这篇文档描述了如何使用 Pentaho BI 套件创建 dashboards。它描述了 Pentaho Demo 服务器提供的sample dashboard。
sample dashboard 以 JSP 和 PHP 形式提供。两个 dashboards 均使用相同的内容,提供相同的功能。JSP 实例显示了如何在 Pentaho UI 组件中使用 Java API,PHP 实例显示了如何在 Pentaho UI 组件中使用 Web 服务。
Java API 实例可用于 JSPs,Servlets,或 Java 应用。Web 服务实例可用于可发布 web 服务调用的任何技术,例如 PHP,IBM Domino 等。
1. Sample Dashboard
This page last changed on Mar 01, 2007 by wgorman.
Sample Dashboard 位于这个 URL (假设你将 Pentaho demo 安装于你本机的 8080 端口) 。http://localhost:8080/pentaho/jsp/SampleDashboard
sample dashboard 首先显示了一张饼图,其显示了四个区域中每个的 headcount costs。
关于如何定义饼图的更多信息请参考下面的 ‘Headcount Spending by Region Pie Chart’。
关于如何获得饼图的数据的更多信息请参考下面的 ‘Headcount Spending by Region Action Sequence’。
当用户点击饼图上的一个切片时,出现了另一张图表,对于选中的区域的每个部门,显示了 headcount budget 和 actual cost 间的不同。
饼图如何被定义的更多信息请参考下面的 ‘Headcount Variance Pie Chart’。
如何获取饼图的数据的更多信息请参考下面的 ‘Headcount Variance Action Sequence’。
当用户点击一个部门的 bar 时,dashboard 在图表下,显示了一个 dial 和一个数据表。dial 基于当前时间(因此它随着时间改变) 显示了一个值,表显示了选中部门内的 positions 的详细信息。
如何定义 dial 的更多信息请参考下面的 ‘动态 Dial’。
如何定义嵌入式报表的更多信息请参考下面的 ‘嵌入式报表’。
当用户点击表中的一个 position 的名字时,dashboard drills 到另一个页面,并传送 region,department 和 position 作为参数。
这一页的源代码请参考附录 8:Drill JSP

在 sample dashboard 中,基于当前时间,页面为 dial 创建了一个值。
嵌入式报表
This page last changed on Jan 30, 2007 by wgorman.
报表模版的定义在:pentaho-demo/pentaho-solutions/samples/dashboard/jsp/embedded_report.xml
报表模版被报表引擎(JFreeReport) 用于布局嵌入式报表。你可使用 Pentaho Report Wizard 设计一个报表定义。
你创建的是 HTML 的一个片段,而不是一个完整的 HTML 页面。你需要编辑报表定义 XML 文件以在 report/configuration 的报表配置区域添加一个属性。
<property name="org.jfree.report.modules .output .table.html.BodyFragment">true</property>
为将报表内容中的一个 drill link 添加进一个 URL,你需要编辑报表定义,并添加一个 URL 表达式,例如 sample dashboard 中的这个。
<expression name="URLCreateExpression"
class="org. jfree.report.function.TextFormatExpression">
<properties>
<property
name="pattern">SampleDrill? region={ 0} &position={ 1} & department={ 2} </property>
<property name="field[ 0] ">REGION</property>
<property name="field[ 1] ">POSITIONTITLE</property> <property name="field[ 2]">DEPARTMENT</property>
</properties>
</expression>

4. Action Sequences
This page last changed on Dec 04, 2006 by mdamour.
嵌入式报表 Action Sequence
This page last changed on Dec 04, 2006 by mdamour.
这个报表的定义在: pentaho-demo/pentaho-solutions/samples/dashboard/jsp/embedded_report.xaction
你可以在 Eclipse IDE 中使用 Pentaho Design Studio 编辑这个文件。这个 action sequence 包含一个 JFree Report 组件,其从 sample 数据库获取数据,使用一个报表模版生成一个HTML 片段。
action sequence 带有参数 ‘region’ 和 ‘department’,其用作查询中的过滤器。报表组件执行这个查询:
select QUADRANT _ACTUALS . REGION, QUADRANT _ACTUALS . DEPARTMENT, QUADRANT _ACTUALS . POSITIONTITLE, QUADRANT _ACTUALS . ACTUAL, QUADRANT _ACTUALS . BUDGET,QUADRANT _ACTUALS.VARIANCE from QUADRANT _ACTUALS where QUADRANT _ACTUALS.REGION = '{region}' and QUADRANT _ACTUALS.DEPARTMENT = '{department}' order by QUADRANT _ACTUALS.REGION, QUADRANT_ACTUALS. DEPARTMENT |
使用一个报表模板:pentaho-demo/pentaho-solutions/samples/dashboard/jsp/embedded_report.xml (参考上面的嵌入式报表)
报表组件在一个名为 ‘report’ 的输出中返回 HTML,action sequence 将这个输出转向到 response 的 output stream。
Headcount Spending by Region Action Sequence
This page last changed on Dec 04, 2006 by mdamour.
这个 action sequence 的定义在: pentaho-demo/pentaho-solutions/samples/dashboard/regions_headcount_data .xaction
你可以在 Eclipse IDE 中使用 Pentaho Design Studio 以编辑这个文件。
这个 action sequence 包含一个 SQL Query Rule,其从 Pentaho demo 服务器提供的 sample 数据库获取一些数据。action sequence 不带任何参数。
SQL Query Rule 执行这个查询:
select REGION, sum(ACTUAL) as ACTUAL from quadrant _actuals group by REGION order by ACTUAL |
并在一个名为 ‘rule-result’ 的输出中返回数据。这个数据用于生成 ‘Headcount Spending By Region’ 饼图。
Headcount Variance Action Sequence
This page last changed on Dec 04, 2006 by mdamour.
这个 action sequence 的定义在:pentaho-demo/pentaho-solutions/samples/dashboard/department_variance_data .xaction
你可以在 Eclipse IDE 中使用 Pentaho Design Studio 以编辑这个文件。
这个 action sequence 包含一个 SQL Query Rule,其从 Pentaho demo 服务器提供的 sample 数据库获取一些数据。
action sequence 带有一个参数 REGION,其在查询中用作过滤器,SQL Query Rule 执行这个查询:
select department, sum(variance) from quadrant _actuals where region='{ REGION}' group by department |
在名为 ‘rule-result’ 的输出中返回数据。这个数据用于生成 ‘Headcount Variance By Region’ 饼图。
5. 定制 PCI JSP Dashboard
This page last changed on Feb 01, 2007 by wgorman.
实例 1: 将饼图变成柱状图
这个实例描述了在 SampleDashboard solution 中,将一个饼图转换成一个柱状图所需要进行的修改。为了修改,必须同时更新 widget xml 和 SampleDashboard.jsp 中的 java 代码。
步骤 1: 更新 SampleDashboard. jsp 文件
不要调用 ChartHelper.doPieChart(),而是对 ChartHelper.doChart() 进行 java调用。方法标识是一样的, 包括 widget xml 的位置,可定制参数,输出要写进的 string buffer,user session,存储消息的 messages 对象,和一个 logger 对象(如果可用)。
修改 widget.xml 指向我们的新 _regions.widget.xml 文件,其在下一步被创建。
柱状图稍不同于饼图,当涉及到它们的 templated inner param 时。用 "{SERIES}" 替换 "drill-url" 参数的 "{REGIONS}" 部分,其允许图表适当生成 outgoing 链接。
步骤 2: 创建 new_regions .widget.xml 文件
饼图和柱状图 <chart> xml 文件包含用于定制的不同参数集合。不需要检查所有参数,将departments .widget.xml 复制到新的 _regions.widget.xml文件,其是一个预存在的柱状图实例。
注意 chart-type 元素,以及各种用于定制柱状图的 style 元素。将 title 元素修改回 "Headcount Spending by Region",data -> data-action 元素修改回 "regions_headcount_data.xaction"。现在我们就有一个配置好的柱状图了。
注意:你必须在 admin 工具中刷新 solution repository,使得对于 widget 的修改生效。
实例 2: Swapping Regions 和 Departments
这个实例描述了在 dashboard 中 swapping regions with departments。
步骤 1: 更新 SampleDashboard.jsp 文件
如果你从上面的实例 1 开始操作的,从实例中删除对于 JSP 的修改。
替换这段代码:
String title = "Select a region"; if( department != null ) { title = "This is headcount spending for " + region + ", " + department; } else if ( region != null ) { title = "This is headcount spending for " + region; } |
用这段代码:
String title = "Select a department"; if( region != null ) { title = "This is headcount spending for " + department + ", " + region; } else if ( department != null ) { title = "This is headcount spending for " + department; } |
为将 region pie chart 改成 departments:
用 "Select a Department By Clicking on Pie Chart" 替换 "Select a Region By Clicking on Pie Chart"。
用 "SampleDashboard?department= {DEPARTMENT}" 替换 "SampleDashboard?region ={REGION}"。
替换这行:
parameters.setParameter( "inner-param", "REGION");
用:
parameters.setParameter( "inner-param", "DEPARTMENT");
用 "new_departments.widget.xml" 替换 "regions.widget.xml"。
为将 department bar chart 改变成 regions:
替换这行:
if( region != null ) {
用:
if( department != null ) {
用 "Select a Region By Clicking on Bar Chart" 替换 "Select a Department By Clicking on Bar Chart "。
替换这行:
parameters. setParameter ( "drill-url", "SampleDashboard? region="+region+"&department={ SERIES}" );
用:
parameters. setParameter ( "drill-url",
"SampleDashboard? department="+department+"®ion={ SERIES} " );
替换这行:
parameters.setParameter( "REGION", region );
用:
parameters.setParameter( "DEPARTMENT", department );
替换这行:
parameters.setParameter( "outer-params", "REGION" );
用:
parameters. setParameter ( "outer-params", "DEPARTMENT" );
替换这行:
parameters.setParameter( "inner-param", "DEPARTMENT");
用:
parameters.setParameter( "inner-param", "REGION");
用 "new_regions.widget.xml" 替换 "departments.widget.xml"。
替换包含这句的两行:
if( department != null ) {
用:
if( region != null ) {
步骤 2: 创建 new_departments.widget.xml 文件
复制 regions.widget.xml 文件成新的 _departments.widget.xml。
用 "Headcount Spending by Department" 替换 "Headcount Spending by Region"。
用 "departments_headcount_data.xaction" 替换 "regions_headcount_data .xaction"。
替换这句:
<data-name>REGION< / data-name>
用:
<data-name> DEPARTMENT< / data-name>
步骤 3: 创建 departments_headcou nt_data.xaction 文件
复制 regions _headcount _data.xaction 文件成 departments _headcount _data.xaction。
用 "Return actual headcount costs total for each department" 替换 "Return actual headcount costs total for each region"。
替换 SQL 查询:
select REGION, sum(ACTUAL) as ACTUAL from QUADRANT _ACTUALS group by REGION order by ACTUAL
用:
select DEPARTMENT, sum(ACTUAL) as ACTUAL from QUADRANT _ACTUALS group by DEPARTMENT order by ACTUAL
步骤 4: 创建 new_regions.widget.xml 文件
将文件 departments.widget.xml 复制成新的 _regions.widget.xml 文件。替换这句:
<data-action>department _variance _data. xaction</data-action>
用:
<data-action>region _variance _data. xaction</data-action>
步骤 5: 创建 region_variance_data.xaction 文件
复制 department _variance _data.xaction 文件成 region _variance _data.xaction。
用 "Return variance between headcount actual and budget for every region in specified department" 替换 "Return variance between headcount actual and budget for every department inspecified region"。
替换:
<inputs> <REGION type="string"> <sources> <request>REGION</request></ sources> </REGION> </inputs> |
用:
<inputs> <DEPARTMENT type="string"> <sources> <request>DEPARTMENT< /request> </ sources> </DEPARTMENT> </inputs> |
用 "Define an input called 'DEPARTMENT'." 替换 "Define an input called 'REGION'."。
替换
<REGION type="string"/>
用:
<DEPARTMENT type="string"/>
替换 SQL 查询:
select department, sum(variance) from QUADRANT _ACTUALS where region in ( {PREPARE:REGION} )
group by department
用:
select region, sum(variance) from QUADRANT _ACTUALS where department in ( {PREPARE:DEPARTMENT} ) group by region

使用 Filter Panel 开发 Portal Dashboard
This page last changed on Feb 28, 2007 by sbarkdull.
动机
在 portal 中,digital dashboard是用户接口组件的一个集合(又名 portlets),其提供了相关商业数据的一个视图。digital dashboard 是很有用的一种机制,其可快速的在一个页面上展现一套 critical商业数据。开发人员可使用 Pentaho BI 平台以及 JSR168 portal 来实现 digital dashboard。此处我配置 Pentaho BI 平台运行于 JBoss Portal 服务器,使用一个 FilterPanelPortlet,一个ActionPortlet 和一些 Action Sequences 来在一个 portal 页面上实现一个 dashboard。
一个简单的 Portal
简单的说,portal 就是一个 portal 包含的一组相关 portal 页面。一个 portal 页面包含一套(1 或多个)窗口。每个窗口包含一个 portlet,每个 portlet 有服务端逻辑和客户端用户接口控制/显示。
Dashboard
在 Pentaho BI 平台中,可使用一个 filter panel 和一个或多个包含内嵌于相同的 portal 页面的可视化显示的portlets 来创建一个基于 portal 的 dashboard。可视化的显示通常指图表和报表。
Filter Panel
一个 filter panel 包含和一个 HTML form 相关的客户端 UI 控件,以及一个服务器端的 FilterPanelPortlet,其实 JSR168 GenericPortlet 的一个实现。当 form 提交给 Portal 服务器时,FilterPanelPortlet 将 form 中的数据放进 session scoped 参数中,然后这些参数就可以作为页面中其他 Portlets/Actions Sequences 的输入。
当页面中其他 Pentaho-based portlets 被要求重画自身时,它们可基于 filter panel 放进 session 中的参数值来重画自身。
用实现了 Dashboard 的页面配置 Portal
在 portal 中,配置 dashboard 有几个必需的步骤:
1. 修改 portlet.xml 文件在 dashboard 中定义 portlets。
2. 修改 portlet-instances.xml 文件定义 portlet 实例。
3. 修改 pentaho-portal-object.xml 文件将 portlet 实例放进 portal 中的一个页面。
4. 为 portlet 添加 localized Strings,在 portlet.properties 文件中添加 portal 页面标题。
5. 在 repository 中,创建一个 filter panel 定义文件。
6. 创建 Action Sequences 为 filter panel 的控件提供 list-of-values (LOV) 数据。
7. 创建和页面中的其他 portlets 相关的 Action Sequences。这些 Action Sequences 响应 filter panel 放进 session 中的参数的改变,并提供商业数据的视图。
8. 创建一个 JNDI 可访问的 datasource,为 Action Sequences 提供数据。
一个简单的 Portal Dashboard 实例
在这个实例中,配置 portal 显示一个 dashboard,通过:
1. 在 portal 添加两个 portlets。
2. 在 portal 上添加这些 portlets 中每个的实例。
3. 在 portal 中添加一个新的页面
4. 在页面中添加 2 个新的窗口。
5. 在两个窗口中添加 2 个portlets。
修改 portal 配置文件
在 Pentaho Pre-Configured Install (PCI) 中,portal 配置文件位于/server/default/deploy/pentaho.war/WEB-INF。其名字是 portlet .xml,portlet-instances .xml 和pentaho-portal-object .xml。
Ø portlet.xml: 包含 portlet 定义。
Ø portlet-instances.xml: 包含 portlet-instance 定义。
Ø pentaho-portal-object.xml: 包含 page 和 window 定义。
JBoss Portal 服务器特定配置文件 portlet.xml 文件的名字和格式在 JSR168 规范中确定,对所有 JSR168 portals 都是一样的。portlet-instances.xml 和 pentaho-portal-object.xml 文件的名字和格式是特定于 JBoss Portal 服务器的。 |
修改 portlet.xml 文件定义 dashboard 中的 portlets
这个 XML fragment 描述了 FilterPanelPortlet 类实现的一个 portlet,其 UI 由simple-dashboard.filterpanel.xml filter panel 描述文件指定。
TODO more detail
portlet 定义文件的更多信息请参考 JBoss Portal server documentation 或 JSR168 spec。

...
</portlet-app>
修改 portlet-instances.xml 文件定义 portlet 实例
portlet-instances.xml 文件描述了 portlet 名字(在 portlet.xml)文件和一个 portlet 实例名间的映射。在 portal 中,你可有一个 portlet 的多个实例,每个实例有自己的首选项。这个实例仅仅从 portlet 定义 '1inherits'1 它的首选项。实例名用于 add portlet instances to portal pages。
portlet 实例定义文件的更多信息请参考 JBoss Portal 服务器文档。

修改 pentaho-portal-object.xml 文件 to place portlet instances in a page in portal.
在 portal 上添加一个新的页面,通过在 <deployements> 根元素上添加一个 <deployment> 元素,然后在<deployment> 元素中添加 <page> 元素。
为每个 portlet 添加一个窗口,通过在 <page> 元素上添加相应的 <window> 元素。为每个窗口添加一个 portlet,通过在 <window> 元素上添加 <instance-ref> 元素,指定 portlet 实例的名字(如portlet-instances.xml 文件所定义)作为元素的文本。(TODO 中详细介绍了元素)

之前的 XML 片段中的注释标识了文本串,其是引用了本地化属性文件(又名 resource bundles)中的文本串的键值。portlet.xml 文件标识了包含这些属性文件的包(org.pentaho.locale.portlet)。你可能需要在适当的本地化文件中,为你的键值添加 key/text-string 映射。

在 Repository 中创建一个 Filter Panel 定义文件
在这个实例中,在 samples/simpleDashboard/simple-dashboard. filterpanel.xml 中指定 filter panel。
<filters><name>CustomerNamesFilter</name>
<filter>
<!-- Title text displayed in the filter panel --> <title>Customer</title>
<!-- name and id of the HTML form control representing this filter --> <name>customernumber< /name>
<!-- type of control to display in the filter panel --> <type>list</type>
<data-solution>samples</data-solution> <data-path>simpleDashboard</data-path> <data-action>getCustomerNames .xaction</data-action>
<!-- name of the action sequence's output parameter containing the LOV --> <data-output>customerNamesList</data-output> <!-- maps to the <option> element's text --> <data-display>customername</data-display> <!-- maps to the <option> element's value attribute in the HTML form --><data-value>customernumber</data-value>
</ filter>
</filters>
每个 filter panel 定义文件定义了一个 filter panel 的 filters。每个 filter 对应于用户接口上的一个控件(UI) (例如 comboboxes,lists,radio buttons等) 这些控件用于 "filter" 平台返回的数据。
创建一个 filter 定义,通过在 filter panel 定义文件的根节点(如 <filters>)上添加一个 <filter> 元素,然后在 <filter> 元素上添加适当的子元素。在 filter panel 上可指定 4 种不同的 filter 类型。每种类型使用一个不同的机制,用于获取它的 LOV。通过在 <filter> 元素上添加一个或多个不同的子元素来指定获取 LOV 的机制。
除了 <filter> 元素的一套不同子元素,还有一套所有 <filter> 元素共同拥有的元素。
List of Values (LOV) A List of Values (LOV) 是描述 items 的列表的一个术语,每个 item 有一个名字和一个值。一个实例可能跨越了一年中的数月,第一个 item 的名字是 Jan,其值是 0,第二个 item 的名字是 Feb,其值是 1 等等。 在一个用户接口中,当一个用户需要从很多 items 中选择一个时,为用户显示 LOV 中的每个 item 的名字, 当用户作出一个选择时,将选中的 item 的值传送到服务器。 |
公有元素
(* 必需元素)
Ø <title> title 元素的文本,其在 HTML form 中显示为 filter 的 label。
Ø <name> * 用于设置表单中的 HTML 控件的 name 和 id 属性。例如,如果这个 filter 是用于生成一个列表(在 HTML 中也叫做 <select> 元素),<select> 元素的 id 和 name 属性将被设置成 <name> 元素的文本。
Ø <type> 在 filter panel 中放置的 HTML 控件的类型。如果没有这个元素,或其值不能识别,生成一个 <select> 控件(又叫做复选框)。被识别的值有:
o radio: 创建一套 radio buttons
o list: 创建一个列表框
o list-multi: 创建一个具有多个选择的选择列表
o check-multi: 创建一套复选框,所有可见
o check-multi-scroll: 在一个可滚动的面板里创建一套检查框
o check-multi-scroll-2-column: 在一个可滚动的面板里创建 2 列检查框
o check-multi-scroll-3-column: 在一个可滚动的面板里创建 3 列检查框
o check-multi-scroll-4-column: 在一个可滚动的面板里创建 4 列检查框
Ø <data-display> * LOV 中的列名,其用于提供 UI 显示文本。例如如果 filter panel 的类型是 list,这列的值用于提供列表框中的文本。
Ø <data-value> * LOV 中的列名,其用于提供和 UI 显示文本相关的值。这些是当表单提交到服务器时,要发送的值。
Elements Unique to Each Filter Type
filter panel 中的每个 filter 可从以下 4 种源获取它的 list-of-values (LOV):
1. session scoped 参数
2. 全局参数
3. action sequence 输出
4. <filter> 元素的 body 中定义的 static list
Session Scoped 参数
为配置 filter panel,从一个 session scoped 参数中获取它的 LOV,添加 <session-attribute> 作为 <filter> 元素的 child。元素的文本是一个 session scoped 参数的名字,其包含LOV。这个参数必须是以下类型之一:list,result-set(TODO 其他是什么?)。
Global Scoped 参数
为配置 filter panel,从全局参数中获取它的 LOV,添加 <global-attribute> 作为 <filter> 元素的 child。元素的文本是包含 LOV 的全局参数的名字。这个参数必须是以下类型之一:list,result-set(TODO 其他是什么?)。
Action Sequence 输出
为配置 filter panel,从一个 Action Sequence 中获取它的 LOV,添加元素 <data-solution>,<data-path>,<data-action> 和 <data-output> 作为 <filter> 元素的 children。每个元素的文本应该是:
Ø <data-solution>: solution-repository 中的 solution 的名字,其包含 Action Sequence 定义文件。 例如,在 PCI solution-repository 的目录中叫做 pentaho-solutions。solution 自身包含在solution-repository 目录中。例如,PCI 自带的 solutions 叫:samples,admin 和 test solutions。
Ø <data-path>: 从 solution 到 Action Sequence 定义文件的路径。
Ø <data-action>: Action Sequence 定义文件的名字。
Ø <data-output>: 如果这个元素存在,它的文本应该是 Action Sequence 将 LOV 放置其中的Action Sequence 输出参数的名字。如果这个元素不存在,filter panel 将在名为 resultset的Action Sequence 的输出参数中寻找 LOV。
Static List
配置 filter panel,从 filter panel 定义文件中的 static list 获取它的 LOV。
Static LOV 还不可用 用一个 static list 初始化一个 LOV 将在下一个版本中可用。 |
创建 Action Sequences 为 Filter Panel's Controls 提供list-of-values (LOV) 数据
在这个实例中,在 samples/simpleDashboard/getCustomerNames.xaction 中创建了 action sequence。这个 Action Sequence 包含一个单独的 Action,其运行一个 SQL 查询,获取客户名和至少发了一个订单的客户的数量。注意列名 (customername, customernumber) 映射到 filter panel 定义文件中的 <data-display> 和 <data-value> 元素。也注意到 action sequence中的 Result Set Name (customerNamesList) 映射到 <data-output> 元素。Result Set 的值显示在 filter panel's form 的 list 控件中。
创建和页面中的其他 Portlets 相关的 Action Sequences
在这个简单的实例中,在页面中仅有一个 portlet,SimplePieChartPortlet portlet (使用类 ActionPortlet 实现)。
你想起 SimplePieChartPortlet 的优先选择,指定应该运行samples/simpleDashboard/JFree_ChartComponent.xaction Action Sequence。这个 Action Sequence 响应 filter panel 所放置的session 参数的改变,提供了商业数据的视图。
这个 Action Sequence 包含:
1. 一个 Relational action,其获取要在 pie chart 上显示的数据。
2. 一个 Pie Chart action,其使用数据在服务器上创建一个 pie chart image。
3. 一个 Message Template,其创建一个 HTML fragment 将 pie chart image 放进 portlet 中。
Relational action 在 SimpleData 数据库上运行一个查询,确定一个特定顾客最优先购买的 5 种产品。在这个实例中,我正使用一个 pie chart。通常,对于一个 pie chart,你需要 2 列数据。第一列确定 pie slice 的 label,第二列确定 pie slice 的相对数量。行数确定了 slices 的数量。
在这个实例中,第一列包含购买的产品,第二列包含购买的产品的数量。
注意查询中的 customernumber 来自 session scoped 输入 customernumber。这个值由 filter panel 放进了session 中。
Pie Chart action 在服务器上生成一个.png 文件,其包含 pie chart image。注意 chart-filename 和 base-url 输出。这些输出由 Pie Chart action 自动创建。chart-filename 中有包含 pie chart image 的文件的名字。base-url 包含 pie chart image 文件的 portal 相关的 URL。Message Template action 继续执行,创建引用服务器上的 chart image 的 HTML <img> tag。
Pie Chart 的默认行为在 Portlet 中不生效 Pie Chart action 的缺省行为就是生成一个包含 chart image 的完整 HTML 页面。这对一个 JSP 或 Servlet 是适当的。然而,portlet 中的 HTML 包含一个 HTML fragment,而不是完整的 HTML 页面。 可以修改默认行为,通过为 Pie Chart action 指定输出。幸运的,Pie Chart action 提供了 chart-filename 和base-url 输出。通过为 Pie Chart action 指定这些输出,它们将对 Action Sequence 中剩下的 actions 可用。 |
Message Template action 创建一个 HTML <img> 元素,其引用服务器上的 chart's image 文件。Message Template 能构造一个具有有效 src 属性的 HTML <img> 元素,通过合并 Pie Chartaction 的 base-url 和 chart-filename 输入以引用服务器上生成的图像文件。这个 action 的输出(imgtag) 是一个 HTML fragment,其被添加到 Action Sequence 的输出。
Action Sequence 的输出(例如 HTML fragment) 由 ActionPortlet 捕获。ActionPortlet 将这个 HTML fragment 传送到 Portal,以和页面上其他 portlets 生成的 HTML fragments 进行聚合。然后聚合后的 HTML 内容被发送回浏览器,以显示 portal dashboard。
为了方便,我已经包含了 JFree_ChartComponent Action Sequence 的 XML。

创建一个 JNDI 可访问的 Datasource 为 Action Sequences 提供数据
在 PCI 中,指定 datasources,通过在 PCI 的 server/default/deploy 文件夹下添加一个 XML 文件。文件的名字必须以 "-ds.xml" 结束。
这个实例使用 SampleData JNDI 名字来引用它的 datasource。SampleData 的配置文件叫sampledata-ds.xml,如下所示:
<?xml version="1 .0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <datasources>
<local-tx-datasource>
<j ndi-name> SampleData</j ndi-name>
<connection-url>j dbc : hsqldb : hsql: //localhost: 9001/sampledata</connection-url> <driver-class>org . hsqldb. j dbcDriver</driver-class>

select count(*) from INFORMATION _SCHEMA. SYSTEM_SEQUENCES

</datasources>

使用一个 System Action 改善 Filter Panel 的性能 |
filter panel 的当前配置每次从数据库获取 list-of-values (LOV)。filter panel 在 portal 页面中呈现。对于很少改变的 LOV,以这个频率获取数据,将会在数据库服务器上引发不必要的负载。
通过以下方式,我们可减少负载:
1. 配置一个 System Action 当平台启动时,一次从数据库获取值的列表,将之放进一个全局参数中。然后这个全局参数可用作任何 Action Sequence 的输入。
2. 修改 filter panel 的定义从全局参数获取 LOV,而不是运行 getCustomerNames Action Sequence 访问 LOV。
3. 修改 getCustomerNames Action Sequence 确保它关闭了数据库连接,将查询的结果存储在一个disconnected result set 中。
配置 System Action
简单的说,一个 System Action 是一个 Action Sequence,其被配置运行于系统启动时,或 session 启动时。System Actions 在 repository 的系统配置文件中进行配置,通常称作pentaho.xml。配置 System Actions 的详细信息请参考文章 System Actions。
在系统配置文件中添加以下 xml fragment 将导致在系统启动时,运行getCustomerNames.xaction,那个 action sequence 的输出作为全局参数,可用于 portlets。
<pentaho-system>
...
<system-actions>
...
<org.pentaho.ui.portlet.PentahoPortletSession scope="global">
samples/simpleDashboardUsingSystemAction/getCustomerNames.xaction </org.pentaho.ui.portlet. PentahoPortletSession>
... </system-actions>
...
</pentaho-system>
修改 Filter Panel
修改 filter panel 的定义:删除节点 <data-solution>,<data-path>,<data-action> 和 <data-output>,用节点 <global-attribute> 替换它们。<global-attribute> 节点的文本应该和最初的 filter panel 配置文件中的 <data-output> 节点的文本一样(例如 getCustomerNames Action Sequence 输出的名字)。
在平台的 Pre-1.6 版本中配置 Filter Panel 在平台的 pre-1.6 版本中,不是使用 <global-attribute> 元素来标识输入的名字,而是使用 <session-attribute> 元素。 |
<filters>
<name>CustomerNamesFilter</name>
<filter>
<!-- Title text displayed in the filter panel -->
<title>Customer</title>
<!-- name and id of the HTML form control representing this filter --> <name>customernumber< /name>
<!-- type of control to display in the filter panel -->
<type>list</type>
<!-- name of global scoped parameter containing the LOV --> <global-attribute>customerNamesList</global-attribute>
<!-- maps to the <option> element's text -->
<data-display>customername</data-display>
<!-- maps to the <option> element's value attribute in the HTML form --> <data-value>customernumber</data-value>
</ filter>
</filters>
修改 getCustomerNames Action Sequence 确保它关闭了它的数据库连接
在 Relational action 中,默认选中 Keep Connection Open 复选框。你需要取消选中这个复选框。
"Keep Connections Open" 是什么意思? 如果没有选中 Keep Connections Open,当一个 Relational action 运行一个数据库查询时,它立即将查询的结果存储进一个 light-weight java 对象中,并关闭到数据库的连接。这个 light-weight java 对象可被存储为请求中的一个参数,session 或 global scope。这使得对象可用于 action sequence 中的其他 actions,以及在其他时间运行的其他action sequences。然而结果经常很大,使得将内容复制进一个 light-weight java 对象很昂贵。同时将这两个对象临时保存在内存中也很昂贵。在这种情况下,选中 "Keep Connections Open" 就很有意义。这将导致 result-set 到数据库的连接处于 open 状态。result-set 对这个 action sequence 中的其他 actions 可用。不会对 light-weight java 对象作一个副本。在所有情况下,执行完 action sequence,就会关闭到数据库的连接。这就暗示选中了 "Keep Connections Open" 之后创建的 result set不会是 session 或 global scope,因为当前 action sequence 执行完后,就会关闭 result set 的连接,使之不可用。 |
你需要重启你的服务器,使得这些改变生效。
