| | This section describes functionality that is available only in Jaspersoft OLAP. Contact Jaspersoft to obtain the software. |
OLAP interactions through the Jaspersoft OLAP user interface and web services based on XML/A are supported by the repository and dedicated APIs. The repository can contain the following OLAP-related objects:
| • | OlapUnit. This is the data needed for an analysis view. It contains an MDX query and an OLAPClientConnection. |
| • | MondrianConnection. Implementor of OLAPClientConnection. It contains a Mondrian schema and a JDBC or JNDI connection. |
| • | XMLAConnection. Implementor of OLAPClientConnection. It contains a URL to an XML/A service and an optional data security definition. |
| • | MondrianXMLADefinition. Jaspersoft OLAP can operate as an XML/A server on top of Mondrian connections. These objects catalog what can be accessed through XML/A. |
The OLAP Connection API provided by Jaspersoft OLAP is simple, as most of the underlying functionality is within Mondrian (OLAP query engine, XML/A server) or JPivot (OLAP user interface). This call creates a JPivot-compatible OlapModel, based on the relevant OlapUnit:
The call should be made and the model object put into the user session before redirecting to the JPivot JSP viewOlap.jsp. An example is in ViewOlapModelAction:
The following call retrieves the server-wide Mondrian properties:
See the Mondrian Technical Guide for details
These calls can be used to validate an OlapUnit object while you are editing in the UI:
