InterSystems Business Intelligence enables you to embed business intelligence (BI) into your applications so that your users can ask and answer sophisticated questions of their data. Specifically, your application can include dashboards, which can include the following:
Interactive widgets that execute queries designed for specific user roles or for specific areas of your user interface.
Controls such as drop-down lists and data choosers that enable users to modify these queries.
Interactive drill options that enable users to view the displayed data in different ways.
Options to export, print, and send alerts to other users.
An option to launch the Mini Analyzer, which supports free-form analysis.
Execute custom actions that are provided as buttons or other controls.
In contrast to traditional BI systems that use static data warehouses, Business Intelligence is kept closely in synchronization with the live transactional data, as required for your business.
Let's start by learning about debugging requirements!
Prerequisites
There are two plugins (extensions) for debugging ObjectScript:
The first is part of the InterSystems ObjectScript Extension Pack. The second is Serenji, a standalone plugin that provides an editor, file manager, and debugging functionality. Both plugins can be installed from the plugin store. To activate key functionality, Serenji requires a license. For this article, we'll use the InterSystems ObjectScript Extension Pack to reduce the learning curve. After you've mastered the basics, you can consider purchasing a paid license for Serenji.
