Title: Report Author: DMR model or Cube?
Post by: Cogs247 on 26 Feb 2010 06:35:08 PM
Hi,
If you are a report author, How do you know the package you are working with is a DMR(Dimensionally Modeled Relational Data) or a Cube? Is it necessary to know that or just do some reports?....etc.
thanx.

From the report author perspective, knowledge about the data source will optionally be helpful, but not mandatorily necessary. Though I do not know any means by which to know if the package is DMR or cube-based, I suppose the documentation is a good source for the same.
