Purpose

You can use the BI Java SDK to create analytical applications to access tabular (relational) data that you can also edit and display. This is provided primarily for Java developers with experience of Business Intelligence.

While the main purpose of the SDK is to simplify programming in comparison with the BW OLAP engine in a Java environment, the application programming interfaces (APIs) can also be used to access non-BW and even non-OLAP data sources, such as relational JDBC data sources.  This enables programmers to work with a uniform approach throughout the entire development cycle of an application.

Features

The BI Java SDK provides an object-oriented framework in which to:

      Connect to a variety of data sources

      Access master- and metadata

      Create and execute complex queries

      Render and access query result sets

A driver-based architecture supports access to various data formats using a variety of protocols, such as JDBC (Java Database Connectivity)
