Chapter 12 Understanding th e Relationship of Analytic Types to Analytic Models

Example of mapping data cubes and dimensions to the fields of the QE_ACE_EMPL1 record

When mapping dimensions and data cubes, you may want to map dimensions to the key fields in the main

record and data cubes to the non-key fields in the main record. The PeopleSoft system, however, does enable

you to map dimensions to non-key and data cubes to key fields. To perform the most appropriate mapping, you

must have a deeper understanding of the relationship between data cubes and dimensions.

Relationship of Record Attributes to Data Caching Behavior

When you create an analytic type definition, how you set the record attributes determines the caching behavior

of the data that is used in the analytic model. This section describes analytic type definition record attributes

and their effects on data caching.

Read Once

When you map a cube collection to a record that contains a Read Once attribute in the analytic type, the

application data is read only once during analytic model load time. Map cube collections to Read Once records

to load data that the user should not change during the analytic model’s life cycle. You can specify the Read

Once attribute for these record types:
