived from on-line analytical processing (OLAP) systems, to a two-way communication device, including electronic mail, two-way pagers, phones, personal digital assistants, and telephones, based on subscriber-specified criteria.

System and method for automatic transmission of audible on-line analytical processing system report output

A system for automatic generation of personalized output from an on-line analytical processing system. The system processes at least one scheduled service in an on-line analytical processing system and generates personalized output based on personalization information for subscribers of the service to one or more subscriber output devices. The system enables a user to specify global and service-specific personalization information including specification of multidimensional filters to be applied to services and the specification of trigger criteria to be satisfied before output is generated. Personalization information may also be set for each output device for a particular subscriber.

System and method for automatic transmission of personalized OLAP report output

A system for generation of output from an on-line analytical processing system to user output devices that comprises a service processor that processes at least one scheduled service in an on-line analytical processing system and generating a service output, each service comprising at least one query to be performed by the on4ine analytical processing system. The system then formats the service output according to styles specified for each user output device specified to receive that service output. The system then forwards the formatted service output to the user output devices specified for that service. The styles specified comprise a plurality of predefined parameters regarding the format for the service output for use by that user output device, including enclosure handling parameters and text grid parameters. The output may be formatted into multiple messages and may be formatted for an HTML mail system, an audio system, particular types of pager systems, electronic mail, web pages, mobile phones, telephones, facsimiles, personal digital assistants, and other electronic devices. A natural language formatting system may also be employed to generate natural language output.

System and method of adapting automatic output of service related OLAP reports to disparate output devices

A system for automatically generating output from an on-line analytical processing system based on scheduled services specified by subscribers of the system. The system processes scheduled services in an on-line analytical processing system with each service comprising at least one query to be performed by the on-line analytical processing system. The system then automatically forwards output from the services to one or more subscriber output devices specified for that service. Users may define new services, including the schedule of the services and the type, such as alert services or scheduled services, and may also subscriber to the services provided by the system. If an alert service is processed, the system may forward output only when one or more alert criteria are satisfied. Subscribers may be specified by a dynamic recipient list that is resolved each time the service is processed to determine recipients of the service output. The output devices the system may forward output to may comprise electronic mailbox, facsimile, printer, mobile phone, telephone, PDA or pager.
