This DevShare submission qualifies for the
Autumn 2012 Plug In 2 BIRT Contest!<br />
<br />
XML for Analysis (abbreviated as XMLA) is an industry standard for data access in analytical systems.<br />
<br />
The XMLA ODA plugin for BIRT is an Eclipse based plugin which enables you to connect to an XMLA provider like Pentaho Mondrian, EssBase, SAP BW and pull out data to display in your BIRT report.<br />
<br />
The user guide, deployable plugins and the source code is available on http://code.google.com/p/xmla-birt-oda-plugin/ <br />
<br />
The user guide is also attached here for reference.<br />
<br />
The Oda internally uses Olap4J and has been tested with Pentaho Mondrian. However, since it is based on XMLA standards, it is expected work with any XMLA providers. The query to be provided is in MDX format. For more details on MDX, refer to
