Abstract
A system for automatically generating output from an on-line analytical processing system based on scheduled services specified by subscribers of the system. The system processes scheduled services in an on-line analytical processing system with each service comprising at least one query to be performed by the on-line analytical processing system. The system then automatically forwards output from the services to one or more subscriber output devices specified for that service. Users may define new services, including the schedule of the services and the type, such as alert services or scheduled services, and may also subscriber to the services provided by the system. If an alert service is processed, the system may forward output only when one or more alert criteria are satisfied. Subscribers may be specified by a dynamic recipient list that is resolved each time the service is processed to determine recipients of the service output. The output devices the system may forward output to may comprise electronic mailbox, facsimile, printer, mobile phone, telephone, PDA or pager.
