In addition, that database must include data that has been prepared as a data wardhouse and supplied with metadata using the OLAP management feature in Oracle Enterprise Manager.
For information on setting up the OLAP API client files, see Appendix A of this document. For information on installing Oracle with OLAP Services, see Oracle 9i Installation Guide. For information on data warehouse and metadata requirements, see Oracle9i OLAP Services Concepts and Administration Guide.
