MSAS – Implementing Calculations Using MDX Part 1

In this tutorial we will be learning about Calculated members, Creating Calculated Members, Using Function Libraries to Build Calculated Members and Calculated Member Builder.Understanding Calculated members Calculated members are members of a dimension whose value is calculated at run time using Multidimensional expressions. The values of a calculated member may be derived from other member’s values. For instance Profit is determined by subtracting the value of member costs from value of member sales. This is unlike an input member whose value is directly loaded from the data base. The expressions for calculated members are defined when the member is defined. Calculated…

MSAS – Introducing Solve Order

Before understanding what is solve order it is essential to understand the concept of Pass order. Solve order and pass order together determine the manner in which a cube is resolved in Analysis services.Pass order Every cube calculated as the result of a multidimensional Expression Query goes through a number of stages of calculations. Analysis server makes a complete pass of the calculations applicable for a stage and the stage is referred to as a calculation pass. The number of passes required to compute fully all the cells of a cube are referred to as the calculation pass depth of…

MSAS – Understanding Virtual Cubes

This tutorial explains about Defining Virtual cubes, Benefits of using virtual cubes, Working with Virtual Cubes and Obtaining logical results.Defining Virtual cubes Virtual Cubes can be defined as a combination of multiple cubes into one logical cube. Virtual cubes resemble relational database views in so far as they combine other views and tables. A virtual cube is created by selecting measures and dimensions from a consolidated set of dimensions and measures underlying component cubes. End users will see the virtual cube as a single cube. Virtual cubes can also be created out a single cube with an aim to expose…

ASP .NET Migration and Interoperability

Before Asp.net invasion there were many other programming languages and technologies on which the dynamic pages were made. In this tutorial I will explain how we can migrate our classic asp application to the modern asp.net application. Most of the components that were written was in visual basic 6 which communicated with the asp application using the COM components. Using COM Objects in Asp.net The Asp.net processor understands nearly all the syntax and all the objects that ASP itself supported. Let’s see how you can create a simple ADO Connection object in either an ASP page or an ASP.NET page…

Actions used by end users to select a single cube cell and retrieve a result set from the source data of the cell are known as Drillthrough actions. Drillthrough has to be enabled if administrators want to drillthrough in a Cube Browser and the Cube Editor data tab. The DrillThrough operations are extremely useful when the user wants to look at the underlying causes for some abnormally high or low outputs in specific fields. For example, let us say a store is doing extremely well and the sales in that store is showing increase in a particular month. The Administrator…

How Bluetooth Technology works?

This is the first article on the Bluetooth Technology by Nupur Mittal.  Bluetooth is a high-speed, low-power microwave wireless link technology, designed to connect phones, laptops, PDAs and other portable equipment together with little or no work by the user. Connective convenience Unlike infra-red, Bluetooth does not require line-of-sight positioning of connected units. The technology uses modifications of existing wireless LAN techniques but is most notable for its small size and low cost. The current prototype circuits are contained on a circuit board 0.9cm square, with a much smaller single chip version in development. The cost of the device is…

MSAS – Introducing Analysis Services Security

Security of data is of paramount importance to most industries and organizations. All organizations want to restrict access to data hierarchically or define role based access. Analysis Services provides for this need. The number of Administrators and users having access to Analysis services data can be restricted by setting the role definitions in Analysis manager. End users who have access to data through client applications can be restricted in various ways. Security levels can be set for various objects within the database such as cubes, dimensions and cells. The Microsoft Windows NT or Windows 2000 Administrator role is used to…

MSAS – Securing User Authentication

The enforcement of security defined by the roles must be preceded by user authentication. When the user connects to the Analysis server, the first thing that happens is authentication. The user login is validated and the user is given access to the data on the server in accordance with the roles. If authentication is unsuccessful, he will not be able to access the data on the server. End user security can be enforced at multiple levels. The levels are as under: 1. Server level : This controls whether an end user can connect to the Analysis server with a client…

MSAS – Applying security to a Dimension

When roles are assigned for cubes the user has access or no access to the cube. When roles are assigned to a dimension, the user gains only partial access to parts of the cube. The simplest method of restricting access to a dimension is to prevent access to all levels except the top level of the dimension. In the Cube role dialog box all users were given complete access to the sales cube. Let us restrict the access of users by permitting them to see only values broken out by fiscal years. In the console tree right click the sales…

Bluetooth Vs 802.11b Wireless LANs

This article discusses about the differences between Bluetooth and 802.11b Wireless LANs, Co-existence of Bluetooth & Wi-Fi and Advantages & Disadvantages. 1) Bluetooth has lower distance range (less than 30 feet) than 802.11b (up to 200 feet). Therefore, you would need many more access points to cover the same area of an office. Simple mathematics will show that you may need as many as 20-50 times the number of access points 2) Bluetooth has generally lower speed than that of 802.11b wireless LANs. 3) Bluetooth components (chips and radios) and device adapters are cheaper than wireless LAN components and adapters. 4)…
