You can create applications that interact with and enhance the Microsoft® SQL Server™ OLAP Services user interface. The OLAP Manager can call various routines in your application in response to user activity in the user interface. Your add-in program can add nodes to the structure in the tree view as the user selects or expands a node; it can also augment node menus with items that cause your program to be called when those items are selected. Multiple custom add-in programs can be registered and operating at the same time.
The OLAP Manager’s user interface is implemented as an add-in program and is called by the OLAP Add-In Manager in the same way that your custom add-in program will be called. You must create and register your add-in program as detailed in Add-in Programs.
Your add-in program can use other OLAP Services component tools to enhance, augment, and automate your OLAP installation.
