Build AWM Compat Layer



Building the AWM Compatibility Layer


The AWM Compatibility Layer tool automatically builds Relational Views and Tables based on your FinanceHub multi-dimensional model.  The relational model can then be used to easily access multi-dimensional information from native SQL tools such as SQL Developer, Toad, or more advanced reporting applications like Oracle BI Enterprise Edition (OBIEE).  


The compatibility layer initially creates a View of each multi-dimensional object and then snapshots that view into a table.  This means you are able to use the MOOAWM Analytic Workspace to build formula variables within AWM based on star schema structural information sourced from the compatibility layer.  

 

Note:  Do not attempt to build AWM structural data based on the views themselves as this will cause erroneous errors as the OLAP engine attempts to retrieve data from FinanceHub server whilst building structures in another OLAP AW in the same session.


The below image shows the Build AWM Compatibility control.




The tool consists of the following controls and panes:
