Google Gadgets and BI Publisher

January 9, 2009

I found an interesting little utility the other day – a Google Gadget that allows you to add BI Publisher charts  to your Windows desktop.

It looks like this and there is a scroll bar that allows you to page through the charts:

bip_google_gadget

 To install the gadget you first need to have Google Desktop  installed.   http://desktop.google.com/

Once that is installed, you right-click on the Google sidebar and select Add Gadget…

bip_add_gadget

and select the BI Publisher Chart gadget.

Once that is done, right-click on the gadget and select Options and enter the connection string and the URL of the report as follows:

bip_options

Click OK and your Google side bar will be updated with the report.

Nifty.  Give it a try!

Well, here we go with my New Year Resolution – Start a blog on Oracle Business Intelligence.

I thought it would be a nice idea to gather together all the tips and tricks I have learned over the last few years and put them together in one place. 

Hopefully you will find it useful.
