System and method for management of an automatic OLAP report broadcast system
First Claim
1. A system for managing automatic generation of output from an on-line analytical processing system, comprising:
- service processing means for processing at least one scheduled service in an on-line analytical processing system;
output forwarding means for automatically forwarding output from the services to one or more subscriber output devices specified for that service;
processing management means for managing the operation of the service processing means; and
wherein the processing management means manages a plurality of operations of the service processing means automatically based on predetermined performance criteria specified by an administrative user.

Abstract
A system, method and processor medium that manages automatic generation of output from an on-line analytical processing system. Scheduled services are processed in an on-line analytical processing 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 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.
