Overview

DB2 OLAP Server™ V8.1, based on Hyperion Essbase 6.5, incorporates significant improvements in the areas of scalability, performance, ease of use and administration over the previous release, DB2^® OLAP Server V7.1. Refer to Software Announcement 200-086 , dated April 18, 2000.

Hybrid Analysis for Cube Scalability: A logical cube can now be defined to have a lower portion of the cube reside in the relational database. The OLAP Server will retrieve the "cells" from the relational database as if they physically reside on the cube storage. Hybrid Analysis eliminates the need to load and store members and their data with the physical cube itself combining the efficiency of mass data scalability with the sophisticated data analysis and rapid reporting of OLAP Server.

Improved Parallelism for Performance and Throughput: Many of the critical operations can now be run in multithreaded mode, enabling you to take advantage of the improved hardware and gain system performance and throughput.

Calculation — The OLAP engine can break down a calculation pass into subtasks that can be run on separate CPUs simultaneously.
Data Load — You can specify the number of processing threads for data load processing. These threads can be allocated across processors on different CPUs.
Export — You can now export OLAP server databases on multiple threads.

Administration Improvements: The Administration Services is the new framework for managing and maintaining multiple OLAP Servers. It features a GUI that provides a single point of access for viewing, managing, and maintaining OLAP Servers and the Administration Server.

Integration Server Improvements: The Integration Server Console is used to define the data in the relational database and map to hierarchies in the OLAP cube. The OLAP Metadata Catalog in the Integration Server is used by the OLAP Server to access the relational database. Multiple data source connection, formulas verification, native drivers, and other enhancements are added to this release.

High Availability via Enterprise Services: Enterprise Services allows multiple instances of the OLAP Server to run on multiple machines, while serving the user as one logical unit and removing any single point of failure.

Analyzer Improvements: Analyzer enables users to analyze sophisticated multidimensional and relational data in an easy-to-use graphical interface. Analysis reports can be distributed internally and externally, saved as HTML Web content, and referenced by Web sites.

OLAP Miner for Deviation Discovery: OLAP Miner combines the powerful IBM data mining technologies with OLAP technologies. It empowers your users to discover anomalies and special segments from the wealth of data analyzed today. OLAP Miner makes it possible to discover notable fluctuations in sales numbers, budgets, or other data in a customer's business.

Description

What's New in DB2 OLAP Server V8.1

The DB2 OLAP Server V8.1 program is based on Hyperion Essbase 6.5. DB2 OLAP Server V8.1 also integrates a number of enhancements from Hyperion Essbase 6.2 and 6.1, which are available to DB2 OLAP Server V7.1 customers via fixpaks. In addition, the OLAP Miner feature is included in DB2 OLAP Server V8.1. This section describes these major enhancements available in DB2 OLAP Server V8.1.

Hybrid Analysis for Cube Scalability: The administrator can now define a multidimensional cube where the lower level members can reside on a relational database and the higher level members reside on the multidimensional store. The OLAP Server will access the relational source, prepare the cells and return to the calling application as if data natively resides on the multidimensional store.

The OLAP Server thus can access lower level data in relational database in a seamless way. It:

Improves scalability of the cube — only a smaller physical cube needs to be loaded and precalculated in Essbase while the lower, more detailed levels of data can be accessed dynamically at execution time.
Improves relational drill through — previously the calling application had to handle the preparation for relational drill through — a rather complex task to set up. Now the relational drill through is handled transparently by the OLAP Server for all applications.

The Hybrid Analysis function in DB2 OLAP Server V8.1 essentially has extended the OLAP Server:

From a Multidimensional OLAP (MOLAP), which delivers excellent query performance
To a Hybrid OLAP (HOLAP), which combines MOLAP with Relational OLAP (ROLAP), to let 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.

Parallelism to Improve Performance and Throughput: Previously the Essbase kernel operated in single-threaded mode and performed tasks serially. With DB2 OLAP Server V8.1, parallelism is extended to help exploit the modern hardware and to improve system performance and throughput.

If you enable parallel calculation , Essbase analyzes all the tasks in a calculation pass and breaks them down into subtasks. The subtasks that can be run independently of each other are scheduled to run simultaneously on up to four threads, each on a separate CPU.
You can specify the number of processing threads to be used in parallel data load processing. These threads can be allocated across processors on multiple CPUs for performance advantages.
Parallel export is supported. The new PAREXPORT command enables administrators to export Essbase databases natively on multiple threads.

Administration Improvements: Essbase Administration Services is the new framework for managing and maintaining OLAP Servers. The Administration Services consists of a client console and a middle-tier server that communicate directly with OLAP Servers. Note that the Administration Services, which is based on Essbase Administration Services, will not be available until August 23, 2002.

The Administration Services console is the GUI that provides a single point of access for viewing, managing, and maintaining OLAP Servers and the Administration Server. The console incorporates much of the functionality of the Application Manager and other administration tools, such as MaxL.

The Administration Services offers new features not available in the Application Manager:

You can migrate applications and databases from one server to another, regardless of platform.
You can migrate users and groups from one server to another.
You can change a user's password and propagate the new password to other OLAP Servers.
You can sign on to Administration Services, which handles your connection to OLAP Servers, applications, and databases.
Using the Log Analyzer, you can filter, search, and Analyze OLAP Server logs and application logs.
A new MaxL Script Editor is integrated with the Administrative Services Console.
You can execute calculations in the background while performing other online tasks with the Console.
The Administration Services are based on Java and can run on multiple platforms.
You can print the contents of many windows in the console.
You can gain a graphical view of Essbase objects.

Integration Server Improvements: DB2 OLAP Integration Server is based on Essbase Integration Services 6.5.

Hybrid Analysis — The Integration Server Console is used to define the data in the relational database and map to hierarchies in the OLAP cube. The OLAP Metadata Catalog in the Integration Server is used by the OLAP Server to access the relational database.
Multiple data source connectivity — You can now connect data from different data sources, providing considerable flexibility in creating OLAP models with data from multiple data sources.
Verification of formulas — You can rapidly verify and edit static formulas before using them in Essbase, saving significant time from encountering such errors during member and data loads.
Automatic migration to current release — scripts are automatically run to migrate you from a previous release of the Integration Server to the current release.
Native driver support — In addition to the Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) drivers already supported, the Oracle native driver can also be used. Additional native drivers will be added in the future.
Automatic configuration settings — for command line parameters in a configuration file is supported.

High Availability via Enterprise Services: DB2 OLAP Server Enterprise Services, which is based on Hyperion's Essbase Enterprise Services 6.5, will be available in the DB2 OLAP Server V8.1 July 2002, refresh release.

Enterprise Services is a middle-tier framework that extends the power of Essbase by creating a Web-enabled, distributed platform for Essbase applications. Enterprise Services introduces a new, native Java interface to Essbase, which supports the communication infrastructure for Essbase administration, metadata delivery, and more. Enterprise Services acts as a broker for client program requests to Essbase servers. New services such as connection pooling, clustering, and failover support extend the scalability and reliability of the platform to serve the analysis needs of large numbers of users in Web-based environments.

A new priced feature, High Concurrency Option, is required for cube clustering that is needed for load balancing and failover capabilities.

Analyzer Improvements: DB2 OLAP Analyzer Analysis Server V8.1 is based on Hyperion Analyzer 6.0. Analyzer enables users to analyze sophisticated multidimensional and relational data in an easy-to-use GUI. Analysis reports can be distributed internally and externally, saved as HTML Web content, and referenced by Web sites. DB2 OLAP Analyzer Analysis Server V8.1 has been re-architected to run inside leading J2EE-compliant application servers.

The Analyzer's powerful analysis functionality is now available on the Web, using 100% Java-based Analyzer Java Web client. The Web client now includes design features previously offered separately.
The Analyzer Administration Tool has been re-architected to a 100% Java application as well. This enables administrators to manage users, user groups, and database connections anywhere they can access the Internet.
There is also a 100% HTML thin client for the Analyzer HTML Web Client.
Analyzer now has a new GUI making it even easier to use.
The Analyzer repository has been standardized to a more flexible XML storage format.
Analyzer now ships DB2 Personal Edition V7.2 as a default relational repository.
Analyzer now ships WebSphere^® Standard Edition V3.5 as a default Application Server.
The Windows Client will continue to be available but will not be required for the Web environment.

OLAP Miner for Deviation Discovery: 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.

OLAP Miner enables you to examine your OLAP cubes (multidimensional databases) more thoroughly and easily by finding atypical or deviant values automatically. Instead of searching through your data manually to find data values that might be higher or lower than you expected, OLAP Miner can do this work for you. The OLAP Miner algorithm is optimized so that it can be deployed on large OLAP cubes.

You can search specific areas (subcubes) of your cubes by creating deviation detection definitions, which specify the way in which OLAP Miner examines the data that you selected for the subcube. OLAP Miner gives you an easy-to-use wizard that helps you create deviation detection definitions. After you create a deviation detection definition, OLAP Miner applies a deviation detection algorithm to the data to find deviations. After the mining run is finished, you can view a simple list of deviations or view the deviations in the Deviation Viewer. From the Deviation Viewer, you can see the deviations in the context of other surrounding values.

You can also view deviations in a standard spreadsheet application. If you have the DB2 OLAP Server spreadsheet add-in, you can use all of the features of that product to view or report deviations.

Other Improvements: There are numerous other improvements in DB2 OLAP Server V8.1 that are described in product documentation. A few are listed below:

Calculations can be simulated to help you select dense and sparse settings for the dimensions in your outline.
Substitution variables can now be used in SQL Interface.
Back level clients (from DB2 OLAP Server V7.1 fixpak 8 on) can access the V8.1 OLAP Server.
Messages in the server log dealing with user logins and security changes now include additional details for auditability.
You can now build an outline from a data source without having to manually add at least one member first.

Relational Storage Manager: With the introduction of Hybrid Analysis, which provides a better approach to integrate relational data with OLAP data, the Relational Storage Manager option will no longer be available in DB2 OLAP Server V8.1. Current customers who have cubes in Relational Storage Manager should migrate to Multidimensional Storage Manager before installing V8.1 using instructions in existing documentation. Once the V8.1 is installed, these cubes will no longer be accessible from the DB2 OLAP Server. However, you can still copy the outline and load and recalc the cube from the original source into a Multidimensional Storage Manager.

Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act

DB2 OLAP Server V8.1 is capable as of May 17, 2002, when used in accordance with IBM's associated documentation, of satisfying the applicable requirements of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, provided that any assistive technology used with the product properly interoperates with it.

Product Positioning

DB2 OLAP Server is complementary to a number of IBM and non-IBM products, including:

Essbase-Ready ISV Products: Many ISV desktop tools and applications use the Hyperion Essbase API to access multidimensional data. As the same API is transparently supported by DB2 OLAP Server, these ISV tools can now seamlessly expand their products to the relational marketplace.
DB2 Data Warehouse Center and DB2 Warehouse Manager: These warehouse management facilities in DB2 Universal Database V7.2 give you an integrated, managed environment to transform, create, and maintain data marts and data warehouses. It can automate the loading, updating, and recalculating of the star schema tables and multidimensional cubes in the DB2 OLAP Server from a variety of data sources.
Hyperion WIRED for OLAP: Hyperion WIRED for OLAP is an OLAP-centric presentation, analysis, and reporting tool suite that provides collaborative analytics, enterprise-wide deployability, and ease of use. It leverages the performance, scalability, and analytical power of DB2 OLAP Server, giving users point-and-click access to advanced features. It is enterprise-class, with a scalable three-tier architecture and a suite of four interoperable Windows and 100% Pure Java clients that allow organizations to deliver information to large user communities at a low cost of ownership.
DB2 Intelligent Miner™ for Data: DB2 Intelligent Miner helps companies identify and extract high-value business intelligence from data assets. Through a process of "knowledge discovery," organizations can leverage hidden information in its data, uncovering associations, patterns, and trends that can lead to real competitive advantages.
Customers can benefit from using DB2 Intelligent Miner for Data and DB2 OLAP server in the same solution.
- Data mining can be used to enrich the information content available to an OLAP user and strengthen the analysis capabilities of those users. For example, market segmentation can be represented as a dimension of the cube, and the clustering algorithm used to discover that segmentation can shed light on significant attributes to be considered as additional dimensions. Once a predictive model produced by Intelligent Miner is used to score individual customers or prospects, those scores can be used to determine the clip level for the data to be included in a cube and appear as a dimension of the cube.
- Data mining and business analysts alike can leverage the analytic capabilities of OLAP to better understand and analyze mining results.
- As data mining results are integrated into the warehouse and OLAP cubes, a consistent business perspective is presented to a broader range of BI users.
