Example

We have a solution

  • Change management [changemanagement]

The solution contains the following lookup fields

  • Scope [TYPE]
  • Type [TASKTYPE]

It also has some decimal values

  • Estimate [ESTIMATE]
  • Realized [REALIZED]

In our reporting we want to see distributions by

  • A period hierachy: Year / Quarter / Month
  • Categorieres by Scope, Type and Status

Setting up the cube

A new OLAP cube is set up in: "Integration" > "OLAP cubes" > "Add"


Basic information

  • Name / display: sample1
  • Cube header: Report sample1

Cube definition ("Cube Schema XML")

For further help to designing schemas please refer to the following ressources

 <Cube name="sample1cube">
<Dimension name="Scope" foreignKey="TASKTYPE"> <Hierarchy hasAll="true" primaryKey="LookupID">
<Level name="Type" column="Value" uniqueMembers="true"/> </Hierarchy> </Dimension> <Dimension name="Type" foreignKey="TYPE"> <Hierarchy hasAll="true" primaryKey="LookupID">

MDX query ("Cube Query MDX")

For further help to designing queries please refer to the following ressources

 select
   NON EMPTY {([Measures].[Estimate],[Measures].[Realized])} ON COLUMNS,
   NON EMPTY {([Period],[Type],[Status])} ON ROWS
 from [sample1cube]

Results

The cube is acccesed via this URL (or press "test" form the OLAP overview) http://YOUR_DOMAIN/TempusServa/olapview.jsp?query=sample1
