Version 1.91 Released

Hi,

Today we are happy to announce the release of InsFocus BI version 1.91.

The new version puts a great emphasis on communication infrastructures, enabling easy integration with other services, various external connectors to BI data and report scheduling, all enabling users to be closer to the BI data they require.

REST communication

InsFocus BI is now fully RESTful, providing much easier SOA and new ways to integrate BI capabilities into the different company’s applications and services;

  • Fully RESTful interface (using GET, POST, PUT and DELETE)
  • Most methods use GET and can be tested from any browser
  • Communication is based on simple basic authentication with SSL encryption
  • Response format is either XML or JSON
  • Most important methods, such as running queries or getting user’s report list, support returning results in HTML
  • Many methods which return large results also support returning compressed byte streams, for fast communication

New external connectors

Based on the previous Excel connector, InsFocus BI now has new ways to connect to the BI server and run queries;

  • Return a query as internal InsFocus object or as HTML table
  • Run a query by parameters or run a report stored in server’s libraries
  • Pass query parameters either as structured XML or as part of the query URL
  • Connect from any browser or from Excel
  • Return HTML table with or without CSS formatting

Report scheduler

Utilizing the new communications and connectors, InsFocus BI now has a report scheduler that is able to send report results by mail and SMS;

  • Schedule reports to run daily, weekly or monthly
  • Schedule reports to run one or more times per day
  • Schedule reports saved in library or queries not even saved
  • Send results by template-based, formatted, HTML mail
  • Save results to HTML files
  • Send results by SMS directly to executive’s cell phones
