Abstract

A computer receives a request from a client application for data within an enterprise grid. The computer sends the data along with a program to monitor the application's use of the data. The computer subsequently receives from the program a subset of the data being utilized by the client application. Responsive to a subsequent request for the data, the computer sends to the client application only the data corresponding to the identified subset of data being utilized.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computer-implemented method for accessing data from an enterprise grid, the computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving, from a client application, a first request to access a dataset within an enterprise grid, wherein:
the dataset includes a plurality of values, and
the dataset includes a plurality of fields that correspond to the plurality of values;

determining the first request is not a subsequent request from the client application;
gathering the plurality of values from the enterprise grid;
transmitting, to the client application, the plurality of values;
receiving, from the client application, a first set of access information, wherein:
the first set of access information includes a first set of pertinence indications,
the first set of pertinence indications show whether the client application accessed a value in the plurality of values within a watching threshold, and
the watching threshold dictates a time duration during which the first set of access information occurs;

identifying a first subset of the plurality of values, wherein:
the first subset of the plurality of values includes values in the plurality of values for which there is a pertinence indication in the first set of pertinence indications, and
identifying the first subset of the plurality of values includes:
transmitting the client application to a first computer system, wherein the client application:
analyzes pertinence patterns of the plurality of values,
determines the first subset of the plurality of values, and
returns the first subset of the plurality of values; and

receiving, from the client application, the first subset of the plurality of values;

identifying a set of fields in the plurality of fields, wherein the set of fields corresponds to the first subset of the plurality of values;
receiving, form the client application, a second request to access the dataset;
transmitting, to the client application, a second subset of the plurality of values, wherein the second subset of the plurality of values includes values in the plurality of values that correspond to the set of fields; and
receiving, from the client application, a second set of access information, wherein the second set of access information includes a second set of pertinence indications that show whether the client application accessed a value in the second subset of the plurality of values.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein identifying the first subset of the plurality of values includes:
receiving, from the client application, the first subset of the plurality of values.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein:
the first request includes, at least an identifying value key; and
the identifying value key is mapped to the plurality of values by a hash function of the identifying value key to identify the first subset of the plurality of values.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
placing the plurality of values in an ordered sequence; and
identifying the plurality of fields based, at least in part, on the ordered sequence of the plurality of values.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining a location of the dataset within the enterprise grid;
requesting the dataset and the set of fields from a second computer system, wherein the second computer system accesses the location; and
receiving, from the second computer system, the second subset of the plurality of values.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining a location of the dataset within the enterprise grid;
retrieving the plurality of values from the enterprise grid; and
selecting the second subset of the plurality of values from the plurality of values.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 6 , wherein determining the location of the dataset within the enterprise grid includes:
receiving, from the client application, a set of identifying value keys; and
performing a hash function on an identifying value key in the set of identifying value keys.

8. A computer program product for accessing data from an enterprise grid, the computer program product comprising:
one or more computer-readable storage media having computer-readable program code embodied therewith, the computer-readable program code comprising:
computer-readable program code configured to receive, from a client application, a first request to access a dataset within an enterprise grid, wherein:
the dataset includes a plurality of values, and
the dataset includes a plurality of fields that correspond to the plurality of values;

computer-readable program code configured to determine the first request is not a subsequent request from the client application;
computer-readable program code configured to gather the plurality of values from the enterprise grid;
computer-readable program code configured to transmit, to the client application, the plurality of values;
computer-readable program code configured to receive, from the client application, a first set of access information, wherein:
the first set of access information includes a first set of pertinence indications,
the first set of pertinence indications show whether the client application accessed a value in the plurality of values within a watching threshold, and
the watching threshold dictates a time duration during which the first set of access information occurs;

computer-readable program code configured to identify a first subset of the plurality of values, wherein:
the first subset of the plurality of values includes values in the plurality of values for which there is a pertinence indication in the first set of pertinence indications, and
computer-readable program code configured to identify the first subset of the plurality of values includes:
computer-readable program code configured to transmit the client application to a first computer system, wherein the client application:
 analyzes pertinence patterns of the plurality of values,
 determines the first subset of the plurality of values, and
 returns the first subset of the plurality of values; and
computer-readable program code configured to receive, from the client application, the first subset of the plurality of values;

computer-readable program code configured to identify a set of fields in the plurality of fields, wherein the set of fields corresponds to the first subset of the plurality of values;
computer-readable program code configured to receive, form the client application, a second request to access the dataset;
computer-readable program code configured to transmit, to the client application, a second subset of the plurality of values, wherein the second subset of the plurality of values includes values in the plurality of values that correspond to the set of fields; and
computer-readable program code configured to receive, from the client application, a second set of access information, wherein the second set of access information includes a second set of pertinence indications that show whether the client application accessed a value in the second subset of the plurality of values.

9. The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein computer-readable program code configured to identify the first subset of the plurality of values includes:
computer-readable program code configured to receive, from the client application, the first subset of the plurality of values.

10. The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein:
the first request includes, at least an identifying value key; and
the identifying value key is mapped to the plurality of values by
