7 Drag and Drop XMLA Metadata Objects Feature

This new feature enables administrators to drag-and-drop Physical metadata objects (cubes) into the Business Model and Mapping layer in Oracle BI Administration Tool as fully configured Logical Model Metadata (Subject area) retaining metrics, attributes and dimensions.

The Oracle BI Administration Tool now supports Drag & Drop feature for XMLA data sourced (SAP/BW and Microsoft Analysis Server). Using this capability its now possible to drag-and-drop Physical metadata objects (cubes) into the Business Model and Mapping layer as fully configured Logical Model Metadata (Subject area) retaining metrics, attributes and dimensions. This mitigates the need to manually redefine Logical dimensional models from data sources, which already contain rich dimensional metadata constructs.
