HYP10: Essbase ASO Implementation

Course Description: This course provides hands-on with practical examples and exercises to the students to build a complete ASO application and database. We teach key differences between BSO and ASO databases. How to load data and metadata into Essbase using a variety of methods, set appropriate properties and report on the stored values, the creation of new applications, loading data, reporting through Smart View, task automation through use of MaxL scripts, system administration and MDX queries, calculating and aggregating the database. Course Duration: 30 hours. Take Away: Student Guide, Lab Guide, Practice Material and sample case study. Class Delivery: On Line (Interactive Web Based)
