Creating a Customized BI Beans uiXML Application

The uiXML Application wizard lets you create a customized BI Beans uiXML application that provides you with a quick and simple introduction to using BI Beans uiXML elements. You select the options that you want for the application and the wizard creates a working application that you can examine and customize further.

To prepare for the creation of the BI Beans uiXML application, consider creating a BI Designer and a presentation that you can use in your application. Creating these objects before you create the BI Beans uiXML application simplifies the process and enables the final application to provide you with a more complete introduction to BI Beans UIX technology.

Preparing to create the application

To prepare for the creation of the customized BI Beans uiXML application, use the following procedure:

  1. Create a BI Designer to specify the database and the BI Beans Catalog that your application should use. The BI Designer must exist before you can create a BI Beans presentation.

  2. Create a BI Beans presentation (graph, crosstab, or table) that your application can analyze, if you do not already have a presentation available.

Creating the customized application

To create the customized BI Beans uiXML application, use the following procedure:

  1. In the System - Navigator, right-click the BI Designer object (or your project) and select New from the popup menu. The New dialog box appears.

  2. In the Categories column, select Business Intelligence.

  3. In the Items column, select uiXML Application.

  4. Choose OK to dismiss the dialog box. The uiXML Application wizard is displayed.

  5. Complete the uiXML Application wizard. To produce the most complete application, select all the available options.

  6. Choose Finish.

You can begin your examination of the application by reviewing the UIXReadMe file, which contains a summary description of the files that the wizard produced. Then, you can customize the application, as needed.
