I...Thanks chris, Roland and Amyn for your comments. I was mistaken, and I have added a paragraph to the blog post explaining the real facts.<br /><br />As you can tell, open APIs are a matter of some importance to us in the open source community, and we tend to get passionate if we think we are losing them. The lack of an official XMLA specification in recent years, combined with Microsoft's use of a closed technology for compressing XMLA requests, has served to heighten our paranoia.<br /><br />Like everyone who has expressed an opinion on this thread, I hope that XMLA will be with us for years to come.<br /><br />JulianJulian Hydehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17816795169191026372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5672165237896126100.post-81019979415620227332010-06-18T05:28:19.855-07:002010-06-18T05:28:19.855-07:00I just got back from the Microsoft BI conference a...I just got back from the Microsoft BI conference and did not hear anything about abandoning XMLA there. In fact, the world of XMLA is growing stronger. At Simba, we now have extended our MDX Provider for Oracle OLAP to support XMLA as well as ODBO. We have not yet released the Oracle XMLA Provider but we have been doing a lot of testing and it works with Microsoft Reporting Services as well as our Simba O2X driver which also allows connectivity from Excel to Mondrian.Amynhttp://www.simba.com/olap-sdk.htmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5672165237896126100.post-13301869684615874042010-06-18T04:50:20.773-07:002010-06-18T04:50:20.773-07:00I just read the page behind the MS link you posted...I just read the page behind the MS link you posted. <br /><br />Frankly I don't think this is about XML/A, only about the SOAP-support built-in the SQL Server database engine (which probably wasn't a good place for it anyway)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5672165237896126100.post-75978329508109105322010-06-18T04:42:44.623-07:002010-06-18T04:42:44.623-07:00Thanks for mentioning xma4js!

Like you say though, I expect XML/A support won't be dropped overnight by OLAP vendors though.<br /><br />If they do, I'm hoping for a new standard based on REST/JSONAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5672165237896126100.post-41416654606681806182010-06-18T01:26:28.893-07:002010-06-18T01:26:28.893-07:00Hi Julian,

XMLA is still going strong...<br /><br />ChrisUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12340513797852757307noreply@blogger.com
