Dynamic Cubes Installation and Configuration

Introduction
This document is intended for use with IBM® Cognos® Dynamic Cubes. IBM Cognos Dynamic Cubes is used with IBM Cognos Analytics to provide business users and analysts with the ability to model dimensional metadata and to create dynamic cubes to use as data sources in the Content Manager.
Components and tools used by IBM Cognos Dynamic Cubes
IBM Cognos Dynamic Cubes adds a relational OLAP component to the Dynamic Query Mode server to provide a multidimensional view of a relational data warehouse. You can then perform OLAP analysis by using the Cognos Dynamic Cubes server.
Preparing to install IBM Cognos Dynamic Cubes
Before you install IBM Cognos Dynamic Cubes, some preinstallation tasks are required to set up your environment. For example, ensure that you have adequate system resources available, and that IBM Cognos Analytics (BI) software is successfully installed.
Installing and configuring IBM Cognos Dynamic Cubes
Dynamic cubes are databases optimized to provide high speed query performance over large data sets of metadata for business intelligence reporting and analysis. The dynamic cubes provide high speed query performance by implementing the following features: using targeted caching (reducing how often queries are issued to the database); aggregate tables (providing levels of aggregation at a higher level than a basic fact table); and multi-pass SQL (improving the performance of retrieving data from the database when the cache is not sufficient).
Uninstalling IBM Cognos Cube Designer
