Repository: it is setup by the general supervisor who stores it centrally on a database. It enables users to share the resources of bo product. Repository is #ade2up of ) do#ains. a. %ecurity do#ain: to store the infor#ation about user and group profiles. b. 3niverse do#ain: it holds the entire universe that you export fro# designer. c. &ocu#ent do#ain: holds all exported docu#ents fro# the bo reporting #odule! te#plates! scripts and list of values. 4. User profiles: 4eneral supervisor: all products and full access on repository. %upervisor: all products except designer and list of values. &esigner: all products except supervisor. %upervisor and designer: all products but not full access on repository. 3ser: only on bo. 5ersatile: as configured by the supervisor. 5. Repository architecture. 6onolithic: the whole repository ) do#ains$ sits on a single database.

&istributed. 7 single security do#ain keeps track of #ultiple docu#ents and universe do#ain that are distributed around the organi8ation database syste#. 6. Universe is a se#antic layer between user #odule and a database. It consists of classes and objects. 7. eta!ata layer 9 universe! classes and objects.

". #lass: is a logical grouping of objects inside a universe. Ex: region! custo#er! sales! #easures. $. %&'ects: an object in the universe #ap to data in the database. :or the purpose of #ultidi#ensional analysis! object can be ;ualified as one of the ) types. &i#ension object: retrieves character type data. <ike custo#er na#e! years! ;uarter! project na#e. &etail object: is always associated to one di#ension object! on which it provides additional infor#ation. Ex: address is a detail object that is associated with custo#er. 6easure object retrieves nu#erical data that is the results of calculation on data in the database! value that return depend on the object. =u#erical infor#ation by which a di#ension object can be #easured.

1(. )cope of analysis: it deter#ines how far analysts will be able to drill through a default hierarchy fro# the base object in the ;uery. In designer we create lov fro# the objects. Class hierarchy. List of values: data corresponding the value useful fro# di#ension details you selected will appear in the report. <>5 will be available for filtering the data when we go for reporting. 11. *ata a. anager: you can view the report of the ;uery and refresh a ;uery.

12. *ata provi!ers ways of accessing the data. *uerying building a ;uery on a universe is the #ost co##on way of accessing data in ?>. b. %tored procedure: is a %*< script saved and executed on your &?. c. :ree hand %*<: you can create a data providers by opening or writing a %*< script. d. @ersonal datafiles: you can retrieve a data fro# excel! lotus'()! dbase! 7%CII files. e. ><7@ %erver: you can view the contents of an ><7@ %ER5ER and select the data you want to display in your report. ><7@ %ervers are databases that store su##ari8ed data! ready for business analysis. 13. ulti!i+ensional analysis: 7 techni;ue for looking at data fro# diff. 5iewpoints and on different level of detail. It involves slice and dice and drill. '+. &esigner supports 4 types of 'oins. E;ui join 9 sa#e colu#n is present in both tables. Aheta join: link tables based on a relationship other than ;uality between ( colu#ns. >uter join: links ( tables! one of which has rows that do not #atch those in the co##on colu#ns of the other table. d. %hortcut join: can be used in sche#as containing redundant join paths leading to the sa#e results! regardless of direction. a. b. c. ',. %nline,offline +o!es: are options that apply when you are working in enterprise #ode! which #eans an environ#ent with the repository. >nline #ode: is appropriate for a network environ#ent in which the general supervisor has setup a repository you can i#port and export universes. >ffline #ode: not in network where you work with universes that are stored locally on your co#puter. Ao use this #ode you #ust have been connected atleast once in online #ode. Es: used with a laptop co#puter or whenever your network goes down. 16. -nterprise +o!e: you are working connected to a repository and can access docu#ents save in repository. 17./or0group +o!e: you do not have access to a repository and can access docu#ents saved in workgroup #ode only. 1". eta!ata: a #etadata repository is a database that describes various aspects of the data in the &ataBarehouse. 7d#inistrative and end user #etadata. 1$, surrogate 0ey: for each di#ension record in order to avoid a dependency on legacy defined keys where the surrogate key generating process enforces referential integrity between the di#ension tables and the fact tables. 2(. 1% *ocu+ents can contain one or #ore reports. Ahe data displayed in the report in one docu#ent can co#e fro# different sources excel or oracle$C but you cannot transfer data between reports.

21 pivoting techni2ue that enables you to switch the position of the data in a report. 22. 3ierarchies enable you to drill fro# one level of data to the next. Ex: geography: country! state! district! city. @roduct: category! type! vendor! and brand. 23. )lice an! !ice. Ao change the order of the fields! to display as #aster and detail relations. 24. *rilling #ost general level data to #ost detail data. 25. 4!!itive when you consider the possible su##ari8ation that will occur on the fact table. 26. )e+ia!!itive: can be added along only the sa#e of the di#ension. 27. 5on a!!itive #easure can"t be added to all. Be can force to use counts. Ex: e#ployee id. 2". 4ggregate a/areness: is a feature of designer that #akes use of aggregate tables in a database. Ahese tables that contain pre calculated data used to speedup the execution of ;ueries. 2$. #ar!inality: expresses the #ini#u# and #axi#u# nu#ber of instances of an entity. 3(. *egenerate! !i+ensions: which is neither a #easure nor a foreign key. &i#ension keys with no corresponding di#ension table. Ahis di#ension will be stored in the fact table. Ex. It can be used to calculate how #any ti#es the ship#ents have been past due or oneti#e. Ahere is no another di#ension for the ship#ent2re;uired date. 31. #onfir+e! !i+ensions. &i#ensions that #eans the sa#e di#ension can be used with every possible fact table that it can be joined with. Ex. >ne di#ension is joined with two facts. 32. )lo/ly changing !i+ensions. Bhere the production syste# has not changed the #aster key but has changed the description of the product. 33. 6arehouse 0ey: to di#ension and fact tables in D sche#a is to allow infor#ation to co#e fro# #ultiple sources with #ini#al changes to the data #ode. 34 loop. 7 loop leads to #ultiple paths of accessing the data. <oop need to resolved before the reports are generated. 7liases or context will resolve <oop. 35. #onte7t: It is used for segregation of fact. It is a ;uery feature that enables you to select a path re;uired retrieving data! when there is #ore than one possible path. Create a context for each fact table. 36. 4lias: It is used for segregation of di#ension or hierarchies. It is a logical pointer to an alternate table na#e. Ahe purpose of an alias is to resolve loops in the paths of joins. 37. 4lerts when data reaches to a specific target it shows the #essage or alert on the screen. Condition: sales are E ,111 give alert colu#n red Ex. '00,! it displays '00+ data reports only. 3". 8ilter: if you want to view the data related to '00,! you filter on the year '00,. Ahe report displays that period data only. 3$. Ran0: it retrieves the rank nu#ber for each di#ension value based on the #easure.

Awo types of strategies. a. ?uilt in strategy: for creating the co#ponents of universe. 3niverse para#eters: i. >bject creation strategy.

It is the safest type of connection for protecting access to data. %hared connection: is used to access co##on resources such as universe or docu#ents. It is useful if you need to setup a testing environ#ent for universes before distributing the# to the entire user co##unity. @ersonal connection: is specific to one user and can be used only fro# the co#puter on which it was created. 52. *i+ensional +o!eling: a typical di#ensional #odel is the D join sche#a! with one large central table in the center of the sche#a it is only the table in the center of the sche#a. It is only table in the sche#a with #ultiple joins connecting it to other tables. Ahe other tables all have only a single join attaching the# to the central table. 53.
