Web intelligent document was a data source

A computer-implemented method associated with web intelligence reports, comprising:

• receiving, at a Software Development Kit (“SDK”) component of a web intelligence report server, web intelligence data model authoring information, associated with a document, via an authoring Application Programming Interface (“API”), wherein the SDK component is to manage sessions, states, security, and resource access;
• creating, by a compound database platform of an in-memory database, a report result via a data flow merge operation that combines multiple data sources into a single data source, based on the web intelligence data model authoring information, data sources associated with a plurality of data source types, and data access associated with a plurality of data layers;
• storing the report result in a report repository;
• receiving, by query facilities, web intelligence data model consumption information from a report engine and transmitting a get metadata message to the compound database platform;
• and
• executing, by a calculation engine, calculation plans on top of data stored in compound database platform, wherein the calculation receives web intelligence data model consumption information from the query facilities and transmits a get data message to the compound database platform,
• wherein the web intelligence data model is associated with a Web intelligence document as a data Source (“WaaS”) reusable in other documents.

A non-transitory, computer readable medium having executable instructions stored therein that, when executed by a computer processor cause the processor to perform a method associated with web intelligence reports, the method comprising:

• receiving, at a Software Development Kit (“SDK”) component of a web intelligence report server, web intelligence data model authoring information, associated with a document, via an authoring Application Programming Interface (“API”), wherein the SDK component is to manage sessions, states, security, and resource access;
• creating, by a compound database platform of an in-memory database, a report result via a data flow merge operation that combines multiple data sources into a single data source, based on the web intelligence data model authoring information, data sources associated with a plurality of data source types, and data access associated with a plurality of data layers;
• storing the report result in a report repository;
• receiving, by query facilities, web intelligence data model consumption information from a report engine and transmitting a get metadata message to the compound database platform;
• and
• executing, by a calculation engine, calculation plans on top of data stored in compound database platform, wherein the calculation receives web intelligence data model consumption information from the query facilities and transmits a get data message to the compound database platform,
• wherein the web intelligence data model is associated with a Web intelligence document as a data Source (“WaaS”) reusable in other documents.
