SQL Server 2005 Profiling Services Unified Consolidated view

A unified space model

Analysis Services provide a business semantic model, known as the Unified Space Model (UDM). The model defines business entities, business logic, calculations, and metrics. UDM is a central location that acts as a unique version of all reports, spreadsheets, OLAP browsers, Kips, and analytics applications.

With the powerful new data source view feature, you can map UDM to a host of different types of data sources on the backend, providing a fully integrated business image, regardless of the location of the data. By using friendly business entity descriptions, hierarchical navigation, multiple views, and the ability to translate automatically into local languages, users will find it easy to navigate business data.

• Active buffering

Active buffering enables real-time updates to be merged through multidimensional Online analytical processing (MOLAP) classification. The analysis service maintains a highly compressed and optimized data buffer that can be automatically maintained as a potential data source for changes in data. The buffer provides excellent query performance, and the backend source system is separated from the analysis query.

High-level business intelligence

The KPI framework provides a rich central repository that defines the main metrics and scorecard. The KPI framework in the Analysis service allows you to easily build balanced scorecard and other types of business performance management applications.

Translation Translation provides a simple centralized management mechanism for saving and providing analysis data to users in the language of their preferences.

MDX Script. Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) scripting is a new mechanism for defining calculated members, named collections, and unit computations.

• Business Intelligence Wizard. A set of Easy-to-use wizards can help beginners build models for some of the more complex business intelligence issues.

• Semi-additive approach. This new method aggregation type is suitable for advanced data modeling such as the latest non-empty, last child, first child, child average, and statistical type.

Web Services

The parsed XML (XML/A) is necessary for communicating with the Analysis server, and is the basic standard protocol. Activates new types of applications and facilitates the development of applications that integrate real-time operational analysis and can be accessed through any platform and language.

• Enterprise Features

The SQL Server 2005 Analytics Service sets new standards for business intelligence servers in terms of scalability, manageability, and productivity.

• scalability. Analytical services are appropriate for applications that require a high degree of analysis and reporting. Through the new spatial structure, the use of UDM allows users to use multiple and multiple levels to quickly carry out a rich, intuitive special hoc analysis. Levels make it easier for users to navigate and query UDM through hundreds or thousands of members.

In addition, the new architecture also goes beyond the memory-resident dimension and the limit of the number of children each parent has. The XML/A protocol and the Great optimization of role-based security are matched. Through xml/a communication protocols, analytics services help UDM handle thousands of users, activating businesses that use web/or client/server architectures to expand business intelligence applications.

• Manageability. By consolidating the management tools for relational engines and Analysis Services, business intelligence administrators benefit from a separate, unified environment for managing SQL Server Analytics services. With SQL Server Management Studio, administrators can easily script the analysis of service objects and operations or people. Administrators can use rich-text editors to write MDX and Data Mining extension (DMX) queries. SQL Profiler can be used to track, capture, and reproduce analysis service queries and other commands. Multiple instances, improved backup and recovery, cross-server synchronization, and improved management licensing are some of the features of the new, available tube-rationality tool.

Productivity The Analysis Services wizards and editors integrate with Visual Studio to provide a true application development environment that can support the lifecycle of a project. Source control, form versioning, workstation separation, embedded debugging, and configuration management are some of the features of the new business Intelligence Development Studio.
