Hi All,
I have just joined this forum and wanted help from gurus here. Following is
the area where I am looking for the help:
Problem definition: I was going through the open source reporting tool from
Actuate and Eclipse' BIRT. I downloaded it from the web portal and was going
through the report designer tool called "BIRt report designer professional".
So far so good.. Now in the data connection menu I can see SAP, Actuate,
flat file etc connection options. My area of concern is how can I connect my
BIRT reporting tool to the OLAP server I am running on. I am using Hyperion
Analytic Services (Essbase) and I wanted to build reports on the cubes and
data present in my Essbase.
Is there any way for me to either connect to Essbase or write a custom data
connector in my BIRT reporting tool for the Hyperion Essbase. I am ready to
build a connector but then is there any API toolkit available where I can
put Essbase as an option in the designer and even can put a module which
will read my data for putting it into the report? Such API toolkit exist? If
so how can I download it and how should I start on this (API docs available
or not) ?
Guys could you please help me in this? I need to start on this ASAP. Should
I write a custom connector for Essbase in the BIRT and how can I deploy it
to my client side. I appreciate all your help and support.
Thanks
Abhijeet

Hyperion Essbase?

Abhijeet,
DTP is ODA. So if you use the wizard to create your Runtime and DesignTime
project as a starting point, it is probably a good idea.
