A system, method and processor medium that manages automatic generation of
output from an on-line analytical processing system. Scheduled services
are processed in an on-line analytical processing system and output from
the OLAP system is then automatically forwarded to one or more subscriber
output devices specified for that service. The system manages the
operation of the service processing system to increase throughput,
increase speed, and improve the administrator control over the
processing. The system may maintain dynamic recipient lists that are
resolved by system. The system enables administrator control over
processing by enabling administrators to view all services and all
subscribers of the system, by maintaining an address book containing
entries for subscribers of the service and enables a system user to view
the contents of the address book, and by scheduling processing of
services. The system governs the volume of services being processed, the
number of subscribers to a particular service, and the number of output
devices to which a service may be broadcast.
