OLAP and BW Terminology
OLAP Term BW Term
dimension [External] characteristic
measure [External] key figure
member [External] characteristic level
level [External] hierarchy level
For OLAP systems, we use the caption value from your data service to display
in the wizard fields. For relational systems, we display the field name from your
data service.
Result
Once you have completed all required wizard screens and clicked Finish, you return to the
Visual Composer workspace, where a new data service has been created with the query you
have configured.
The data service is configured automatically with a start input and a table view as output.
These three elements together constitute a complete iView, ready for preview and
deployment to your portal.
• If you have configured your query directly in a data service instead of
using the BI Query Wizard, you must configure the input and output ports
of your data service manually. See Configuring Queries Directly in Data
Services [Page 123] for more information.
• For Heatmap [Page
99] templates, an HTML view that generates a
heatmap is created on the URL port.
• For data services based on BW-native [Page
120] systems, an HTML
view that displays the default Web template is generated on the URL
port.
To continue working with your data service and query, see:
• Working With Queries [Page
130]
• Using the MDX Editor [Page
125]
• Using the SQL Editor [Page
128]
Example
For a complete end-to-end example of using the BI Query Wizard, see Example 4: BI iView
