Combining data from plural different data sources at GoodData embedded dashboards - dashboard

Is it possible to display combined data from plural different data sources at GoodData embedded dashboards? Or is it only possible to show data from same data source to embedding target system?

The GoodData embedded dashboards has the same capability in order to data and visualizations as normal "non-embedded" dashboards. All you need to do is to configure your Project to mash up multiple data sources, prepare all Dashboards with your Data and Reports and finally embed this dashboard to the destination system.
To add more functionality to your embedded dashboard you can use for example javascript events to handle different use cases and situations:

AWS QuickSight exporting data

Is it possible to export my AWS QuickSight data programmatically?
Basically I have my data in AWS QuickSight which I need to extract so I can import it into a third party application. Manually this is easy through the "export" link on QuickSight. But I was wondering if there was a way to do this automatically? Through an API / third party connector / etc?
I am familiar with QuickSight docs and I have not seen a way to export data programmatically inside QuickSight.
There might be a third party connector. Nonetheless, more than often, your QuickSight data source should be easier to access programmatically.
Unless there is a strong reason to use QuickSight export, I will access the data source directly.

How to push data from one Common Data Service to another CDS triggered by a status change of a record?

All environments are in the same tenant, same Azure Active Directory.
Need to push data from one environment's (Line of Business) Common Data Service to another environment's Common Data Service (Central Enterprise CDS) where reporting is running from.
I've looked into using OData Dataflows, however this seems like more of a manually triggered option.
OData dataflows is meant for and designed to support migration and synchronization of large datasets in Common Data Service during such scenarios:
A one-time cross-environment or cross-tenant migration is needed (for
example, geo-migration).
A developer needs to update an app that is being used in production.
Test data is needed in their development environment to easily build
out changes.
Reference: Migrate data between Common Data Service environments using the dataflows OData connector
For continuous data synchronization, use the CDS connector in Power Automate and attribute filters for source CDS record updates to target CDS entities.

BI Publisher administration API

Are there any SOAP/REST API available for BIP administration? I'm mostly interested in a possibility to define JDBC data source for reports.
Whole situation description:
For development purposes BI Publisher is run as Docker container. We have multiple environments (with separate databases), where some of them will have a BI Publisher instance. We would like to automate BI Publisher environment creation, so we need to dynamically define data source for BI Publisher reports, so that it would correspond to appropriate environment.
No for datasources. But the createReport service takes a dynamic data model.
The server settings are actually set in .config files. You could write your own external webservices to modify these config files are restart the server.

Is it possible to design custom web UI over HIVE?

I am very new to Hadoop tools. So I am asking this doubt. I am using sqoop to push data from my relational DB to HDFS. Now as a next step I want to generate some reports using this data which is stored in HDFS. I have my own custom reports format.
I am aware that using HIVE I can get data from HDFS. but is it possible that I can design my own custom reports(Web UI) over this? is there any other tools I can use?
Else, is it possible to deploy an application( containing HTML GUI and java API's) on same machine and I can access it via HTTP and can see data present in HDFS?
You can use Tableau for better experience though it is paid but is the best in market,you can even customize your graph or report using tableau.You can get trial version of tableau from their site. You can use PowerBI from Microsoft which free and works well with Big data. Ambrose is created by twitter which is also having good support(I dind't tried this one).
Check Ambrose as this is what your are looking for. You can access it via HTTP url.

Storing images in file system, amazon-s3 datastores

There has been numerous discussions related to storing images (or binary data) in the database or file system (Refer: Storing Images in DB - Yea or Nay?)
We have decided to use the file system for storing images and relevant image specific metadata in the database itself in the short term and migrate to an amazon s3 based data store in the future. Note: the data store will be used to store user pictures, photos from group meetings ...
Are there any off the shelf java based open source frameworks which provide an abstraction to handle storage and retrieval via http for the above data stores. We wouldn't want to write any code related to admin tasks like backups, purging, maintenance.
Jets3t - http://jets3t.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html
We've used this and it works like a charm for S3.
I'm not sure I understand if you are looking for a framework that will work for both file-system storage and S3, but as unique as S3 is, I'm not sure that such a thing would exist. Obviously with S3, backups and maintenance are handled for you.
