  • Method and apparatus for automatically creating a data warehouse and OLAP cube
    Patent number: 9684703
    Abstract: A data warehouse design that combines data from multiple source ledgers or modules is constructed and from that an associated, single physical Star or Snow-Flake schema and OLAP hyper-cube analytic structure is generated to enable cross-functional analysis of any those multiple source ledgers or modules. The step of constructing the data warehouse or the step of generating the associated OLAP cube is achieved without significant human intervention using software.

  • Method and apparatus for automatically creating a data warehouse and OLAP cube
    Publication number: 20050246357
    Abstract: A data warehouse design that combines data from multiple source ledgers or modules is constructed and from that an associated, single physical Star or Snow-Flake schema and OLAP hyper-cube analytic structure is generated to enable cross-functional analysis of any those multiple source ledgers or modules. The step of constructing the data warehouse or the step of generating the associated OLAP cube is achieved without significant human intervention using software. The present invention is based on the insight that the technical bias against generating individual data marts and OLAP cubes from multiple source ledgers is not well founded. Previously, the norm has been to generate a single physical OLAP cube for each individual ledger—hence one for the General Ledger, a further one for sales order processing etc.
