Building a Cube with the Wizard

To quickly and easily build a cube, use the Cube wizard.

To start the Cube wizard

  1. In the OLAP Manager tree view, expand a database.
  2. Right-click the Cubes folder, point to New Cube, and then click Wizard.

After you complete the wizard, the Cube editor appears so that you can further refine your cube.

After you build your cube, you must also process it before you and users can view its data. Depending on the size of your cube, processing can take considerable time. For more information, see Processing Cubes Using the OLAP Manager.

Note Newly processed cubes are visible to client users only after they reconnect to the server computer.
