Moving the "bi" component from framework to specialpurpose
Hi all,
I would like to migrate the "business intelligence" component ("bi") from framework to specialpurpose; in the process I would also like to migrate all the artifacts (dimension and fact entities and star schemas, and reports) from all the applications to the "bi" component.
Then I would also like to set this component as "disabled" by default.
When I initially design and contributed this component I have placed it in the framework to let application use some of its low level services to build their own reports: however over time I noticed that the need to configure the olap data model caused some confusion to users (especially the ones that do not use this feature); moreover, the definition of dimensions, facts and schemas is currently widespread over several components (whose boundaries don't match very well with the domains for business intelligence) and this makes more difficult to understand the bi data model. After the migration I am proposing here we will have all the bi data model in one place (the bi component).
Regards,
Jacopo

Jacopo, all,
That is a good idea. This will bring everything (regarding BI - extensive
reporting) to one place and it will surely help users and contributors to
avoid looking all over the place when evaluating, implementing and/or
extending the functionality.
Best regards,
