JaspersoftETL is a Java code generation tool designed to load your operational data into a  data warehouse  and get it ready for reporting and analysis.   Jaspersoft OLAP  takes advantage of aggregate tables and an in-memory cache to speed up queries. If you're running a nightly job to load the DW, it's a good idea to clear the OLAP cache at that time, otherwise your users will not take advantage of new data. There are several ways to clear the OLAP cache: Login with superuser privileges and display the OLAP Settings page. In the OLAP Settings panel, click Flush OLAP Cache .    Using utilities such as cURL and wget, send an HTTP request to this URL: http://server:8080/ olap/flush.html?j_username=superuser&j_password= Restart the application server instance.  Call the Java API. I've created a small component that allows the clearing of cache via the URL method from a JasperETL/Talend job. Essentially it will prompt you for a userna...

This is a short article on getting Google Analytics into JaspersoftETL / Talend ETL tools. Google Analytics has a nice interface and many great ways of analyzing web traffic, it'd be hard to beat the work Google did there. The purpose of this connector would be to bring the data into your own data warehouse and join it with other intelligence you might have.

You'll need JasperETL 4.1.2 or older (commercial editions here , open source here ). Installing the plugin: Create a new Job Design and drag the tGoogleAnalyticsInput component from the Palette (under Internet): Configure the component. First start with finding some fields you'd like to use from the Google API: http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/gdata/dimsmets/dimsmets.html....
