DrillThrough via REST API

Elias Barry

1. What is your idea?

 DrillThrough via a REST API Connection. 

2. What specific problem are you trying to find a solution to, or what new scenario would this idea respond to?


Our customer wants to use the new REST API for data integration, instead of an additional MS SQL Layer, but still be able to perform a Drill Through. This is currently not possible, as a DrillThrough is only available via ODBC.

3. What workaround have you found and used so far (if any)?

Keep the MS SQL Layer.

 4. What is your role in your organization?

Senior Project Manager.
