OLAP Cubes
Before you can analyze data, you need to build the OLAP cubes. This creates the necessary structure in the cubes database so your data can be loaded and processed for analysis. After building, you’ll load data into the cubes and can set up scheduling to keep your data up to date automatically.
Build and load from the OLAP Manager
Build the OLAP cubes

- Select OLAP Manager.
- In the Options panel on the right, click the Manage icon.
- In the Cubes list, select only the template cubes you want to build.
Template cubes are typically named according the template name. - In the Manage panel, make sure Build is selected from the Actions dropdown list.
