Abstract:
1. A method of data retrieval employing modeled business activities, comprising steps of: in a computer memory: A. forming a model modeling a business activity; B. using the model in developing a metric analysis profile; C. retrieving data elements of interest in accordance with the metric analysis profile; wherein forming the model in step A. comprises: wherein using the model in step B. includes user specifying any combination of attributes, processes, sub-processes and data elements from the model for inclusion within the metric analysis profile; and wherein retrieving in step C. includes automatically generating executable code from the specified attributes, processes, sub-processes and data elements, the generated executable code enabling (i) retrieval of the specified data elements from the operational database and (ii) storing of the retrieved data elements in a staging database, in accordance with the metric analysis profile, and the executable code creating a populated staging database.
