Flexible adoption of base data sources in a remote application integration scenario

Abstract:

A data source integration architecture is provided for integrating application systems with an analytics system for user querying and data retrieval. The integration includes flexibly configuring base data sources as defined by an analytical model of an application system, such as an OEM application. In response to a query, metadata is fetched from an application server, where the metadata may contain a description of underlying artifacts of the structural part of the analytical model. During query generation, these specific views are injected into a query view and a parametrization is added for data source modulation. In addition, a flexible configuration of the final shape of the base data source specifically allows for the requirements of the OEM application to be addressed.
