PeopleSoft Cube Builder Overview

PeopleSoft Cube Builder is an extract-transform and load (ETL) application that enables you to use PeopleSoft Query and PeopleSoft Tree Manager to build Essbase applications and online analytical processing (OLAP) databases. It comprises an easy to use graphic user interface to create metadata of cubes based in PeopleSoft structures and to give a look and feel similar to the Essbase Outline Editor. It also uses an enhanced cube builder program that provides fast performance to load data and metadata, as well as interconnections with the Oracle Performance Manager - Smart View.

Note: The concepts and terminology used in PeopleSoft Cube Builder are the same concepts used in Oracle Performance Manager, which is the suite that contains Essbase and Smart View. For more information, see the documentation for Oracle Hyperion products.

To view outputs from PeopleSoft Pure Internet Architecture, you must have Smart View for Office installed on the client machine. Please refer to the Oracle Smart View for Office Installation Guide for details.
