[teiid-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (TEIID-1011) Add support for connecting to Mondrian

[John Doyle (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-1011?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12577859#comment-12577859 ] 

John Doyle commented on TEIID-1011:
-----------------------------------

SAP does support XMLA.  But I do think it's important for Ken to comment before this is closed.  The ability to parse the values out of an XMLA response still leave a large conceptual gap for the implementer to resolve (it's still multidimensional).  That said, in my discussions with users interested in OLAP and specifically SAP BW connectivity they want it as a check box item, but can't provide a use case.  So it's hard to know what's satisfactory.  I'm concerned this solution might check the box but be considered too complex when a user attempts to use it.
