Architecture
When users generate a report, erwin Version 9 Mart retrieves data from the Mart Server via web services.
The components involved in reporting are as follows:
- A reporting tool that can report on XML data
- Mart Server, which is a component of erwin Version 9 Mart installation
- Mart database, which is the data source for the Mart Server
erwin Data Modeler (DM) Release 8 Mart reported directly against the Mart database. This approach has changed in erwin DM Version 9 Mart onward.
The following steps describe the process of generating reports in erwin DM Mart, version 9 onward :
- Reporting tools connect to the Mart Server through web services.
- Web services return the report information in XML data format.
- Reporting tools use this XML information as the dataset and display the report.
The following diagram illustrates the reporting architecture:
