Agenda

This session will discuss the four levels of embedded integrations and approach to leveraging the Pentaho framework and platform for embedding.

Embedded Analytics Background
Pentaho’s 4 Levels of embedding
1. Bundled
2. Mashup
3. Extended
4. Unified

SLIDE 3

Stand-alone Analytics

Embedded Analytics

What Is Embedded Analytics?

Embed Pentaho directly as part of your application Embed visualizations at the point of impact Existing Experience

SLIDE 4

Embedding Approaches

Four Embedded Approaches:

1. Bundled
2. Mashup
3. Extended
4. Unified

SLIDE 5

Bundled

SLIDE 6

Bundled Approach

Four Embedded Approaches:

1. Bundled
2. Mashup
3. Extended
4. Unified

SLIDE 7

Bundled Approach

Analytics with your look and feel

– Pentaho is a separate application with your branding – Links from you application to Pentaho reports and analysis (optional) – Single Sign-on for seamless user experience (optional)

SLIDE 8

Bundled Approach

What can be changed

– Login page – Logo – Colors and styles – Menu and Toolbar options – Additional perspectives – Disable home page widgets and samples

Themes

– Custom logo, colors, fonts, buttons and icons – Can add multiple themes for PUC and Plug-ins – Theme selection

Dropdown menu on PUC
Through a user session variable

called “pentaho-user-theme”

URL parameter

SLIDE 9

Bundled Pros and Cons

PROs

Full PUC functionality
Reduced effort
No coding

CONs

Limited customization
Limited ability to hide

functionality

SLIDE 10

Mashup

SLIDE 11

Mashup Approach

Four Embedded Approaches:

1. Bundled
2. Mashup
3. Extended
4. Unified

SLIDE 12

Mashup

Integrated End-User Experience

– Embed Pentaho reports within your web application

Analyzer with JS API
Interactive reports
Report Designer
Dashboard Designer

– Repository and Scheduling

Dynamic navigation service
Scheduling content
REST services
Single Sign-on creates seamless experience

SLIDE 13

Mashup Pros and Cons

PROs

Part of your application
Full plug-in functionality
Control over access to

functionality CONs

Can only change

visualization style

Some coding to call Rest APIs

Pentaho DATA available to your application

Pentaho Data Integration Transformations

– Data Services as JDBC

Caching Service
Datasource Pushdown Optimization

– Web Service API returning XML, JSON, CSV, etc..

Community Data Access services

– Provide abstraction layer for multiple access approaches and wrap in web services – Data Access types include SQL, MDX, Metadata and PDI – Output types include JSON, XML, CSV, XLS, and HTML – Includes configurable caching for performance

SLIDE 17

Community Data Access

Part of CTools Suite
A way to provide data abstraction for multiple access approaches and wrap in

web services.

Data Access types include SQL, MDX, Metadata, Kettle, beanscript,

combinations of all

Includes configurable caching for performance
Output types include JSON, XML, CSV, XLS, and HTML

SLIDE 18

Extended Pros and Cons

PROs

Reuse analytics functionality
Expose functionality as

service to clients

Full control over visualization
Good M2M option

CONs

No visualization
More coding to use data

SLIDE 19

Unified

SLIDE 20

Unified Approach

Four Embedded Approaches:

1. Bundled
2. Mashup
3. Extended
4. Unified

SLIDE 21

Unified

Embed Pentaho engines into

your Java application

– Analysis (Mondrian) – Reporting – Data Integration (Kettle)

Analysis Reporting Data Integration

SLIDE 22

Unified Pros and Cons

PROs

Full control over application

functionality

If you can code it, you can

do it CONs

API dependency
Heavy duty coding
