Title: Expert Cube Development with Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services : Design and Implement Fast, Scalable and Maintainable Cubes with Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services with This Book and EBook
Description: Design and implement fast, scalable and maintainable cubesKey FeaturesA real-world guide to designing cubes with Analysis Services 2008Model dimensions and measure groups in BI Development StudioImplement security, drill-through, and MDX calculationsLearn how to deploy, monitor, and performance-tune your cubeFilled with best practices and useful hints and tipsBook DescriptionMicrosoft's SQL Server Analysis Services 2008 is an OLAP server that allows users to analyze business data quickly and easily. However, designing cubes in Analysis Services can be a complex task: it's all too easy to make mistakes early on in development that lead to serious problems when the cube is in production. Learning the best practices for cube design before you start your project will help you avoid these problems and ensure that your project is a success. This book offers practical advice on how to go about designing and building fast, scalable, and maintainable cubes that will meet your users'requirements and help make your Business Intelligence project a success. This book gives readers insight into the best practices for designing and building Microsoft Analysis Services 2008 cubes. It also provides details about server architecture, performance tuning, security, and administration of an Analysis Services solution. In this book, you will learn how to design and implement Analysis Services cubes. Starting from designing a data mart for Analysis Services, through the creation of dimensions and measure groups, to putting the cube into production, we'll explore the whole of the development lifecycle. This book is an invaluable guide for anyone who is planning to use Microsoft Analysis Services 2008 in a Business Intelligence project.What you will learnBuild a data mart suitable for use with Analysis ServicesCreate and configure an Analysis Services project in Business Intelligence Development StudioUse the Dimension Wizard and the Dimension Editor to build dimensionsCreate measure groups and associate them with dimensionsAdd calculations to the cube, including implementing currency conversion and a date tool dimensionExplore the security model, including dimension security and cell security, and implement dynamic securityTune queries to get the best possible performanceAutomate processing and partition creationMonitor your cube to see who s actually using itWho this book is forThis book is aimed at Analysis Services developers who already have some experience but who want to go into more detail on advanced topics, and who want to learn best practices for cube design.
