# CMS Data Access Driver - Custom Samples



[![REUSE status](https://api.reuse.software/badge/github.com/SAP-samples/boe-custom-cms-data-access-driver)](https://api.reuse.software/info/github.com/SAP-samples/boe-custom-cms-data-access-driver)



## Description

The [Central Management Server Database Driver](https://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/Unlock+the+CMS+database+with+new+data+access+driver+for+BI+4.2)

 allows you to use a universe and native reporting clients to query the metadata of the  Central Management Server (CMS) repository database.

A `Standard Universe` and a set of standard `Web Intelligence documents` are available for CMS Reporting & Analysis.  

You can extend and customize the solution: 

 * **Information Design Tool** - add objects to the universe,  see Community Wiki [add simple objects](https://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/BIRA+universe%3A+01+-+add+simple+objects)

 * **Java Plug-in(s)** - add virtual tables to the Data Foundation of the CMS DB universe using the `CMS Data Access Driver SDK`

 

This project provides content to demonstrate use cases from different areas and can also be used as **Quick Start** for the development of additional `Virtual Tables`. 

 

 * **Get** - more sample `Web Intelligence documents` for CMS Reporting & Analysis  

 * **Learn** -  how easy `Custom Virtual Tables` can be developed and advanced functionality can be added to the `CMS Universe`  

 * **Try** - deploy and run the samples **on your BI platform**, get excited about the capabilities and inspired to build your own solutions
