Introduction

Kung Fu means supreme skill from hard work. Preparation, endless

repetition, until your mind is weary, and your bones ache, until you're

too tired to sweat, too wasted to breathe. That is the way, the only way

one acquires kung fu.

Hundred Eyes - Marco Polo (2014) Season 1

n this book, we will learn how to integrate SpagoBI

business intelligence software and a geographic

information system (GIS).

Business Intelligence systems are used to provide useful

information from the millions of transactions done by

businesses daily while GIS systems are used to analyze all

types of geographical data. The marriage of these two systems

provides a powerful platform that provides a visual analysis of

the data that can be appreciated by even non technical users.

This is not a book on GIS but rather a book on integration of

GIS and Business Intelligence. However, the reader do not

need to have any background training on GIS or SpagoBI

because we will be introducing these concepts gradually and

even readers new to these technologies will be able to pick up.

Introduction to GIS

So what is GIS? We can say that it is any system that stores

and analyses geographical data. Several software do exist in

the market that fills this role. Such software include both

desktop and browser based variants such as Bing Maps,

I

ArcServer, Google Earth, Arcmap and QGIS. We will be using

the free QGIS for this tutorial.

When dealing with GIS, we normally store two types of data:

1. Attribute data – This is textual data that describes

features in the map for example population information

about countries. It basically says what a feature is.

2. Spatial data – This describes where the feature is to be

found and is made up of coordinates and other

information about map features. Further, spatial data

can either be vector based or raster based. Vector based

data uses paths to render the image while raster uses

pixels. In this book, we will see how to represent several

features in a map as vector consisting of points, lines,

and areas. We will also use raster data. Do not worry

about this versbose description, it will become clearer

once we begin the practical exercise.

Scenario one

The SpagoBI training website www.learn-spabobi.com has

several students from different countries all over the world.

The owner wants to map the students in a map of the world so

that he can easily see which countries has the most users to his

website. This will allow him to customize the courses to better

suit his audience. How can we use SpagoBI to achieve this?

3

Solution

D i a g r a m 1

Diagram 1 shows a sample location intelligence document that

meets this need. We will create a document similar to this in

SpagoBI. If you look at diagram one keenly, you will notice

several things:

1. Colored cycles are used to represent countries that has

students in learn-spagobi.com. The size of the cycle

denotes the number of students. A bigger cycle will

represent more students in a country as opposed to a

smaller cyle. Later on in the course, we will also see

how to use thematic points with different colour coding

to denote this.


4

2. The map has attribute data that gives more information

about a country if a cycle is clicked. For example, when

we click on the cyce on Kenya, it tells us that the ISO

code for Kenya is KE, it gives us the population,

longitude and latitude e.t.c. We will learn how to add

our own attribute data, how to modify existing attribute

data and how to reat attribute data from a relational

database to make it dynamic.

3. Lastly, we note that this map came from existing

sources like google map or any other source with up

todate maps. We will use maps from

http://thematicmapping.org but you can follow

along with maps from your own sources.

http://thematicmapping.org/

5

QGIS

To help us provide a solution to what have been described in

scenario one, get started with SpagoBI and GIS, we will first

need to download and setup a GIS software that we will need

to manipulate and view the maps that we will then be analysed

together with additional data, by SpagoBI.

So what is QGIS? Wikipedia gives a very good summary of

what this software is. Here is what they say about it. QGIS

(previously known as "Quantum GIS") is a cross-platform free

and open-source desktop geographic information system (GIS)

application that provides data viewing, editing, and analysis

capabilities

Similar to other software GIS systems QGIS allows users to

create maps with many layers using different map projections.

Maps can be assembled in different formats and for different

uses. QGIS allows maps to be composed of raster or vector

layers. Typical for this kind of software the vector data is stored

as either point, line, or polygon-feature. Different kinds of

raster images are supported and the software can perform

georeferencing of images.

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QGIS)

Now if you check our requirements for scenario one above, you

see that the first thing we need is a world map. It is in the

countries in this map that we will put cycles to denote a country

where a student resides, the bigger the cycle, the more

2

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QGIS


6

studennts we have in that country. Since we are not in the

business of creating maps, we will need to download the world

map from somewhere. Again as we do not want to pay for this

map, we can get one from a reputed public source. Then once

we have the map, we can use QGIS to modify its attributes.

Follow these steps.

1. Download QGIS Desktop 2.8.2 from

https://www.qgis.org/en/site/forusers/download.html

2. Install the QGIS software in your machine. It will

come with several other software that we will not be

using e.g GRASS GIS 6.4.3, MSYS and QGIS

Browser 2.8.2 and SAGA GIS (2.1.2). We are only

interested in QGIS Desktop 2.8.2.

3. From your desktop or start menu, click on QGIS

Desktop 2.8.2. icon. It has the icon similar to the one

below.

4. This will open the QGIS desktop.

https://www.qgis.org/en/site/forusers/download.html

7

5. Now what we need is a map that we can manipulate in

the QGIS software. Since in SpagoBI we need to show

location of all students that have enrolled at learn-

spagobi.com from all over the world, we will need to

download a world map. You can get one from here

http://thematicmapping.org/downloads/TM_WORLD_BORDE

RS-0.3.zip

The file comes in a format called a shape file which is

a data format for GIS systems. The zip file when

extracted will contain several files:

a. A file with the extension .shp which has the

geometry data.

b. A file with the extension .shx which is the index

for the .shp file. This allows you to go

backwards and forward on the .shp file faster,

http://thematicmapping.org/downloads/TM_WORLD_BORDERS-0.3.zip

http://thematicmapping.org/downloads/TM_WORLD_BORDERS-0.3.zip


8

much like indexes do in a book or a relational

database.

c. A file with the extension .dbf which stores

attributes for each shape. This file is in the

dBase format.

d. A file with the extension .prj which has the

coordinate system and projection information in

the Well-known text (WKT) format.

6. Extract the map to the location

E:\BI\TM_WORLD_BORDERS-0.3. You will notice

that the map comes as several files as discussed above.

a. TM_WORLD_BORDERS-0.3.dbf

b. TM_WORLD_BORDERS-0.3.prj

c. TM_WORLD_BORDERS-0.3.shp

d. TM_WORLD_BORDERS-0.3.shx

7. Now in QGIS, go to Layer Menu. Select Add Layer

and click on Add Vector Layer as shown below.

8. Browse and select the TM_WORLD_BORDERS-

0.3.shp file then click on open.

9

9. It will load the map. Now let us look at the attributes

of this map. Under Layers, right click on

TM_WORLD_BORDERS-0.3 and select “Open

Attribute Table”


10

10. This will allow you to view the attributes of the

shapes. Do you remember, from our discussion in step

5, in which file these attributes are stored?

In future, we will be using QGIS to change some of

these attributes, modify column names, delete

attributes, change color of maps, make them

transparent e.t.c but for now, that will suffice for the

introduction to QGIS.

11

GeoServer

Once we have modified the attributes of the map we had

downloaded in QGIS, we will need a way of publishing or

distributing it to SpagoBI. We do this using another software

called GeoServer. This server allows you to share your map

with a large audience who will just need a URL to be able to

access it. So now let us go to http://geoserver.org/ and

download the latest version of GeoServer in my case version

2.7.1.

Extract the file to the location C:\BI\geoserver-2.7.0-bin\geoserver-2.7.0 or any free location in your computer.

Geoserver by default uses the port 8080 so you might want to

change it to something else since SpagoBi also uses this as

the default port. So open the file C:\BI\geoserver-2.7.0-bin\geoserver-2.7.0\etc\jetty.xml and change the port to

8090

Then use the batch file on C:\BI\geoserver-2.7.0-bin\geoserver-2.7.0\bin\startup.bat to startup the

Geoserver.

3

http://geoserver.org/


12

Open a web browser and navigate to the URL

http://localhost:8090/geoserver/web which is the Geoserver

URL. Login with username admin and password geoserver.

The first thing we need to create is a workspace. A workspace

is used to organize the items you will be creating in

Geoserver. So to create a workspace, click on Workspaces

(Arrow 1) then select Add new workspace (arrow 2)

http://localhost:8090/geoserver/web

13

For name, enter learnspagobi and for the URI use http://learn-spagobi.com and make it the default workspace then click on submit.

http://learn-spagobi.com/


14

Next, we need to create a store. The store will be used to

connect to a source of data which can either be vector or

raster. In our case, we will create a store which will connect

to the shapefile which we modified using QGIS previously.

Remember, you can also have the data store come from a

database for dynamic maps which we will look at later.

Click on stores (arrow 1)and select add new store (arrow 2).

Select the first option, which is “Directory of spatial files

(shapefiles)”

For workspace, use the workspace we created previously. For

Data Source Name , use WORLDMAP. Put any description

http://localhost:8090/geoserver/web/?wicket:bookmarkablePage=:org.geoserver.web.data.store.NewDataPage

http://localhost:8090/geoserver/web/?wicket:bookmarkablePage=:org.geoserver.web.data.store.NewDataPage

15

you like. Then under Connection Parameters, browse for the

directory where we have the file TM_WORLD_BORDERS-

0.3.shp and select it then click on save.

On the next screen click on publish.

Under Declared SRS (arrow 1) , enter EPSG:4326 and for

SRS handling (arrow 2), use “Reproject native to declared”

then under “Lat/Lon Bounding Box” click on “Compute from

native bounds” (arrow 3) then save.

http://localhost:8090/geoserver/web/?wicket:interface=:18::::

http://localhost:8090/geoserver/web/?wicket:interface=:18::::


16

This will automatically create for you a layer called

TM_WORLD_BORDERS-0.3. This is the layer that we will

call from SpagoBI. So let us check that it is working. Click on

layer preview then search for your workspace you just

created. Then click on OpenLayers KM.

If you have done all the steps correctly, you can see that the

map will be rendered. If you click on any area of the map, it

will show you details about it. If you check the image below,

you can see that we selected China. You can also zoom in and

out of the map. We will stop there for now, load some data

into SpagoBI and see how to analyze it.

http://localhost:8090/geoserver/web/?wicket:bookmarkablePage=:org.geoserver.web.data.resource.ResourceConfigurationPage&name=TM_WORLD_BORDERS-0.3&wsName=learnspagobi

SpagoBI

We have now learnt how to modify our map data using QGIS

and how to publish this map in the Geoserver ready for use by

any map consuming application like SpagoBI.

Like we had stated before, we will use the following scenario

to help us make a sample map.

The scenario:

The SpagoBI training website www.learn-spabobi.com has

several students from different countries all over the world.

The owner wants to map the students in a map of the world so

that he can easily see which countries has the most users to his

website. This will allow him to customize the courses to better

suit his audience. How can we use SpagoBI to achieve this?

From the scenario above, you can see that we need several

things.

1. We need a world map. We have already loaded one in

Geoserver and is ready to be used by SpagoBI.

2. We need the student data that contains which country

they come from so that we can link it to the map data.

To achive number two above, that is load the student data, we

will need to login to SpagoBI and create a dataset called

“SpagoBI Students” with the contents of the file Learn-

spagobi.com Users.csv which came with this book if you

purchased it.

Proceed as follows:

4

19

1. Login to SpagoBI as user biadmin password biadmin.

Navigate to resources -> Data Set.

2. Create a new dataset called

DS_SPAGOBI_STUDENTS.


20

3. Click on the type tab. For the DataSet Type: select

File. Select Choose File tab and select “Learn-spagobi.com Users.csv” file that came with this

book then click on upload file. For Delimiter Character, select comma. For quote character, select “.

21

4. Preview your data and if all is fine, save the dataset.

5. Create a new Location Intelligence document with the

label “Learn SpagoBI” and name and description

“Learn SpagoBI Students”. For Type, select “Location

Intelligence”. For Engine, select GIS Engine. Select

the dataset you had created previously

“DS_SPAGOBI_STUDENTS”.

For the template, use Learn-Spagobi.json which came

with this book. We will explain line by line the

contents of the template later. Save your document.


22

6. Execute the document you just created. You will get

the following output.

23

7. Instead of highlighting the various countries where our

students come from using different shades of colors,

we can also use points with different cycle sizes where

the bigger the cycle, the more students are in that

coutry. In your document, instead of mapzone, select

map point as shown below.

8. This will change the way you view your map.

From the map above, you can see that the countries


24

with bigger cycles have more students. Since our map

is crowded, click on the plus icon to maximize it.

This will make your map bigger. You can then click

and drag any area of your map. So let us see if we have

any students in South America.

If you click on any cycle, it will give you more

information about that country. For example, if we

click on Brazil, it will give us information about

Brazil.

25

So the question is, where do the information like population,

longitude and latitude come from? It is not in the dataset we

created so where do SpagoBI get it? It gets it from the

attribute table. Incase you do not want to display some of this

data, you can simply delete it using QGIS, or even add more

information to be displayed if someone clicks on a country.

We can also read this data from a mysql database to make it

dynamic. We will discuss how this is done in subsequent

chapters.


26

The Attribute Table

When we select a geographic area in the map we created in

the previous chapter, it gave us some information about that

particular county like population, latitude, longitude e.t.c.

This information is stored in an attribute table. For the

shapefile we used, physically, the information is stored in

dBase, a type of database. So how do we view this

information and how do we modify it if we need to? We can

use the QGIS software to do this.

Start your QGIS and open the TM_WORLD_BORDERS-

0.3.shp shapefile as we had done previously and open the

attribute table.

Let us look at the information for Brazil from the attribute

table highlighted below in red.

54

27

Compare this information to what we were getting in

SpagoBI.

You can see that the data is similar which means that both the

data in QGIS and the one in SpagoBI came from the attribute


28

table. From SpagoBI, check the population of Kenya. We

want to see how to modify this. So check the value before

modification.

We can see that Kenya’s population is 35 million. Let us

change it to 42 million using the editing feature.

Then enter the value 42,000,000 in the POP2005 field.

29

Save your attribute table. Now reload your SpagoBI

document and check if the population information have

changed for Kenya. You will find that it is still reading the

old values. This is because SpagoBI is not reading the

information directly from the shapefile but form the

Geoserver. So if you want the changes to be visible in

SpagoBI, you will need to reload the shapefile in the

geoserver. Follow these steps.

1. Navigate to http://localhost:8090/geoserver and login

with username admin and password geoserver.

2. Navigate to stores and select the WORLDMAP store

we created previously.

3. Then under Directory of shapefiles *, select the

shapefile you just modified.

4. Reload SpagoBI (Note that you may need to restart

Tomcat) and check if population information for

Kenya is updated.

http://localhost:8090/geoserver


30

You can see that the population information is now

updated to 42,000,000.

What if you wanted to modify the column information in the

attribute table? You might even want to delete the column

entirely. All these can be done using QGIS. Let us say we

want to delete the SUBREGION and modify POP2005 to be

POP2015.

31

To make the changes above, proceed as follows.

1. Start the QGIS desktop.

2. We will need to download the Table manager plugin to

help us modify columns. Click on Plugins then select

Manage and Install Plugins…

3. Search for Table manager then install it.


32

4. Now, on the left bottom of QGIS, click on the double

arrows and click on Table Manager icon.

5. Select POP2005 and select Rename.

33

6. Change it to POP2015.

7. Select subregion and then select delete.


34

8. Confirm deletion.

9. Save your new shapefile as World2.

35

10. We will need to create a new store and layer in

Geoserver with the new modified shapefile. Add a new

shapefile store to the learnspagobi workspace as we

had done previously.

11. For the shapefile, select the new one we just modified

i.e World2.

12. Then Save.


36

13. Next, click on Publish.

14. Under Declared SRS, enter EPSG:4326 and then

select Reproject native to declared under SRS

handling. Next click on Compute from native bounds.

37

15. Click on Save. Click on Layer Preview then search for

the layer World2. To preview your layer, click on

OpenLayers.

16. Click on any area in the map. From the Geoserver

preview, confirm that the attribute column POP2005

was changed to POP2015. Also confirm that the


38

SUBREGION column was deleted.

17. Now we need to modify the entry for layer name in

our json file that is used by SpagoBI as the template.

In the files that came with this book, under the

templates folder, open the file Learn-

SpagobiNoNavigationWorld2.json in a text editor.

18. You will note that the file references the layer World2.

Load this new json file as your new template in

SpagoBI.

39

19. Save and execute the document. You will notice that

SUBREGION field have been deleted and POP2005 is

now changed to POP2015.


40

41

Template

We now have some understanding of how to use SpagoBI

with GIS but we have not yet discussed the template we used

for this exercise. We will do so in this chapter. Here is the

template we used in the previous chapters discussed line by

line. You can get the full file in the folder template in the CD

that came with this book. The file is called Learn-

SpagobiNoNavigationWorld2.json.

The first line is just an opening bracket for the json file. The

second line mapName: "Students", is the name of the map

panel. You can give any string here. We have called ours

Students. Remember this is not a map that exists in SpagoBI,

it is just a name of a panel.

Line 3, analysisType: "choropleth", means the thematistion

method used. It can be:

1. Proportional-Symbols shows point geometry. Here is

an example where Proportional-Symbols is used i.e

analysisType: "proportionalSymbols".

6


42

2. Choropleth shows polygonal geometry. Here is the

same map with Choropleth i.e analysisType:

"choropleth".

Line 7 or indicators: [["No of Students", "STUDENTS"]], is

a numeric value that we can analyze. These can be several e.g

43

if our map was showing analysis of disease outbreak, then if

we clicked on Malaria for example, it would only show

malaria on our map and if we clicked on Ebola, it would show

Ebola. In our case, we only have one indicator, i.e the number

of students registered at www.learn-spagobi.com

But what if we wanted to display in addition to the number of

students registered for a course, the number of courses

registered for? Then we would need to modify the dataset to

add a column for the number of registered courses.

Fortunately, we have already done this so modify your dataset

to use the file Learn-spagobi.com Users2.csv under the

Dataset folder that came with this book. Your dataset should

now look like this.


44

Then you would need to modify your template to include the

new field as an indicator.

indicators: [["No of Students", "STUDENTS"] ,["Courses

Registered", "REGISTERED"]],

45

You can then select which indicator to display.

The next lines 8 and 9 shows how you link the data in your

dataset and the data in the attribute table. In your dataset, you

have a column called FIPS and this is what line 8 shows

under businessId. We need to link this to another column in

the attribute table called FIPS and this is what line 9 shows

under geoId. Remember the field names need not be the

same.

You can see below how we have linked the FIPS field in the

attribute table with the FIPS field in the dataset. You can see

that they have similar data that is 2 character country code.


46

Next we need to tell SpagoBI what is the source of the map so

we do so in line 15 by giving it the URL of the Geoserver.

Line 14 gives the name of the layer and line 13 is just a

description. You can put anything here.

47

Cross Navigation

A boat capsizes when it is just about to reach the shore. – A Luo proverb.

n this chapter, we will see how to navigate from our

map document to a child document such that when a

user clicks on any area of the map, it will open a

detailed document with more information about the

selected area. This can be used, for example, to display sales

reports for various regions in details. It can also be used to

provide more information than can be provided in an attribute

table. Here is an image that explains what we want to achieve.

48

The data we will use for the child report can be downloaded

from http://data.okfn.org/data/core/country-

codes/r/country-codes.csv

Alternatively, you can use the CountryInfo.csv file under the

data folder in the CD that came with this book. Follow these

steps to create a child report.

1. Start the SpagoBI Studio and create a new project of

type SpagoBI.

http://data.okfn.org/data/core/country-codes/r/country-codes.csv

http://data.okfn.org/data/core/country-codes/r/country-codes.csv

49

2. For the project name, use LearnSpagoBI


50

3. Create a new connection to your SpagoBI server.

4. Enter the Server name, Url, User, Password and check

the Active button. Click on Test button to ensure it can

actually connect to the SpagoBI server. We will use

this connection to upload the documents we create in

the SpagoBI studio to the SpagoBI server. Then click

on Finish.

51

5. Change your perspective to Report Design. Click on

Window -> Open Perspective-> Other…

6. Then click on Report Design.


52

7. With your project selected, create a new file of type

report. This will be the child report such that when we

click on country in the map, it will open this child

report which will show more details about the country

we have selected.

8. For the name, use CountryReport.rptdesign and click

on Finish.

9. Click on the Data Explorer tab and create a new Data

Source.

53

10. Select flat file Data Source and for the Data Source

name, use Country


54

11. Navigate to the Data folder that came with this book.

12. Test your connection and click on Finish.

13. Now create a new dataset.

55

14. For the name, use DS_COUNTRY and click Next.

15. Select all fields and move them to the right then click

on Finish.


56

16. Preview your results to make sure everything is OK.

57

17. Create a new Report Parameter by clicking on Report

Parameters. This is the parameter that will be filled

with values from the map when someone clicks on a

country. It will help us filter the country that have been

selected.


58

18. Give the Parameter the name country then click on

OK.

Now edit your dataset and create a filter.

59

19. Under filters, select new.

20. For the filter condition, use ISO31661Alpha2 and

select Equal To.


60

21. Select build expression.

22. Then double click on the report parameter we just

created and click on OK.

61

23. Now drag your dataset to your report and format it as

you desire.

24. After creating the formatting you need, save the file.


62

Now deploy the file to SpagoBI automatically using the server

connection you created previously or you can do it manually

as follows.

1. Login to SpagoBI as user biadmin and create a new

BIRT document with the following properties.

63

2. We will need to create a new Analytical driver that we

will need to map to the filter we created previously so

that if one clicks on a county, it will pass the country

code as a string to the report. Click on the icon below.


64

3. Then select string manual input.

4. For the title, enter FIPS. The URL should have same

name as the parameter name in the report so enter

country also. Select Required.

5. Save your document and try executing it to test if it is

working. For FIPS, enter KE then execute.

65

6. You should get the following output. Test with your

own country code.

7. Remember we do not want to be manually entering

this parameter value. What we need is that when a user

clicks on any country in the map, it should pass the

code of the country to our child report.


66

8. To enable us do this, we will need to modify the json

template we used with our map to handle cross

navigation. You can get the template under the

template folder in the CD that came with this book. It

is called Learn-SpagobiNavigation_1.json. The

additional lines that have been added are as below.

67

Line 35 tells us that the mode we want to use is cross

navigation. Here you can either use cross or detail.

COUNTRYDETAIL is the label of the child report we

want to open. This is the BIRT report we created

previously. Line 38 tells us that we will be passing a

value to the parameter named country in the child

report. The value we will be passing is in the attribute

table column FIPS.

9. Reload your map to use the template Learn-

SpagobiNavigation_1.json and try to click on any

country. It will open the report with the country you

have selected as shown.
