Analyzer samples

The following samples show how to embed Analyzer reports into other web applications.

Display a report in viewer mode

This sample renders a display using a regular GET request, by populating an HTML IFRAME with the report REST URL:

http://localhost:8080/pentaho/api/repos/*<path>*/viewer

The viewer has limited possibilities for interaction and does not allow changing the report.

Display a report in editor mode

The sample renders a full Analyzer IU by populating an HTML IFRAME with the report REST URL:

http://localhost:8080/pentaho/api/repos/*<path>*/editor

The IFRAME now renders the full Analyzer user interface, allowing users to interact with the data.

Create a new Analyzer report

The sample prepares a new Analyzer report by populating an HTML IFRAME with the report REST URL:

http://localhost:8080/pentaho/api/repos/xanalyzer/editor?catalog=*<Schema>*&cube=*<CubeName>*

The mandatory catalog and cube parameters specify the analysis schema and cube to use for the new report.

Integrate into a custom web application via an IFRAME

The sample opens a new page that mimics a parent application that integrates Analyzer using an IFrame. The parent application has a set of buttons interacting with the Analyzer UI in the embedded IFRAME. Studying this page is a good starting point, if you are trying to deeply integrate analyzer into your own web application.

Specify the select schema service

The sample is opened with a specified data service.

http://localhost:8080/pentaho/api/repos/xanalyzer/service/selectSchema

After a data service is selected, the sample opens and shows an unsaved Analyzer report using that data service.
