Is it possible to process and query mondrian cubes without deploying to pentaho bi-server? [closed]
Question
If yes, please give a reference. I did a little googling with no result. I want to use olap4j to query the cubes and use the result in a web application. But, I don't need any of the features of bi-server. According to tutorials, the olap schemas have to be published on an instance of bi-server. So isn't it really possible to have cubes built, processed and queried independently?
Solution
Olap4j is the main programming API for Mondrian. You do not need a Pentaho BI server to use Mondrian. You should read this tutorial to get you started.
OTHER TIPS
Take a look at Saiku - this will handle the server side of mondrian for you and is built from the ground up for integration, so may be easier than using olap4j directly ( saiku itself uses olap4j of course)
Do you mean you just want to use API functions of mondrian.jar in java class or servlet, instead of via JSP page?
You can deploy the .xml file in tomcat server or saiku server and run it.
