OLAP Tutorial Overview

Begin this tutorial by creating a project in WebFOCUS Developer Studio called OLAP. WebFOCUS OLAP reports require hierarchical data structures, so this tutorial includes an exercise that demonstrates how to use the new Dimensions Tool to create a local hierarchy. Next, you will create a report with OLAP capabilities. After you OLAP-enable your report and run it, you can experiment with these features, among many others:

This tutorial also demonstrates how to use the OLAP selections panel to quickly customize your report and sort and drill down on data. It shows you how to use the OLAP Control Panel to manipulate report data and perform certain tasks that are not available either directly in the OLAP-enabled report or from the OLAP selections panel.

For details about OLAP, see the Creating Reporting Applications With Developer Studio manual.

Note: OLAP is not supported with CGI or ISAPI and IWA security.
