Setup Pivot4J Analytics to Consume SSAS Multidimensional Models

Image
Pivot4J Analytics is a recent replacement of JPivot OLAP Browser. Pivot4J Analytics can be used to consume SSAS Multidimensional Models. Setting up Pivot4J Analytics is very simple and should take less than 40 minutes. These are the steps: A. Configure HTTP access for your SSAS server Follow this TechNet article:  http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg492140.aspx B. Install Recent JDK Download recent JDK from  https://jdk8.java.net/download.html And perform default install. C. Setup Environment Variable JAVA_HOME Open File Explorer Right Click on Computer and click on properties Click on Advanced Systems Setting Click on Advanced tab Click on Environment Variables Create a new system variable Enter the Variable name as JAVA_HOME and the value to your jdk bin path (In my case it is C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0\bin) NOTE Make sure u start with  ;  in the Value so that it doesn’t corrupt the other environment variables which is alread...

How to write MDX or DMX stored procedures

Learn how to create and execute MDX (Multidimensional Expressions) and DMX (Data Mining Extensions) stored procedures in SQL Server to perform advanced data analysis and business intelligence operations. Introduction to MDX and DMX SQL Server provides rich support for data analysis through its support of MDX and DMX languages. MDX is primarily used for querying and manipulating data in multidimensional databases, typically OLAP cubes. On the other hand, DMX is used for managing and querying data mining models, making it essential for advanced analytics and predictive modeling. In this post, we’ll explore how to write stored procedures that utilize these languages within SQL Server. A stored procedure allows you to automate your queries and can be used to encapsulate MDX or DMX scripts for reusable and efficient data analysis. Creating a Basic MDX Stored Procedure MDX queries are often used for complex rep...
