Introducing MashZone NextGen Business Analytics : Business Analytics Core Components : Business Analytics Repository
Business Analytics Repository
The Business Analytics Repository contains meta-data for mashables plus all Business Analytics mashups, views and apps, including related files for apps or views, data snapshots for file-based mashables and scheduled or user-initiated snapshots for mashables or mashups. It also contains information on users and groups, authorization policies, server configuration, macros, taxonomies, notifications and much more.
Data can be separated into three parts:
*Artifacts and Meta-Data: for mashups, mashables, views, apps, and macros. This also includes related files or data, configuration for the Business Analytics Server, authorization policies and so on.
*User Data: for authentication and determining authorization.
Typically user data comes from your organization's LDAP directory which you integrate with Business Analytics. This may also use a single sign-on solution and an identity manager. However, Business Analytics also has a built-in user repository which you may use. User or group meta-data from LDAP allows Business Analytics to relate authorization policies with users.
*Snapshots: represent the results from one invocation of a mashable information source or a mashup. Because space and other quality of service requirements can be quite different for snapshot data, this portion of the Business Analytics Repository can be hosted in a separate database.
Note:  
User or mashable passwords stored in the Business Analytics Repository are encrypted.
