Patent 8214325 was granted and assigned to SAP on July, 2012 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Parsing of event queries in an enterprise system is described. The enterprise system receives queries, which are broken down into query components. The query components each represent segments of the query. The enterprise system identifies sources of event data and sends queries towards the sources of the event data. The query components are processed close to the data source. The responses are combined to generate an event query response that indicates the event data of each of the query components.
