Understanding Analytic Models Chapter 3

Cube Collections

A cube collect

ion is a collection of related data cubes. You create cube collections to load data from the

database into

the analytic model, save data back to the database, and display calculated data to the end user at

runtime. Some

cube collections contain data cubes that receive user input, and other cube collections calculate

data cubes and

Organizers

You can use organizers to arrange an analytic model’s parts for more convenient viewing and editing. Within

an analytic model, you can place any of the following parts in as many different organizers as you want:

• Cube collections.

•Datacubes.

• Dimensions.

• User functions.

•Organizers.

You can drag and drop parts into and between organizers, place sub-organizers into organizers, and drag and

drop organizers and sub-organizers to arrange their positions in the Organizers branch of the part browser.
