Defining Virtual Cubes in a Business Analytics Database

You may want to create a data cube that includes unrelated tables. You can set up separate cubes for the tables, and then you can combine the cubes into a virtual cube.

Before you can create virtual cubes, you must already have defined the cubes that you want to include in the virtual cube.

To Define Virtual Cubes in a Business Analytics Database:

  1. Open the BA Db. Overview window. Select the line with Virtual Cubes in the Description field, and then click Functions, New. Click Yes.

  2. Enter a name in the Name field.

  3. In the Cube Name field, click the AssistButton. A list appears of the cubes that you have defined. Select a cube that you want to include in the virtual cube.

You can include as many cubes as you want in a virtual cube.
