Abstract
An OLAP system with decision support technology for enabling a user to asynchronously generate report requests through a web browser or other user interface module connected over a network to the OLAP system. Once the request is received by the server, the web browser is freed to enable the user to conduct other activities including the requesting of other reports while the first requested report is processing. The server maintains a list of reports requested. With each request for a report received, the system determines whether a similar report has been requested and either generates the report if the report has not been previously requested or adds a request by that user to a report list of a report that has been previously requested without processing the report again. If the requested report was already completed, the results are immediately returned to the user. The report list may be used to display the status of reports requested and provide a system user with various options relating to the reports being generated (e.g., cancel, refresh).
