Is/has anybody used this? Any thoughts?
Anybody knows good reference materials?
I have used Cube Designer. It's just another dimensional modelling tool. It has pretty much everything you would expect when defining a cube.
Here is a link to the Dynamic Cubes User Guide:

IBM is so big it has its own vanity press.
This is the link to the IBM Cognos Dynamic Cubes Redbook.

Here is a link to DeveloperWorks, which is another place for information, with a query done for you.

Here are some videos on YouTube

I was wondering why IBM have to create this sh.... errr... thing when FM is already there.
It would have made Cognos a lot better product (and developers and users a lot happier) if they created something that converts FM Models into Dynamic Cubes
I think this was a deliberate design intent by IBM - to separate FM modeling from building a Dynamic Cube. I suspect part of the reason is that Dynamic Cubes are supported only on Star or Snowflake schemas whereas FM can model data stored in a plethora of different forms and structures.

or maybe $tar and $$nowflake
