Method for providing a real time view of heterogeneous enterprise data

A non-transitory computer usable medium having computer readable program code embodied therein that causes a computer system to:

• generate a dynamically defined view of a stream of operational events captured in real time, wherein the dynamically defined view provides visibility into a current state of the operational systems;
• generate a hidden rule view, based on the dynamically defined view and a hidden rule, wherein the hidden rule is selected from the group consisting essentially of Fire, Raise, and Lower, wherein the hidden rule view is not output for display and is usable to evaluate the hidden rule;
• generate for display, based on the hidden rule view and context data associated with an event of the stream of events, a business view that is usable to define a set of business rules;
• and
• responsive to determining that one of the set of defined business rules holds true, generate for display, a reportlet corresponding to an alert that is based at least in part on the one of the set of defined business rules.

A computer system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and a memory comprising a plurality of instructions that when executed by the at least one processor cause the at least one processor to:
• generate a dynamically defined view of a stream of operational events captured in real time, wherein the dynamically defined view provides visibility into a current state of the operational systems;
• generate a hidden rule view, based on the dynamically defined view and a hidden rule, wherein the hidden rule is selected from the group consisting essentially of Fire, Raise, and Lower, wherein the hidden rule view is not output for display and is usable to evaluate the hidden rule;
• generate for display, based on the hidden rule view and context data associated with an event of the stream of events, a business view that is usable to define a set of business rules;
• and
• responsive to determining that one of the set of defined business rules holds true, generate for display, a reportlet corresponding to an alert that is based at least in part on the one of the set of defined business rules.
