CMS Data Access Driver - Custom Samples

Description

The Central Management Server Database Driver allows you to use a universe and native reporting clients to query the metadata of the Central Management Server (CMS) repository database. A Standard Universe and a set of standard Web Intelligence documents are available for CMS Reporting & Analysis.
You can extend and customize the solution:

• Information Design Tool - add objects to the universe, see Community Wiki add simple objects
• Java Plug-in(s) - add virtual tables to the Data Foundation of the CMS DB universe using the CMS Data Access Driver SDK

This project provides content to demonstrate use cases from different areas and can also be used as Quick Start for the development of additional Virtual Tables.

• Get - more sample Web Intelligence documents for CMS Reporting & Analysis
• Learn - how easy Custom Virtual Tables can be developed and advanced functionality can be added to the CMS Universe
• Try - deploy and run the samples on your BI platform, get excited about the capabilities and inspired to build your own solutions
