Abstract: A method for performing business control task notification is proposed. The method comprises processing a combination of one or more databases and one or more user profiles to generate a schedule template and receive a request for a schedule. A computer program product compares attributes of the request for the schedule to a user profile and a schedule template to identify one or more events of the schedule template to be accessed from one or more of a plurality of distributed databases and forms a query to be sent to the one or more distributed databases. The query is sent to a particular database among the plurality of distributed databases. The computer program product receives a positive response to the query, indicating that the particular database contains a first event for the schedule, and the event. In response to receiving the event, the schedule is created. The schedule is stored. One or more current events in the schedule requiring a notification are identified, and the notification is sent to a destination.

Abstract: A system and method for controlling access to an ACL list protected database. Each of one or more access control documents includes a start time or an end time, and a start access control list or an end access control list. An access control agent permits access to the database after the start time by reference to the start access control list and after the end time by reference to the end access control list.

Abstract: A method and computer system for generating and maintaining database instances. A template manager creates the template for generating the instances based on design information, stores the template in a template manager database, generates N instances (N≧2) based on the template and on control information for the N instances, stores the N instances in the template manager database, and transmits the N instances to corresponding N locations. The control information includes access control information and configuration control information that includes identification of N locations corresponding to the N instances. The template manager refreshes the template based on update design information, refreshes the N instances based on the refreshed template, and transmits the N refreshed instances to the corresponding N locations. The template manager may refresh M of the N instances (M≦N), based on update control information, and transmit the M refreshed instances to the corresponding M locations.

Abstract: Aspects of the present invention provide a solution for reducing cycle time of automatically created spreadsheets. Specifically, an embodiment of the present invention provides a way to create a spreadsheet from data that is in a native format more quickly and/or efficiently. To do so, the invention accesses a control file using optimized settings to create the spreadsheet. Then, after creation of the spreadsheet, the invention uses a second control file having the final settings to modify the spreadsheet in preparation for output. The invention may use agents to perform all or a portion of these activities.

Abstract: Under the present invention, index keys are generated for a set of documents. This is typically accomplished by examining the set of documents, and connecting data values extracted from the set of documents to yield the index keys. Once the index keys are generated, an index view will be generated into which the index keys are populated. Using the index keys in the index view, an agent will automatically obtain the set of documents (i.e., in the background). Then, when a user requests one of the documents, the document will already have been retrieved from storage. As such, it can readily be provided to the user. It should be understood that as used herein, the term “document” is intended to refer to any type of electronically stored data.

Abstract translation: 在本发明中，为一组文档生成索引关键字。 这通常通过检查文档集合以及连接从该组文档中提取的数据值以产生索引关键字来实现。 一旦生成索引键，将生成索引视图，索引键将被填充到该索引视图中。 使用索引视图中的索引键，代理将自动获取文档集（即在后台）。 然后，当用户请求其中一个文档时，文档已经从存储器中检索。 因此，可以容易地向用户提供。 应当理解，如本文所使用的，术语文件旨在表示任何类型的电子存储数据。

Abstract: A system and method for determining earned values (EVs) of progress of a project. At least one EV calculation rule is defined for calculating EVs in terms of components to be combined into the EVs, locations in which the components are located, and formulae required to combine the components. The defined at least one EV calculation rule is used to calculate the Evs. The at least one EV calculation rule, which includes the components, the locations, and the formulae, is stored. Defining the at least one EV calculation rule includes: identifying the components used to calculate the Evs; identifying the locations in which the components are located; and identifying the formulae specifying how the components are combined to create the EVs.

Abstract: A method and system for uniformly displaying and reporting uniform project completion information, such as uniform earned value measurements (EV), of a large-scale project having a number of individual subprojects. A set of EV Calculation Rules are defined and used as a guide in creating the uniform EVs. The uniform EVs are calculated, then reported. The EV Calculation Rules used to calculate the uniform EVs include an identification of components of the databases required, the locations of these components and the mathematical formulae used to combine these components. On-demand, scheduled and/or event agents implement the rules to create the EV reports.

Abstract: A system for managing temporary processing agents. A first code routine is provided as an empty routine in an agent including first executable code, the empty routine consisting of non-executable code. A programming component selectively loads second executable code to the first routine for converting the empty routine to a populated routine. A code element issues a call to the first routine. An agent execution component is responsive to the first routine being a populated routine for executing the second executable code.
