Plan the architecture for Real time application

AIM:
To plan the Web Services based Real time Data Warehouse Architecture

Procedure:

A web services-based real-time data warehouse architecture enables the integration of data from
various sources in near real-time using web services as a communication mechanism. Here's an
overview of such an architecture:

Data Sources: These are the systems or applications where the raw data originates from. They
could include operational databases, external APIs, logs, etc.

Web Service Clients (WS Client): These components are responsible for extracting data changes
from the data sources using techniques such as Change Data Capture (CDC) and sending them to
the web service provider. They make use of web servicecalls to transmit data.

Web Service Provider: The web service provider receives data from the clients and processes
them for further integration into the real-time data warehouse. It decomposes the received data,
performs necessary transformations, generates SQL statements, and interacts with the data
warehouse for insertion.

This is a web service that receives data from the WS Client and adds it to the Real- Time
Partition. It decomposes the received Data Transfer Object into data and metadata. It then uses
metadata to generate SQL via an SQL-Generator to insert the data into RTDW log tables and
executes the generated SQL on the RTDW database.

Metadata: Metadata describes the structure and characteristics of the data. In this context, it's
used by the Web Service Provider to generate SQL for inserting data into RTDW log tables.In a
web services-based architecture, metadata plays a crucial role in understanding data formats,
schemas, and transformations. It is often managed centrally to ensure consistency across the
system.

ETL (Extract, Transform, Load): ETL processes are employed to collect data from various
sources, transform it into a consistent format, and load it into the data
warehouse. In a real-time context, this process may involve continuous or near real- time
transformations to ensure that data is available for analysis without significant delays.

Real-Time Partition: This is a section of the data warehouse dedicated to storing real-time or
near real-time data. It may utilize techniques such as in-memorydatabases or specialized storage
structures optimized for high-speed data ingestion and query processing. There are three stages:

 Putting the CDC data into the log table.

 Cleaning the CDC log data on demand.
 Aggregating the cleaned CDC data on demand.
Data Warehouse: The data warehouse stores both historical and real-time data. It provides a
unified repository for storing and querying data for analytical purposes. In a web services-based
architecture, the data warehouse may be accessed through APIs exposed as web services.

Real-Time Data Integration: This component facilitates the integration of real- time data into
the data warehouse. It ensures that data from various sources are combined seamlessly and made
available for analysis in real-time or near real-time.

Query Interface: Users interact with the system through a query interface, which could be a
web-based dashboard, API endpoints, or other client applications. The query interface allows
users to retrieve and analyze data stored in the data warehouse, including both historical and
real-time data.

Web Services based Real time Data Warehouse Architecture

Step 2: Decide the Grain of each Business Process

A grain is a business process at a specified level. It tells us what exactly a row, in fact, a table,
represents. All the rows in a fact table should result from the same grain. Each fact table is the
result of a different grain selected in a business process.

Step 3: Identify the Dimensions for the Dimensional Table

Before identifying the dimensions we will understand what a dimensional table is.

DimensionalTables

Some important points regarding Dimension Tables:

1. It stores textual information related to a business process.
2. It answers the ‘who, what, where, when, why, and how’ questions related to a particular
business process.
3. Dimension tables have more columns and less number of rows.
4. Each dimension table has a primary key that is joined to its given fact table.
5. Dimension attributes are the primary source of query constraints, grouping, and filtering.
Dimensions describe the measurements of the fact table. For example, customer id is a
measurement, but we can describe its attributes further, more as what is the name of the customer,
the address of the customer, gender, etc.
Our dimensional model will have the following dimensions:

Date: Case Study Using OLAP

Aim:
To evaluate the implementation and impact of OLAP technology in a real-world business
context, analyzing its effectiveness in enhancing data analysis, decision-making, and overall
operational efficiency.

Introduction:
OLAP stands for On-Line Analytical Processing. OLAP is a classification of
software technology which authorizes analysts, managers, and executives to gain insight into
information through fast, consistent, interactive access in a wide variety of possible views of
data that has been transformed from raw information to reflect the real dimensionality of the
enterprise as understood by the clients .It is used to analyze business data from different
points of view. Organizations collect and store data from multiple data sources, such as
websites, applications, smart meters, and internal systems.

Methodology
OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) methodology refers to the approach and techniques
used to design, create, and use OLAP systems for efficient multidimensional data analysis. Here
are the key components and steps involved in the OLAP methodology:

1. Requirement Analysis:
The process begins with understanding the specific analytical requirements of the
users. Analysts and stakeholders define the dimensions, measures, hierarchies, and data sources
that will be part of the OLAP system. This step is crucial to ensure that the OLAP system meets
the business needs.

2. Dimensional Modeling:
Dimension tables are designed to represent attributes like time, geography, and
product categories. Fact tables contain the numerical data (measures) and the keys to
dimension tables.

3. Star Schema:
This is a common design in OLAP systems where the fact table is at the center, connected to
dimension tables.

4. Data Extraction and Transformation:

Data is extracted from various sources, cleaned, and transformed into a format suitable for
OLAP analysis. This may involve data aggregation, cleansing, and integration.
5. Data Loading:
The prepared data is loaded into the OLAP database or cube. This step includes populating
the dimension and fact tables and creating the data cube structure.

Operations in OLAP
In OLAP (Online Analytical Processing), operations are the fundamental actions performed on
multidimensional data cubes to retrieve, analyze, and present data in a way that facilitates
decision-making and data exploration. The main operations in OLAP are:

1. Slice: Slicing involves selecting a single dimension from a multidimensional cube to

view a specific "slice" of the data. For example, you can slice the cube to view sales data for a
particular month, product category, or region.

2. Dice: Dicing is the process of selecting specific values from two or more dimensions to
create a subcube. It allows you to focus on a particular combination of attributes. For
example, you can dice the cube to view sales data for a specific product category and region
within a certain time frame.

3. Roll-up (Drill-up): Roll-up allows you to move from a more detailed level of data to a
higher-level summary. For instance, you can roll up from daily sales data to monthly or yearly
sales data, aggregating the information.

4. Drill-down (Drill-through): Drill-down is the opposite of roll-up, where you move from
a higher-level summary to a more detailed view of the data. For example, you can drill
down from yearly sales data to quarterly, monthly, and daily data, getting more granularity.

5. Pivot (Rotate): Pivoting involves changing the orientation of the cube, which means
swapping dimensions to view the data from a different perspective. This operation is useful for
exploring data in various ways.

6. Slice and Dice: Combining slicing and dicing allows you to select specific values from
different dimensions to create subcubes. This operation helps you focus on a highly specific
subset of the data.

7. Drill-across: Drill-across involves navigating between cubes that are related but have
different dimensions or hierarchies. It allows users to explore data across different OLAP cubes.

8. Data Filtering: In OLAP, you can filter data to view only specific data points or subsets
that meet certain criteria. This operation is useful for narrowing down data to what is most
relevant for analysis.

Real time example

One of the real time example of olap is Market Basket Analysis.Let us discuss in detail about
the example
Market Basket Analysis:
 A data mining technique, is typically performed using algorithms like Apriori, FP- growth,
or Eclat. These algorithms are designed to discover associations or patterns in transaction
data, such as retail sales.
 While traditional OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) is not the primary tool for market
basket analysis, it can play a supporting role. Here's how OLAP can complement market
basket analysis in more detail:
1. Data Integration:
Gather and integrate transaction data from various sources, such as point-of-sale
systems, e-commerce platforms, or other transactional databases. Clean and pre-process the
data, ensuring that it is in a format suitable for analysis.
2. Data Modeling:
Design a data model that will be used in the OLAP cube. In the context of market basket
analysis, consider the following dimensions and measures:
Dimensions:
Time (e.g., day, week, month)
Products (individual items or product categories) Customers (if you want to analyze customer
behavior)
Measures:
 The count of transactions containing specific items or itemsets.
 The count of products in each transaction.
 Any other relevant metrics, such as revenue, quantity, or profit.

3. Data Loading:
Load the integrated and preprocessed transaction data into the OLAP cube. Ensure that the
cube is regularly updated to reflect the most recent data.
4. OLAP Cube Design:
Define hierarchies and relationships within the cube to enable effective analysis. For instance,
you might have hierarchies that allow drilling down from product categories to individual
products.
5. Market Basket Analysis:
Although OLAP cubes are not designed for direct market basket analysis, they can
facilitate it in several ways:

Conclusion
OLAP is a powerful technology for businesses and organizations seeking data insights,
informed decisions, and performance improvement. It enables multidimensional data
analysis, especially in complex, data-intensive environments. It is a crucial technology for
organizations seeking to gain insights from their data and make informed decisions. It
empowers businesses to analyze data efficiently and effectively, offering a competitive
advantage in today's data-driven world.

Real World Example

In a real-world scenario, let's consider an e-commerce platform as an example of an OLTP
system. The platform processes millions of transactions every day. Here's a breakdown of how
the system functions:
Users can browse through the website, add products to their carts, and complete the checkout
process.
As a user completes the checkout process, a new transaction is created. This transaction
contains information about the products purchased, the buyer's details, the shipping address,
and other relevant data.
The system generates an invoice for the buyer and sends it via email.
The system generates transaction reports, such as daily sales summaries or sales by product
category, for internal use and management.
In this scenario, the e-commerce platform acts as an OLTP system, with its transaction
processing capabilities and the real-time updates to inventory and order details being key
components.
Here's an alternative approach using OLAP:
Aggregate sales data across all time and geographical locations, making it available for
reporting and analysis.
Allow business managers to run complex analytical queries on this data, such as calculating
average sales by product category, comparing sales trends between different regions, or
identifying top-performing sales channels.
Use OLAP tools like data warehouses and data cubes to enable fast, real-time access to
aggregated data and to simplify the process of running complex analytical queries.
By leveraging OLAP capabilities, businesses can gain insights into their sales performance,
identify trends and patterns, and make data-driven decisions. This can ultimately lead to
increased revenue, better customer service, and more efficient use of resources.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, OLTP systems play a pivotal role in modern business operations, facilitating
real-time transaction processing, data integrity, and customer interactions. These systems are
designed for high concurrency, low-latency, and consistent data access, making them
essential for day-to-day operations in various industries, such as finance, e-commerce,
healthcare, and more.
Overall, OLTP systems are the backbone of modern business operations, ensuring the
seamless execution of day-to-day transactions and delivering a positive customer experience.
