Title Real-time aggregation of data within a transactional data area of
an enterprise planning environment
Abstract An enterprise business planning system includes a
database having a relational data area and a transactional data area, and a
server to store within the transactional data area contribution data received
from a set of enterprise contributors. The server publishes the contribution
data from the transactional data area to the relational data area. The
transactional data area may include a set of contribution slots and a set of
aggregations slots hierarchically related in accordance with an enterprise
model. The relational area includes a set of related tables defined in
accordance with the model. The transactional data area supports real-time
interaction with the enterprise contributors, while the relational data area
allows detailed statistical analysis and report generation.
