Data Model and Report Implementation

Hej There!

I’m new to CMDBuild and want to solve the following problem with it:

It would be nice if you have some advice for me how to solve that!

Kind regards

Datamodel

My CIs:

  • GNSS Antenna (Serial Number, Manufacturer, Model)
  • GNSS Radome (Serial Number, Manufacturer, Model)
  • GNSS Receiver (IP-Address, Serial Number, Manufacturer, Model)
  • GNSS Firmware (Manufacturer, Version)
  • Default IT-Devices (Router, Switch, UPS, etc., VMServer, PC, Laptop, Handheld)
  • Mountpoint (Code, Coordinates (X, Y, Z))
  • Station (Code, Name)

My Location:

  • I have several locations where the CIs gonna be located

My Relations

  • A Location can have multiple Mountpoints
  • A GNSS Antenna is mounted on a Mountpoint, with or without a GNSS Radome
  • A GNSS Antenna/Radome mounting is only valid for a specific time window, until unmounted or changed
  • A Mountpoint can have multiple Stations
  • A GNSS Receiver is related to a Station
  • A GNSS Receiver has Firmware-Updates

Reporting

I have to generate a Report in text format which includes information per Station with the following sections:

  • Information about Location (Station -> Mountpoint -> Location)
  • Information about Mountpoint (Station -> Mountpoint)
  • History of all GNSS Antenna/Radome Mountings (Station -> Mountpoint -> GNSS Antenna/Radome mountings)
  • History of all GNSS Receivers separated by Firmware Updates (Station -> GNSS Receiver mountings, GNSS Receiver -> Firmware Updates)

Example:

To be honest I think you can receive two kinds of contribute to your post:

  1. Even if it is not so clear for me (only because i am lost between antenna,receiver, mount point stuff), it seems you have a well specified data model and all you have to do is:
    a. to play with SQL to get a view with all elemenst needed in your whished report. I mean a view with columns for each attribute of Locations,stationsmountpoints, ecc.
    b. At this point you can get the SQL needed to build such view and use to define a report to be handled by JasperReport…
  2. Get in touch with some service provider who help you in building for the first time this stuff.
