DISPLAYING HISTORICAL DATA ASSOCIATED WITH DATA VALUES WITHIN BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE REPORTS
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, at a client browser of a computing device, a request to display historical data associated with one or more data values of a business intelligence report;
sending, by the computing device to a server system executed in an application layer, a request for generating the historical data, the server system requesting a representational state transfer engine for a uniform resource locator identifying a location of a file to be filled with the historical data, the representational state transfer engine executing a representational state transfer service to fetch the historical data from past instances of the business intelligence report and to fill the file with the historical data, the representational state transfer engine sending the uniform resource locator to the server system;
receiving, by the computing device and from the server system, the uniform resource locator; and
displaying the uniform resource locator on the client browser of the computing device, the file with the historical data being displayed on the client browser when the uniform resource locator is selected.

Abstract
The current subject matter describes displaying historical data associated with one or more data values within a business intelligence report. A graphical user interface executed by a computing device can receive, from a user, a request for display of historical data associated with a specified/selected data value in a business intelligence report. Subsequently, a representational state transfer engine (RESTful engine), which can be connected to a server system connected to the computing device, can execute a representational state transfer service (RESTful service) to fetch historical data from current and past instances associated with the data value. Then, the RESTful engine can write the fetched historical data to a file. The RESTful engine can generate or determine a uniform resource locator (URL) to the file, and can send the URL to the computing device. When the URL is selected by the user, the computing device can display the file.

10. A computing device comprising at least one programmable processor and a machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one programmable processor to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving a request to display historical data associated with one or more data values of a business intelligence report; sending, to a server system executed in an application layer, a request for fetching the historical data from past instances of the business intelligence report, the historical data being fetched based on the request, the fetched historical data being filled into a file; receiving, from the server system, a uniform resource locator identifying a location of the file; and displaying the uniform resource locator, the file with the historical data being displayed on a client browser when the uniform resource locator is selected. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)

14. A system comprising:
-
a computing device comprising a client browser to receive a request to display historical data associated with one or more data values of a business intelligence report; a server system connected to the computing device via a communication network, the server system receiving the request to display historical data, the server system executing a representational state transfer engine executing a representational state transfer service to fetch the historical data from past instances of the business intelligence report and to fill a file with the historical data, the server system sending a uniform resource locator identifying a location of the file to the computing device, the computing device displaying the uniform resource locator on the client browser. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)
