Apparatus and method to selectively provide information to one or more computing devices
First Claim
1. A method to selectively provide information to one or more computing devices, comprising the steps of:
- providing an information storage and retrieval system comprising first information, a first logical partition, and a second logical partition, wherein said first information is disposed in said first logical partition;
receiving by said information storage and retrieval system from a first customer a customer business policy specifying a time interval after which data is made available to business partners;
receiving by said information storage and retrieval system from said first customer a plurality of customer-defined data extraction algorithms;
based upon said customer business policy, forming by said processor second information comprising an instantaneous point-in-time copy of said first information;
forming by said processor a plurality of customer-specific datasets from said second information using said plurality of customer-defined data extraction algorithms;
migrating by said processor said plurality of customer-specific datasets from said first logical partition to said second logical partition, wherein one or more computing devices have access rights to said second logical partition but not to said first logical partition.

Abstract
A method is disclosed to selectively provide information to one or more remote computing devices. The method provides an information storage and retrieval system comprising first information, a first logical partition, and a second logical partition, where the first information is disposed in the first logical partition. The method further provides a data extraction algorithm, forms second information comprising an instantaneous point-in-time copy of the first information, and forms third information from the second information using the data extraction algorithm. The method then migrates the third information from the first logical partition to the second logical partition, and provides access rights to that third information to one or more computing devices capable of communicating with the information storage and retrieval system.

12. An information storage and retrieval system comprising first information and an information storage medium having computer readable program code disposed therein to selectively provide one or more subsets of that first information to one or more computing devices, the computer readable program code comprising a series of computer readable program steps to effect:
-
receiving from a first customer a customer business policy; based upon said customer business policy, forming second information comprising an instantaneous point-in-time copy of said first information; receiving from said first customer a plurality of customer-defined data extraction algorithms; forming a plurality of customer-specific datasets from said second information using said plurality of customer-defined data extraction algorithms; migrating said plurality of customer-specific datasets from said first logical partition to said second logical partition, wherein one or more computing devices have access rights to said second logical partition but not to said first logical partition. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. A computer program product encoded in an information storage medium and usable with a programmable computer processor to selectively provide one or more subsets of first information from an information storage and retrieval system comprising first information to one or more computing devices, comprising:
-
computer readable program code which causes said programmable computer processor to receive from a first customer a customer business policy specifying a time interval after which data is made available to business partners; computer readable program code which, based upon said customer business policy, causes said programmable computer processor to form second information comprising an instantaneous point-in-time copy of said first information; computer readable program code which causes said programmable computer processor to receive from said first customer a plurality of customer-defined data extraction algorithms; computer readable program code which causes said programmable computer processor to form a plurality of customer-specific datasets from said second information using said plurality of customer-defined data extraction algorithms; computer readable program code which causes said programmable computer processor to migrate said plurality of customer-specific datasets from said first logical partition to said second logical partition, wherein one or more computing devices have access rights to said second logical partition but not to said first logical partition. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
