How Data Management Professionals Can Manage Data Complexity - The role of data management professionals has become increasingly challenging with multiple audiences, multiple business units and departments, multiple tools and applications and multiple databases. In this Webinar we will look at these challenges and explore how organizations can better manage their data complexity. You will also discover how a consistent, integrated view of critical data assets can turn data complexity into information advantage.

How Data Virtualization Supports Business Agility - Today, enterprise architectures need agility to support business initiatives, and data virtualization can play a key role in this. In this webinar we will provide insights on how data virtualization provides information agility to your enterprise architecture project to deliver business value and significant competitive event. The focus of this webinar is on how to think about different information delivery strategies to help enterprise architecture as a whole be very business focused. So while we will get somewhat technical to address some of the key challenges, the idea is really to provide the framework primarily, and we will talk about some of the other ways. Today what we will talk about is what is the evolution of this whole area of business and enterprise architecture. Obviously those are joined at the hip. There are different perspectives on this, and they are changing. Based on this context we want to think of what is the role of information in this coming together of business and enterprise architecture...
How to Find the Difference Between Dates - This section discusses several basic date functions: computing the difference between dates, computing a date in the past or future, formatting a date, and extracting date components. Use the 'dateDiff()' function to find the difference between two dates in terms of days, months, or years. Use the 'dateDiff()' function to find the difference between two dates in terms of days, months, or years. For example, if a table displays the column 'Birth Date', you can create a formula column to calculate the current age of an individual by subtracting the 'Birth Date' from today's date...
How to Manage Data Distribution Across the Enterprise - Now we have all sorts of different large scale inter-organizational requirements whether it's for customer relationship management, enterprise resource planning, whether it's for supply chain management, whether it's data warehousing, business intelligence, integrated analytics, complex event processing, a significant amount of repurposing and data reuse is now required and the data is being distributed across the organization. We don’t really have a good handle on our data investments, and that gives us a little bit of pause...
How to Map Business Terms to Data Elements - I am going to show a little bit of a picture here, because what we said is that we have got the same business terms that are being used. We have got the same structures that are being used or different structures, etc., but how do we map all these things together? And from a conceptual standpoint, the first thing that we might want to look at is, what are the business terms that are being used and what’s the context of those business terms? What’s the business term? How is it being used? What's its definition? How is that mapped with a data element concept...
IFrame Integration - The simplest way to integrate reports with a third party Web application is to present the reports inside an IFrame. A report embedded in an IFrame can be freely viewed and manipulated, even when the report engine runs in a separate container. This eliminates the need for a proxy. The basic syntax for integrating an individual report into an IFrame is shown below, where ReportName is the name of the desired report, and remotehost is the remote server name. The path should start with the username for a user scope viewsheet. Also, an identifier parameter can be provided in place of path, and an edit=true parameter can be used to load the viewsheet in the Visual Composer...
IFrame Integration Example - As a further example, the HTML markup below generates a simple Web page with two divs, the top div containing a heading and some text, and the bottom div containing an IFrame with embedded report. To run this example, replace “remotehost” below with the address of the remote server on which the report engine is running. IFrame integration is the recommended alternative to JSP-based integration, and there are several advantages that make IFrames the preferred approach in most cases: IFrames are easier to use, and Style Intelligence's report design architecture is geared toward IFrame integration...
