Analysis Services ! Analysis Server ! Analysis Manager ! PivotTable Service Before creating databases and cubes by using the Analysis Manager, you must understand fundamental terms applicable to Analysis Services The following are the product definitions for Analysis Services: ! Analysis Services Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Analysis Services The Microsoft OLAP and data mining product that ships with SQL Server 2000 and includes the server and client software ! Analysis Server The central component of Analysis Services Analysis Server contains an OLAP engine and a data mining engine that runs as a service under Microsoft Windows® 2000, or Microsoft Windows NT® with Service Pack or later The Analysis Server service is called MSSQLServerOLAPService ! Analysis Manager The administrative user interface for Analysis Server Analysis Manager runs under Windows 2000 and Windows NT ! PivotTable Service The client component of Analysis Services, commonly referred to as PTS PTS runs under Windows 2000, Windows NT, Microsoft Windows 98, and Microsoft Windows 95 PTS is different from Microsoft Excel PivotTables® BETA MATERIALS FOR MICROSOFT CERTIFIED TRAINER PREPARATION PURPOSES ONLY Module 2: Introducing Analysis Manager Wizards Previewing Analysis Manager Topic Objective To describe Analysis Manager and to explain all of the major interface components Lead-in Analysis Manager is the user interface for designing and administering Analysis Server databases and cubes Delivery Tips Note that more than one server may appear below the Analysis Servers folder When performing the demonstration, ensure that students log on to the Analysis Server located on their own computers Deliver these materials while performing an informal demonstration of the Analysis Manager Stress the usefulness of right-clicking In Analysis Manager, when you want to perform actions on server objects, you usually so by right-clicking the object Do not spend too much time on the data pane at this point Using the data pane for browsing data is covered more thoroughly later in the module Analysis Manager is the interface for designing and administering Analysis Server databases and cubes It is a snap-in application in Microsoft Management Console (MMC), a common interface for hosting administrative tools Analysis Manager contains various panes and menus that assist you in administering Analysis Server objects Console Tree View The tree view in the left pane of MMC, also referred to as the console tree, is the primary means for navigating Analysis Manager Each level of the tree contains folders, OLAP objects, or both The Analysis Servers folder displays a list of servers that are available to you Because only one server can run on a single computer at a time, each server displays the name of the computer running it The server name acts as a folder for OLAP databases on that server Each Analysis Server can contain one or more databases Databases can manage one or many cubes Shared components such as dimensions, roles, and data sources are also stored at the database level The following folders are found under each OLAP database folder: ! Data Sources ! Cubes ! Shared Dimensions ! Mining Models !
