First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for monitoring one or more data items in a database, comprising:
- using at least one processor that is programmed or configured for performing a process, the process comprising;
determining a set of parameters for identifying at least one data item amongst the one or more data items in the database;
determining criteria for recommending or requiring user action for the at least one data item to be identified;
creating a watchlist item definition for evaluating the one or more data items in the database, wherein the watchlist item definition defines at least the determined set of parameters for identifying the at least one data item amongst the one or more data items in the database and the determined criteria for recommending or requiring user action for the at least one data item to be identified, wherein at least one parameter of the determined set of parameters defines an interval at which the data items in the database is to be evaluated;
evaluating the watchlist item definition at the defined interval to identify the at least one data item, wherein the evaluation comprises comparing the one or more data items in the database against the defined set of parameters in the watchlist item definition;
presenting an indication of the identified at least one data item; and
providing an alert recommending or requiring user action when the identified at least one data item meets the criteria for recommending or requiring user action defined in the watchlist item definition, wherein the alert is a warning alert when the identified at least one data item meets a warning threshold, and wherein the alert is a critical alert when the identified at least one data item meets the warning threshold and a critical threshold.

10. A non-transitory computer program product embodied on a computer readable medium, the non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon a sequence of instructions which, when executed by a processor causes the processor to execute a method for monitoring data items in a database comprising:
-
determining a set of parameters for identifying at least one data item amongst the one or more data items in the database; determining criteria for recommending or requiring user action for the at least one data item to be identified; creating a watchlist item definition for evaluating the one or more data items in the database, wherein the watchlist item definition defines at least the determined set of parameters for identifying the at least one data item amongst the one or more data items in the database and the determined criteria for recommending or requiring user action for the at least one data item to be identified, wherein at least one parameter of the determined set of parameters defines an interval at which the data items in the database is to be evaluated; evaluating the watchlist item definition at the defined interval to identify the at least one data item, wherein the evaluation comprises comparing the one or more data items in the database against the defined set of parameters in the watchlist item definition; presenting an indication of the identified at least one data item; and providing an alert recommending or requiring user action when the identified at least one data item meets the criteria for recommending or requiring user action defined in the watchlist item definition, wherein the alert is a warning alert when the identified at least one data item meets a warning threshold, and wherein the alert is a critical alert when the identified at least one data item meets the warning threshold and a critical threshold. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A system for monitoring data items in a database, comprising:
-
a processor; a memory comprising computer code executed using the processor, in which the computer code implements a process for; determining a set of parameters for identifying at least one data item amongst the one or more data items in the database; determining criteria for recommending or requiring user action for the at least one data item to be identified; creating a watchlist item definition for evaluating the one or more data items in the database, wherein the watchlist item definition defines at least the determined set of parameters for identifying the at least one data item amongst the one or more data items in the database and the determined criteria for recommending or requiring user action for the at least one data item to be identified, wherein at least one parameter of the determined set of parameters defines an interval at which the data items in the database is to be evaluated; evaluating the watchlist item definition at the defined interval to identify the at least one data item, wherein the evaluation comprises comparing the one or more data items in the database against the defined set of parameters in the watchlist item definition; presenting an indication of the identified at least one data item; and providing an alert recommending or requiring user action when the identified at least one data item meets the criteria for recommending or requiring user action defined in the watchlist item definition, wherein the alert is a warning alert when the identified at least one data item meets a warning threshold, and wherein the alert is a critical alert when the identified at least one data item meets the warning threshold and a critical threshold. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
