me too: please post here once in awhile and let me know how your group
is going.

Now word about ofbiz and opentaps: we will be deprecating more of the
ofbiz things in favor of open source projects like Spring and hibernate,
and a few others that are less well known, but also very high quality.
So, while understanding the ofbiz framework will certainly continue to
be important, there are also a lot of other technologies here now in
opentaps.

Re: Have you ever integrated pentaho with ofbiz

2009-04-08 Thread David E Jones


Why would you ever want to have Pentaho run through the Entity Engine?  
In general stand-alone reporting and BI tools like Crystal Reports,  
Business Objects, etc, etc are much better when they talk directly to  
the database.


It is true that long ago we did some stuff so that JasperReports could  
run through the Entity Engine, but honestly I think it made JR _less_  
useful instead of more...

when doing BI you want a flat data info, not relationships, I agree.
so in essence the complete layout of ofbiz does not allow for fast
access of meta data.
the was addressed by generating flat structure entities that represent
the warehouse data needed
Like in most systems I have dealt with there is a nightly build of the
data for use for reports the next day. Similar to the table add code in
ofbiz is a entity build for the flat files.

Why, well for the one reason I came on board with ofbiz ease of maintenance.

 Hi all,
 I see that the reports in ofbiz is very simple.
 I want to integrate third-party report into ofbiz. I prefer pentaho.
 Could you give me some suggestion about the integration.
 Thanks.

Re: Have you ever integrated pentaho with ofbiz

hi Thuan,

You can take a look at opentaps, which is on top of ofbiz. And opentaps
supports pentaho.

If I were you, I'd probably talk with others in the community rather than 
moving to opentaps.  There are people who have integrated pentaho into Apache 
OFBiz successfully too.  I think that Marco Risaliti - one of the committers 
here did - but I can't remember if it was him for sure.

Cheers,
Tim

hi Tim,

Actually, pentaho technically can integrate with all database applications.
But point here is pentaho is ready in opentaps but not in ofbiz. When I
consider which one to go with if BI is a must, I still prefer opentaps.

No offense. Just list my simple reason here :-)

Re: Have you ever integrated pentaho with ofbiz

2009-04-07 Thread Tim Ruppert
No worries - I totally understand pentaho and it's abilities and that it is 
available OOTB in Opentaps.  My simple request, is to look at Apache OFBiz - 
which is a far superior product IMHO - and build on top of that instead of 
messing around with something else.  There are people that have done it in 
OFBiz, so let's look to them instead of sending our community elsewhere. 

I hope you understand where I am coming from as well.

Cheers,
Tim
