MultiCube

Use

The concept of the MultiCube has been added. A MultiCube is a higher-level InfoCube that gathers together data from several BasicCubes or RemoteCubes and sets it in a single common context. The MultiCube itself does not contain any data. Its data comes exclusively from the BasicCube on which it is based.

A MultiCube allows reporting using several BasicCubes or RemoteCubes. A MultiCube usually consists of several BasicCubes.

Example

You have a BasicCube with actual data for a logically contained business management area and a corresponding BasicCube with plan data. You can combine the two BasicCubes into one MultiCube to enable you to compare actual data and plan data in a query.

MultiCubes only exist as a definition. Data remains stored in the BasicCubes. A query carried out using a MultiCube is divided using the relevant BasicCubes into several queries that can be processed in parallel. This gives an added performance advantage.
