BIRT Data Object (Demo Pack)

averma

BIRT Data Objects are the foundational elements of Actuate’s in-memory processing. A BIRT Data Object is a data store where data is sourced from multiple and disparate data sources. Once sourced, the data can be modeled as one or more flat or multi-dimensional structures thus forming the basis for wide range of ad-hoc queries and analytic questions. The BIRT data objects are both flexible and agile. They are flexible because they can be constructed with or without the presence of a data warehouse and with or without the use of themetadata layer. This enables organizations to empower users with timely data access without costly and timeconsumingdata centralization activities and projects.<br />
<br />
Actuate’s in-memory architecture enables BIRT developers or business users to create BIRT content or use tools like BIRT 360 and BIRT Data Analyzer to drill down to details. <br />
BIRT Data Objects key features:

<br />
• Agile data access, regardless of data source<br />
• Access and combine data from multiple data sources<br />
• Model data as multiple flat or hierarchical structures<br />
• In-memory data processing for faster access and better query performance<br />
• Accessible by all BIRT developer and end user tools<br />
• Highly granular data security<br />
• Additional linking capabilities provide more opportunities to compare/analyze data from disparatesources and across different environments<br />
• Cloud ready and cloud friendly<br />

Attached sample "Sales Analysis" is a BIRT Data Object design file created using BIRT Designer Pro. You can download the file “Sales by Product Line.zip” and open the data object design file using BIRT Designer Pro. The design file has a connection to the Classic Models sample database. It also has a dataset and a cube.<br />
