In today's fast-paced world of business intelligence, Essbase developers must be able to build applications quickly and efficiently, often using a variety of data and metadata sources. Essbase professionals need a tool that consolidates cube construction activities into one single interface, with consistent performance for data loading and outline building. Essbase Studio is that tool, providing unified deployment and management of the cube factory from one interface. This course gives you the information you need to build your Essbase models quickly from many sources, giving you more time to interpret results and modify your models as required. Whether you are sourcing from a data warehouse, flat files, or an Essbase cube you have already built, you can use (and reuse) those sources for the next project--and the next one after that. In addition, we will show you features such as lineage tracking (showing you in an instant where an element change affects other applications) and drill-through (for the extra-cube details you need) to bring your Essbase modeling to the next level.
