Semantic Layer! Major features missing: dynamic parameters, enforced parameters upon field selection, dynamic SQL generation (using params)
All in the title. A semantic layer such as SAP Business Objects universes is the BASIS for self-service BI. Exists for over 30 years now, and MS does not even have dynamically populated prompts. Frus...
I couldn't agree with this more! Self service BI is where we're driving towards at our organization. This works best when the technical layer (database structures, etc) are abstracted away from our business users leaving a layer that presents and groups the fields in a purely business oriented way. Business Objects was doing this 20 years ago allowing even the most computer illiterate to serve their own reporting needs.
