What is Essbase? It is a multidimensional database that enables Business Users to analyze Business data in multiple views/prospective and at different consolidation levels. It stores the data in a multi dimensional array. Minute->Day->Week->Month->Qtr->Year Product Line->Product Family->Product Cat->Product sub Cat

Multidimensional Viewing and Analysis Sales Slice of the Database

Online Analysis Processing(OLAP) It enables analysts, managers and executives to gain insight into data through fast, consistent, interactive access to a wide variety of possible views of information that has been transformed from raw data to reflect the real dimensionality of the enterprise as understood by the user. Data Warehouse Time Product Region

Overview of OLAP OLAP can be defined as a technology which allows the users to view the aggregate data across measurements (like Maturity Amount, Interest Rate etc.) along with a set of related parameters called dimensions (like Product, Organization, Customer, etc.) Relational OLAP (ROLAP) Relational and Specialized Relational DBMS to store and manage warehouse data OLAP middleware to support missing pieces Optimize for each DBMS backend Aggregation Navigation Logic Additional tools and services Example: Micro strategy, MetaCube (Informix) Multidimensional OLAP (MOLAP) Array-based storage structures Direct access to array data structures Example: Essbase (Arbor), Accumate (Kenan) Domain-specific enrichment

Implementation Techniques OLAP HOLAP MOLAP ROLAP Relational OLAP Multidimensional OLAP Hybrid OLAP MOLAP - Multidimensional OLAP Multidimensional Databases for database ROLAP - Relational OLAP Access Data stored in relational Data Warehouse for OLAP Analysis HOLAP - Hybrid OLAP OLAP Server routes queries first to MDDB, then to RDBMS and result processed on-the-fly in Server

Key Features of OLAP applications Multidimensional views of data Calculation-intensive capabilities Time intelligence **Key to OLAP systems are multidimensional databases. Multidimensional databases not only consolidate and calculate data; they also provide retrieval and calculation of a variety of data subsets. A multidimensional database supports multiple views of data sets for users who need to analyze the relationships between data categories Ex: Did this product sell better in particular regions? Are there regional trends? Did customers return Product A last year? Were the returns due to product defects?

What is Multidimensional Analysis

Multidimensional Analysis A multidimensional database supports multiple views of data sets for users who need to analyze the relationships between data categories. For example, a marketing analyst might want answers to the following questions: How did Product A sell last month? How does this figure compare to sales in the same month over the last five years? How did the product sell by branch, region, and territory? Did this product sell better in particular regions? Are there regional trends? Multidimensional databases consolidate and calculate data to provide different views. Only the database outline, the structure that defines all elements of the database, limits the number of views. With a multidimensional database, users can pivot the data to see information from a different viewpoint, drill down to find more detailed information, or drill up to see an overview.

Multidimensional Analysis Analysis of data from multiple perspectives. Jan Gross Sales For all the products and all customers in the current year. This will give the details that which customer bought the most sales and which product sold least in a month and year Sales Report By Month All Products Customer Product Month Jan Feb Mar Gross Sales 2,358,610 2,345,890 58,860 Discount 116,616 138,856 20,567 Net Sales 2,477,428 2,566,526 89,196 Product Report By Month Gross Sales Customer Product Month Jan Feb Mar Performance 1,597,560 1,697,890 775,600 Values 116,616 138,856 20,567 All Products 2,358,610 2,566,526 89,196 Variance Report By Channel All Products Gross Sales Jan Gross Sales Current Year Budget Act Vs Bud Performance 775,600 1,697,890 224,160 Values 116,616 1,651,006 20,567 All Products 2,358,610 2,566,526 89,196

OLAP Operations Drill Up Time Region Product Category e.g Electrical Appliance Sub Category e.g Kitchen Product e.g Toaster

OLAP Operations Pivot Time Region Product Region Time Product

Operations In multidimensional Analysis Aggregation ( roll-up ) dimension reduction: e.g., total sales by city summarization over aggregate hierarchy: e.g., total sales by city and year -> total sales by region and by year Selection ( slice ) defines a sub cube e.g., sales where city = Palo Alto and date = 1/15/96 Navigation to detailed data ( drill-down ) e.g., (sales - expense) by city, top 3% of cities by average income Visualization Operations (e.g., Pivot)

Database is a set of facts (points) in a multidimensional space A fact has a measure dimension quantity that is analyzed, e.g., sale, budget, Operating Exp, A set of dimensions on which data is analyzed e.g. , store, product, date associated with a sale amount Dimensions form a sparsely populated coordinate system Each dimension has a set of attributes e.g., owner city and county of store Attributes of a dimension may be related by partial order Hierarchy : e.g., street > county >city Lattice : e.g., date> month>year, date>week>year Multidimensional Data Model

Uses a cube metaphor to describe data storage. An Essbase database is considered a “cube”, with each cube axis representing a different dimension , or slice of the data (accounts, time, products, etc.) All possible data intersections are available to the user at a click of the mouse.

Multidimensional Viewing and Analysis Consider the three dimensions in a databases as Accounts, Time, and Scenario where Accounts has 4 members, Time has 4 members and Scenario has two members. Three-Dimensional Database

Multidimensional Viewing and Analysis The shaded cells is called a slice illustrate that, when you refer to Sales, you are referring to the portion of the database containing eight Sales values. Sales Slice of the Database

Multidimensional Viewing and Analysis Actual, Sales Slice of the Database When you refer to Actual Sales, you are referring to the four Sales values where Actual and Sales intersect as shown by the shaded area.

Multidimensional Viewing and Analysis Data value is stored in a single cell in the database. To refer to a specific data value in a multidimensional database, you specify its member on each dimension. The cell containing the data value for Sales, Jan, Actual is shaded. The data value can also be expressed using the cross-dimensional operator (->) as Sales -> Actual -> Jan. Sales -> Jan -> Actual Slice of the Database

Multidimensional Viewing and Analysis Data for January Data for February Data for Profit Margin Data from Different Perspective

Multi-dimensional database are usually queried top-down – the user starts at the top and drills into dimensions of interest. - Can perform poorly for transactional queries Relational databases are usually queried bottom-up – the user selects the desired low level data and aggregates. - Harder to visualize data; can perform poorly for high-level queries Multi-Dimensional vs. Relational Total Products P01 P02 P03 P01 P02 P03 Total Products

OLAP Vs RDBMS In RDBMS, we have: DB -> Table -> Columns -> Rows In OLAP, we have: CUBES
