Hybrid analysis for cube scalability
DB2 OLAP Server for iSeries can access lower-level data in a relational
database in a seamless way. It improves:
Scalability of the cube
Relational drill-through
The Hybrid Analysis function in DB2 OLAP Server V8.1 has essentially extended
the online analytical processing (OLAP) Server. It has moved from a
multidimensional OLAP (MOLAP), which delivers excellent query performance to
a hybrid OLAP (HOLAP), which combines MOLAP with relational OLAP
(ROLAP). This allows the OLAP application designer create cubes based on
optimized query performance and data scalability.
DB2 OLAP Integration Server is required for data description tasks of Hybrid
Analysis.
With DB2 OLAP Server for iSeries, V8.1, parallelism is extended to help exploit
the modern hardware and to improve system performance and throughput.
Integration server improvements
DB2 OLAP Integration Server is based on Essbase Integration Services 6.5.
IBM DB2 OLAP Server Miner is a no-charge feature of DB2 OLAP Server. OLAP
Miner combines the powerful IBM data mining technologies with OLAP
technologies.
