Re: [aperi-dev] Enhanced Reporting Capabilities for Aperi

Yes, after R3, date yet to be determined,
yes, though I think Prasenjit has some ideas.
Reports written before the adoption
of the simplifed schema could break if there were changes in the base schema,
but that's not a big risk since the plan is to move them to the new schema
by the means I mentioned.

Dave,
I want to make sure I understand the proposal. The idea is for the simplified
schema to be delivered after R3, at some yet to be determined date? Are
any reports written before the simplified schema is delivered at higher
risk of breakage later due to changes in the base schema?
Thanks,Brenda

Hey All,
One of the key features we will provide starting in the V0.3 release is
an ad hoc reporting capability.
For Aperi this has two components:
1) A BIRT based report designer and viewer integrated with the V0.3 GUI
2) A simplified schema composed of views and support tables to both insulate
the report designer from the schema complexity and to insulate the base
schema from reports so we can modify the base schema without breaking every
report in the universe.
The simplified schema is independent of the Aperi BIRT based reporting
tool, so it can be used with other reporting tools.
The new schema will be delivered as an optional 'add-on' to the base schema.
That is, it need not be shipped with either the basic Aperi bundle or the
V0.3 GUI bundle.
Likewise, the Aperi BIRT based report designer/viewer is independent of
the simplified schema.
In fact, several reports have been implemented without it for the V0.3
release.
The plan is to convert those reports to use the new schema as soon as it
is available, but this will likely be after the V0.3 release date.
We envision that the release of the simplified schema and the sample BIRT
report descriptors that use it be decoupled from the regular release train.
Since the reporting schema is an independent add on to the base schema
it can be applied or updated at anytime without effecting the base schema.
Also, BIRT report descriptors can be added or modified at anytime by the
end users, so once the new schema is available we can post report descriptors
that use it for our clients to download.
This will allow us to release V0.3 on time with the current functionality,
then provide upgrades as available.
The grand vision is that this level of flexibility and informality will
encourage our user community to design their own reports and make their
descriptors available, and perhaps even provide new views and other augmentation
for the simplified schema.
If we have time I'd like to discuss this at the Tuesday meeting on 1/16.
