Creating data modules from OLAP cubes
Starting in Cognos® Analytics 12.0.3, after successfully establishing a connection to an OLAP data server, you can browse its cubes and use them to create data modules.
Data modules that are based on OLAP cubes can be used to create reports, dashboards, stories, and other Cognos Analytics content in the same way as packages that contain OLAP cubes are used.
Before you begin
A successful connection of type IBM Planning Analytics, IBM Planning Analytics as a Service, Microsoft Analysis Services, Microsoft Azure Analysis Services, or other supported OLAP data server connection must already be created. For more information, see Creating a data server connection.
