1 Leverage the Power of Pentaho Visualizations Within Your Application Andrew Grohe Pentaho Director of Services Delivery, Hitachi Vantara

2 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

3 What Is Embedded Analytics? Stand-alone Analytics Embedded Analytics Existing Experience Embed Pentaho directly as part of your application Embed visualizations at the point of impact

4 Embedding Approaches Four Embedded Approaches: 1. Bundled 2. Mashup 3. Extended 4. Unified

5 Bundled

6 Bundled Approach Four Embedded Approaches: 1. Bundled 2. Mashup 3. Extended 4. Unified

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)

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

9 Bundled Pros and Cons PROs Full PUC functionality Reduced effort No coding CONs Limited customization Limited ability to hide functionality

10 Mashup

11 Mashup Approach Four Embedded Approaches: 1. Bundled 2. Mashup 3. Extended 4. Unified

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

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

14 Extended

15 Extended Approach Four Embedded Approaches: 1. Bundled 2. Mashup 3. Extended 4. Unified

16 Extended 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

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

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

19 Unified

20 Unified Approach Four Embedded Approaches: 1. Bundled 2. Mashup 3. Extended 4. Unified

21 Unified Embed Pentaho engines into your Java application Analysis (Mondrian) Reporting Data Integration (Kettle) Analysis Reporting Data Integration

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
