Description

Over the past five sessions, you’ve covered everything from the concepts that drive Jedox such as OLAP and multidimensional data storage, how to create dynamic reports in both Jedox Web and the Jedox Excel Add-In, and how to create a theoretical data model and then build it. Now you’re at the point where you understand how to build your data model on a small, clean scale, which means you’re ready to dive into building your model from the bigger, messier sources you’re more likely to run into on new projects. In the final session of the Jedox Platform Basics course, you’ll get to know the section of the platform responsible for extract, transform, load (ETL) processes – the Jedox Integrator. You’ve already seen how the different sections within the Jedox platform work together with one another (such as the Integrator Server and the OLAP Server). In this lesson, you’ll learn how to create a project in the Integrator. In the following lessons, you’ll learn different, more dynamic ways to create dimensions, how to populate dimensions with elements and attributes, how to load a cube and all while using different information sources. You start with a connection, extract data from your source, transform it accordingly, load the prepared data, and depending on your needs, create a job and schedule it. Tasks can be set, for example, at regular intervals using the Scheduler. Test your understanding of Jedox’s Integrator by checking out the sample ETL projects, called Integrator Samples, available through the Jedox Marketplace to see more complex projects based on real data.
