Specifying Databases

On each of your OLAP servers, specify one or more databases to store your cubes. Specify a database for each group of related cubes that you plan to create. Each database stores its own cubes, cube metadata, data source specifications, and roles. Metadata that will be shared among multiple cubes should be stored within the same database.

To specify a database

  1. In the OLAP Manager tree view, under OLAP servers, right-click the server that will store the database, and then click New Database.
  2. In the Database dialog box, type a database name and description of your choice, and then click OK.
