Creating a Data Mart

When you create a Data Mart in a Work Area, you are actually creating an instance of a Data Mart definition.

To create a new Data Mart instance:

1. In a Work Area, select Data Mart from the Add drop-down list.
2. Click Go.

   The system displays the Create Data Mart screen.

3. Choose one of the following options:

   • Create a new Data Mart definition and instance. Choose this option if no Data Mart definition exists that can meet your needs, either as it is or with some modification.

   • Create an instance from an existing Data Mart definition. Choose this option if a Data Mart definition already exists that meets your needs.

     If you can adapt an existing Data Mart definition to make it fit your needs, first copy it into the current Application Area, then choose this option and select the copied definition. See Finding an Appropriate Definition and Reusing Existing Definitions for further information.

4. Depending on your choice, follow one of the following sets of instructions:
