Viewing Cubes

Cube viewer

The cube viewer allows you to see the cube that you created in the same way that end-users might see it -- with the data presented in a BI Beans crosstab, as described in "Crosstabs". Moreover, you can select the data that you want to see by using the query builder.

The cube viewer uses Oracle Naming Service to locate an instance of OLAP Services.

Procedure: Viewing cubes

Follow these steps to view a cube:

1. Start Oracle Enterprise Manager and access OLAP management, as described in "Procedure: Accessing OLAP management".

2. Expand the OLAP tree so that you can see the list of cubes.

3. Right-click on the cube you want to examine, then choose Cube Viewer.

4. If you need additional information, then search for the Help topic "Viewing a Cube's Data."
