Data sources

Business Insights Portal is a highly sophisticated web portal which can use different data sources such as:

 

§  Standalone OLAP server Microsoft Analysis Services

§  Mondrian

§  Oracle 11gR2 via M4OXmlaWebService provider from Simba (www.simba.com)

§  Essbase

 

This tab is used to connect to a OLAP server and start the designer. To open connection, you can either click on any previously saved connection and click the button Open Selected, or double click on connection.

 

To create and open a New Connection, click the Create New button to open the New Analysis dialog.

 

In the New Analysis dialog, the required fields are printed in bold.

If you wish to save this connection to be added to a list of connections in the Connections Tab, provide Connection Name, and check the Save this connection checkbox before clicking Open.
